Ana endeavours to provide a peaceful home from home and achieves this well. She is friendly helpful calm and welcoming. I got a sense I was sharing a traditional Portuguese living space with her which was authentic to the core for those who wish to immerse yourself in the traditional culture. The village down the hill had the most amazing vegetable shop for healthy living and I am vegan so my needs were very well catered for. Good internet connection was provided. The beaches and countryside provide lovely restaurants cafes and views of varying types. Of course Sintra is stunning and Lisboa worth a visit. A very enjoyable stay for the week
