Our stay at Alexandra's place was wonderful. We were welcomed by Alexandra and her children, who walked us through the house and the property making sure we felt at home. There was also a plate full of home-baked goodies made by Alexandra's mother. Throughout our five-night stay Alexandra kept in touch to make sure we were doing alright. She is a wonderful host! The house is nice and well-stocked. The pool, multiple outdoor eating areas, large green spaces, and outdoor BBQ were fabulous! There is a small grocery store two minutes walk from the property and a large Intermarche only a five minute drive. During our stay we visited Magikland--15 minute drive; Amarante--20 minute drive; and Porto--1/2 an hour drive (or you can also use the Park and Ride metro service if you don't want to drive in the city). If you need anything during your stay, both Fatima and Pedro are available throughout the day. We highly recommend this relaxing and beautiful property and kind host.
