The cottage was what Airbnb was meant to be - part of a home but brilliantly adapted for guests, full of thoughtful touches and beautifully designed. Truly a 5* stay but personal not corporate. Many homes in Portugal are cold in the winter and the Airbnb listing may say there is heating but mean a tricky wood fire. This stay had incredibly efficient central heating and piping hot water - as well as everything else. The marmalade cat is very friendly.
