Great little place in the middle of it all. Was welcomed with a bottle of Vinho Verde, which was nice. There are some definite down sides to be considered though. Although it states no AC, it was nearly impossible to sleep with no cooling/fan in the middle of summer!! I mean, it was unbearable!! If you want to come back and rest - impossible (granted there was a heat wave in Portugal)! I was tossing and turning for five out of the seven nights I was there. Also, bring your own toiletries and don’t expect an iron or steamer. There was just a little bit of body wash that was not sufficient for my stay and no shampoo. All these small things together with the lack of AC started to add up over time and became quite frustrating. Sabine’s communication was kind and helpful at times but not always responsive in a timely fashion. She tries to save on waste and electricity maybe a little too much. The shower constantly clogged and eventually became quite unsanitary and extremely unpleasant (gross)! Hot water does not last more than five minutes. As much as I liked the view, I probably would choose somewhere else if I had to do it again.
