Claire's home is incredibly beautiful and peaceful. I wouldn't hesitate to book if you are looking for a place to stay in Portugal. There is a special calmness and magic to Claire's land, and I feel lucky to have spent a month there.
It was very easy to navigate by bus or by foot as we did not have a car. Nearby villages (where you can buy food) are fun and scenic to walk to. I felt like I had a lot of privacy (the house is completely surrounded by beautiful plants and the view of the sea), though Claire was happy to help with suggestions. She even gave us some delicious ingredients to cook with on the first night as we arrived late, and gave us firestarters/firewood.
The house is right by the beach so you can wake up and go swimming right away, any time. She also has the best dogs in the world (please let me know, Claire, if Isla ever has puppies). I miss them very much. I wish I could have stayed there for even longer and hope to return.
