This is a nice place to stay, but you have to lower one‘s sights in some aspects. We really enjoyed staying at Barbro‘s place and she has always been available and very helpful. But please note, that it is easier to reach out to her per Whatsapp.
The appartement is located in a nice fisherman‘s town and it‘s really quiet and cosy. Laid in the mountains it is always somehow humid there. You have a microclimate and you never know how the weather will be in the next hours. But you can always go to the beach where the weather could be better. Just check a good weather app or ask Barbro. We recommend Ursa Beach (wear good shoes, because there is a steep way down to the beach), Quinta da Regaleira in Sintra and a trip to Sesimbra and do SUP.
About the downsides: Unfortunately the rooms have not been very tidy. There have been (old) cobwebs everywhere and vermins in the bedroom. We can understand that it is difficult, to keep the house clean, when you‘re living in the wood somehow, but it should have been cleaner as we arrived. In the bathroom you could see the dirt in some corners. This always left an uncomfortable feeling.
For us the coffee maker was not a really coffee maker. We helped ourselves with buying an espresso machine to put on the stove for ten Euros, so it was fine. The wi-fi has not been the strongest. So if you want to stream movies, it could get difficult.
