My wife and I stayed for 2 nights over the weekend. The flat was very nicely decorated, clean and cozy, in a lovely street that is worth a few photos itself. The size is perfect for a couple. The bed was large and comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped, though we did not have the time to cook a meal ourselves. The bathroom space is a bit limited by US standard, but it was no problem for us.

The neighborhood was lively during the day, quiet in the evenings, and in the mornings we heard sounds of peacock from inside the castle, which is dozens of steps away. We enjoyed every of our breakfast at the cafe right outside the entrance of the Castelo.

Mafalda was very friendly, welcoming and helpful, and was quite flexible for check-in/check-out arrangement. The pdf note she sent to us prior to arrival has a dozen pages of useful information, including restaurants and sightseeing recommendations, as well as tips about local transportation. She responded to our emails and SMS's promptly from booking to checkout, and showed the room nicely upon checkin. We were also welcomed by the Portuguese wine :)

The stay made us very happy and I definitely recommend the place!
