Isabel`s place is a charming old home in a charming old town. It is filled with intriguing decor both old and new has a lovely outdoor space. It`s only a few minutes to beautiful beaches and any services you might need. Lisbon can be reached in under an hour. We also found the community both welcoming and helpful. We stayed there for a full five months and there was the occasional maintenance issue but Isabel got everything attended to immediately. The front of the house can get a little noisy with traffic and sometimes it`s a little hard to stay warm (but hey, it`s an old house, it`s part of the charm) but don`t let that stop you from coming. We found Isabel to be a highly professional host and a genuinely nice person. Definitely recommended.
