Kevin and Diane (and little Skye) are all lovely people, who really made me feel welcome. I am very grateful to have spent some time relaxing at their place. It was also great hearing about their plans and discoveries, and talking about the country and countryside in general. Thank you for including me and being such wonderful people!
The house itself is a nicely renovated farmhouse, with all the basics covered in addition to some quite nice bonuses. For instance the courtyard is great for a slow breakfast; even in December! Like at any other Portuguese home in winter it can get a bit chilly inside in the evenings, but unlike most places it is easy to get the kitchen nice and warm. I'd imagine the thick walls of the house also makes it pleasantly cool in the summer.
This is a lovely and peaceful place, perfect for an idyllic countryside stay!
