We just got back from our awesome Portugal trip and had the opportunity to stay in this house among the pine trees. Its a truly great property and lovely in so many ways. A special spot, really. The property is large and natural with mature trees and flora, and has a stately feeling to it without being pretentious. The grounds and the privacy and the traditional (but updated) character of the house all contribute to making it a place we would recommend to anyone and would book again in a heartbeat. The property manager, Carlos, was super helpful and attentive and its obvious he loves what he does. We felt safe and comfortable and were a short drive from all the sites of the area. It was really hard to leave the house. But we do hope to return one day.
