The 7 of us including a 4 year old and a 21 month old had a great stay. It was an apartment full of characters, and thoughtfully stocked with essentials such as dishwasher tablets, washing tablets, toilet rolls and plenty of crockery. Communication was great from before till after the stay.
At our request, Joao arranged for us a personalised tour of the Peninsula War battlefields which was thoroughly enjoyed and completely surpassed expectation.
