The house is very welcoming and Hugo & Liliana did a tremendous job making us feel comfortable by attending to any/all questions. We had a beautiful week at the house and even when raining it is still the perfect place to be. I definitely recommend renting a car because while the location is very close to Lisbon, and many other towns & cities, it is the best experience to drive versus scheduling cars in advance. Everything you need is already at the house, it is beautifully appointed, just bring your favorite group of people.
