Our stay was magical. We felt like we stepped back in time however with all the amenities one would need for a comfortable stay . The house was beautifully restored with attention to detail. The fresh Portuguese bread hanging on the door each morning was an awesome way to start the day. We loved the little hamlet , the local restaurant and the reception/store. We were surprised at how much there is to see and do in this area of Portugal. Only problem was having to leave. We will definitely return and would recommend Mata Paquena for a unique unforgettable stay.
