My experience at Casa de Rústica was such a good one I can not wait to go back and spend a longer time in this absolutely beautiful place. The house is an old one, tastefully renovated and its decoration is cosy and bright. A large window oversees a green valley and sitting in the balcony is just paradise: birds singing, the sound of water along a creek, flowers blooming in this early Spring time. The garden is well kept and flower combination great.
Communication with the owner - Maria Elisabete - was way more than one could expect. Not only is Maria Elisabete very communicative and nice, she is also very keen on sharing her inside and deep knowledge of the region (all her cues on restaurants are a must!).
Unfortunately, I could not meet Maria Elisabete personally - this will certainly happen soon. Instead, Ms. Lurdes welcomed us with a big smile and explained everything thoroughly. Every time we had a question, she always answered us.
Definitely a place to stay - definitely a region to came back to!
