Paula’s place worked out well for our 2-night stay. We were able to walk from the house for a short hike, but also drive short distances and then do some wonderful hiking, including exploring the Geopark area near Arouca. Communication was great. Paula provides a lot of information for sightseeing, and provides good guidance for getting to the house, which had a wonderful view from the balcony. There is a narrow spiral staircase which might be a problem for people with mobility issues. We found this to be an area of Portugal not well visited by foreign tourists, but yet has a great deal of outside activities to explore.
