We had a great stay in Parede. The apartment was just like the pictures, fresh and clean! We didn't realise that this was a professional agent, and then the charm isn't the same. ( there was a trouble with the front door key, we got a new key. But even that needed a special twist!) There wasn't a balcony, and the pool was clean - but not cosy! The apartment is a nice base to discover the area west of Lisbon!
