Fernando met us with a smile and made us feel very welcome. Beyond the basics, he provided access to some basic foods, a wine and chocolates. He pointed us to the local supermarket - 100 metres across the park. It was about the same to the railway station, if we had wanted to get into Lisbon. It was about 15 minutes walk to the National Palace and old town, and another 45 minutes or so to walk from there up to the Moorish castle and/or Pena Palace. There was pay parking at the door (very convenient for loading and unloading) and free parking in close-by streets. A very convenient location.

The apartment was lovely, with a modern feel, and everything worked wonderfully. We were extremely comfortable during our stay. The best apartment we have had in Spain and Portugal. Thank you Fernando.
