What a great experience! Our family of four stayed at Rafaela's place for almost a month. First, it is much more spacious than the pictures show. Lot's of space for our family to spread out. The outdoor space was wonderful too! The house was spotlessly clean on our arrival with a lovely supply of fresh produce, herbs and flowers from the garden. Even better than the house was Rafaela's hospitality. No request was too small, and any questions were answered quickly. Rafaela provided one of the most comprehensive book of recommendations for activities. We used many of her ideas and they were all great! If you are looking for a peaceful place as a starting off point for day trips to Lisbon, Sintra, Obidos and beaches, than this is for you! Highly recommended!
