I first looked at this house in November 2019 and booked for September 2020. As we all know Covid arrived early 2020 bringing with it destruction, disruption and many restrictions to daily life around the world.
The travel restrictions between Ireland and Portugal never seemed to synchronise resulting in a two year delay to our original plan to visit Portugal and the Porto area.
Our decision to book Maria‘s house did not disappoint, from the opening of the door to the closing of it. This house tells a story of a home that has and is loved, it is welcoming, charming but most of all a place of easy comfort.The location allows you to be along side the local people going about their daily business while offering easy access to tourist opportunities by train.
I was so pleased to meet Maria after our long wait, the house is simply an echo of herself, welcoming, charming, with that rare ability to put you at ease in her much loved home .
