We stayed in Casa Melo for a week, taking road trips in the mornings (Sintra, Mafra, Peniche, all at comfortable driving distance), visiting the beaches in the afternoons (we loved the huge waves at Praia do Sul, Ericeira!)

The house is spacious, and even more beautiful in real life then in the pictures. Very carefully detailed. A wonderful break, without clutter or distractions. Very clean and well-facilitated.

Having attention and to detail and being thoughtful is also how we would describe Alexandra herself. Both in communication and actions. We arrived very late, which was no problem. She even had bought a bread, so we would have something to eat. With this, came a jar of the best jam we ever tasted (doce de amora), made by Alexandra's mother Edite.

We would definitely recommend staying in Casa Melo, and would not hesitate to book again.
