Carole is wonderful! As is her place. We were there 4 nights and she had great restaurant recommendations along with sites to see. Beds were very comfortable (and she came in and made them! ). Carole's part of the house is up beautiful garden stairs and she was very available and friendly. Then, when we both left our plug adapters behind, she called to see if we could meet up so she could return them. (We left them for future forgetful guests.) We can't recommend the host or the place more! Gorgeous! Thank you for giving us a great start to our Portugal sojourn, Carole
