We absolutely loved Joana's place and so did our two kids (age 5 and 9). The house and garden exactly the peaceful and comfortable haven we wanted and in fact the pictures do not do justice to how nice this place is. The pool is the perfect size and always very clean - our kids spent hours in there and never got bored. The location of the place is great because it's quiet and rural but at the same time easy to access some of most spectacular beaches in Europe (especially if you are into surfing). At the same time there are lovely mountains nearby (Serra de Montejunto) and other attractions such as the medieval walled town of Obidos. This place is highly recommended.
