We headed to Janas - Sintra direktly from a festival that lasted 1 week. In the Taxi both of us were thinking about how hard it would be to stay and sleep 1 more week in a tent until we reached the adress Rua da Requijada 17.
We were immediatly welcomed from Carlos, his wife racquel and had the opportunity to meet his lovely daughter after some minutes without knowing that this family will become a part of our hearts over the coming days.
1. Carlos and his family are ready to help even when it has to do with ordering a Pizza at sunday night because we speak no Portuguese.
2. The pool was one of the best things that happened to me. Whenever it was hot, the pool was chilled clean and cool and ready to refresh me and my whole day.
3. In the Kitchen there is all what you need to cook and not only a meal for 2 persons. One night we grilled with carlos and his family and allllllllllllll the guests on the farm. We were 12 people. We missed nothing and had a wonderful unforgetable time.
4. One thing u won't miss when u get to Requijada Grande is watching Carlos all over the day roaming from one spot to the other cleaning and doing everything only for the comfort of the guests.
5. At Last but not least is the comfort everyone has although sleeping in a tent. A 1st Class air Mattress wrapped in a fresh, clean and comfortable Mattress cover. We had two pillows and two sleeping bags and a blanket incase it gets cold at night and all in the same freshness as the mattress (as if they were never used before).
Inaddition to all of this the best cappuccino, No. 1 Natas and one of the best Choclate Cakes that i ever had are served in a coffee shop that is not more than some hunderd meters from the farm. Right beside the coffee shop is the Groccery Store, where we became all what we needed....
Once again thanks to you and ur whole family carlos and bob marley... It was the best vacation and the greatest times we ever had.
