Mariana's villa is beautiful. From the start, she was very communicative and helpful. The farm is located in a perfect location, Bairro Alto da Boavista. The property is picturesque. There was secure gated parking on premise. Mariana was very welcoming. The villa is very spacious with gaping windows lettings in natural light. I could see and feel the history in the home with old mid-century pictures and an astonishing library.
We were able to walk up to Parque e Palácio Nacional da Pena (keep in mind we are young and athletic, 30min one way). The local area itself has a lot to offer with plenty of places to eat. I would suggest Nau Palatina in São Pedro de Penaferrim. It was a lovely evening walking back to the villa.
