What a wonderful house, with such personable, kinds hosts. This listing deserves 5 stars all day long.
The location is magical, of course, but the house itself almost matches — in artistic, subtle beauty — the intensity of Portugal’s coast west of Lisbon. The pictures don’t lie.
Dalila and Joe were a pleasure to communicate with — and so helpful, with everything from local recommendations to thoughtful commentary on what it’s like to live internationally, making Portugal a part of your life for the long term.
Would I go back? In a heartbeat. Would the second time be as good? Probably better—even though the first time felt unbeatable.
