My family had a wonderful stay at Casa Da Eira. The accommodation was perfect for the 13 of us including 4 children under the age of 6. Even in the extreme heat of the summer, keeping the windows and blinds shut during the day and opening them at night kept the villa cool round the clock. There is no AC but it really wasn't necessary. We became accustomed to the hourly chiming of the church steeple and the carillons from Alvarenga and found it to be quaint. The "pool" is not modern but certainly adequate to enhance the recreation available and cool down after several sets of tennis. Be aware though that the lawn sprinklers turn on at 12:30 PM and 5:30 PM everyday! We never found a game room so I am not sure where ping pong and snooker was available. The facility was clean and the kitchen functional. We did not receive check in instructions but fortunately the house keeper "Alice" was available and supportive throughout our stay. Groceries, restaurants and activities are all close by. The host was extremely responsive. When the washing machine broke, it was replaced with a new machine in less than 24 hours. This was one of our most enjoyable and comfortable Airbnb experiences in years.
