Carole's place is absolutely marvelous! The view is amazing, the flowers were in bloom, and it was really nice to have a kitchen for breakfast. Additionally, Carole had stocked the kitchen with fresh bread, jam, butter, milk, juice, eggs, and yogurt! For those who have been to Europe before, you know how expensive a breakfast out can be, so this was extremely appreciated! Carole also has a folder put together with all the information you could possibly need for the area, including spot-on restaurant recommendations. The place was clean, comfortable, and we'll definitely be recommending it to all our friends (in addition to trying to return ourselves one day - but we won't make the same mistake twice - next time we'll schedule more than 2 nights there!) Carole is an extremely gracious host and we enjoyed meeting her and getting an expert view into life in Portugal!
