Madelena, her family and het dogs gave us a warm welcome and helped us with all the questions we had. It's also a great place to stay with small children. We were with a 1 1/2 year old and a baby bed as well as some toys were all there. The house is very comfortable and has a nice, cosy atmosphere. It's very nice to sit outside looking out on on the beautiful nature and castles. There's lots to do closeby. Visiting the castles, the beautiful rough beaches and the great city Lissabon. There is also a great coffee bar with great pastries right beside the house which is a wonderful place to start the day.
