The house breaths the old Portugal with much antique furniture and art but it doesn't lack any modern confort. You feel like you are in someone else's house where time stood still for 100 years which you have to appreciate which I did. It's not some anonymous hotel or appartment. Also a lot of attention has been paid to gifts like local foods and wine, first aid package, fire extinguishers and so on. The neighbours are relatives and very helpfull. We were there while April showed his cold and rainy face with strong windgusts which was not the ideal time since the fireplace is not in use. A heater brought a little comfort. Apart from that we lived there like it was our own house. We plan to come back in the summer since we were told that it's proximity to the beach makes it a refreshing place compaired with inland Portugal. All in all very much recommended, especially in the summer and for a real Portuguese experience!
