Joao couldn’t be there while we stayed at his lovely house but he sent a friend to welcome us and show us around the house. Joao was very thoughtful and always checked on us to see if we needed anything. The house is lovely and big and the bed was really soft and comfortable. He provided breakfast amenities and towels and everything was really clean at the house. You do have to walk about 30 min to reach the central area but it was a walk we enjoyed and discovered a lot of different areas thanks to this. If you don’t want to walk or can’t for any reason; public transportation is available everywhere. Even though we couldn’t meet them and the lovely dogs we felt at home thanks to their hospitality and will definitely come back if we can!
