We were met by a sweet lady, Isabelle, who made us feel very welcome. She not only showed us all the amenities, she went the extra mile, purchasing a coffee press for our use. She also brought us homemade marmalade as well. She helped us with our bags, and, although there was a little of a language barrier, she obviously communicated her message well and made us feel very welcome. The host, Afonso, was very good with communicating with us, answered emails expeditiously, and was extremely helpful and kind. The house is charming and location is great.
