We loved staying at Sérgio's place. His parents were super nice and our little daughter enjoyed playing in the yard and grass. It was great to have a place where she could run around with no worries. The house was cool during our stay, which was a very welcome change from our own place that had been too hot for comfort. Mafra is quite close and the bread festival was on-going and a good visit. Ericeira is also very near.
