Response from VrboOwner on 15 July 2024
Dear Guests Take-out containers, empty wine bottles, or leftover food continually thrown over the fence onto neighbors' property are not acceptable attitudes in our accommodation. Guests arrived earlier, on June 30th and on July 2nd we started having complaints from our neighbour. Guests were politely asked not to do it more than once, which can be "very boring and stressful", both for them and the owners. - The pool was clean and vacuumed, and works on an automatic filtration system. The lack of a stronger smell of chlorine is not an indicator of the cleanliness of the pool water, as explained. - Guest mentioned getting his ears full of water. When asked if it was because of our pool he said no, that that happened to him all the time, he was used to it, and ear plugs were uncomfortable. - As mentioned on our website page, there is no TV in the house but if required we will provide one. Guest was warned about it before his arrival and was told we would provide a tv set. We couldn't have all the sports channels but he said he had his PC and would connect via wifi. Our philosophy has been encouraging detox from electronic devices, enjoying nature and relaxing. Which has been greatly appreciated by those who stay in our home. - We have not only WIFI but also a portable router which can be moved to a more convenient place - Their mattress was an orthopedic one but it can still be uncomfortable for the lady who said she suffers from chronic back pain due to other health issues. I sincerely hope that she can recover and improve her health over time. - We regret the sleepless nights worried about the car. That's why Guests were told upon arrival to open the gate and park inside the property. As most of our guests do, their choice. We have photos of the house and its description and location on the listing website. Exactly so that guests can understand whether it is the right house for their stay or whether it is the area of the country where they want to go. From what the guest said and his wife confirmed, he not only saw nothing other than the photo of the pool, but he didn't even show it to his wife. Clearly she was not happy with it. Under other circumstances guests could have enjoyed their stay better. Quoting... « i hope nobody have the same bad experience I had » Chers invités Les récipients à emporter, les bouteilles de vin vides ou les restes de nourriture jetés continuellement par-dessus la clôture sur la propriété des voisins ne sont pas des attitudes acceptables dans notre logement. Les clients sont arrivés plus tôt, le 30 juin, et le 2 juillet, nous avons commencé à recevoir des plaintes de notre voisin. Nous avons demandé poliment aux clients de ne pas le faire plus d'une fois, ce qui peut être "très ennuyeux et stressant", à la fois pour eux et pour les propriétaires. - La piscine était propre et nettoyée à l'aspirateur, et fonctionne avec un système de filtration automatique. L'absence d'une forte odeur de chlore n'est pas un indicateur de la propreté de l'eau de la piscine, comme cela a été expliqué. - Un client a mentionné qu'il avait les oreilles pleines d'eau. Lorsqu'on lui a demandé si c'était à cause de notre piscine, il a répondu que non, que cela lui arrivait tout le temps, qu'il était habitué et que les bouchons d'oreille étaient inconfortables. - Comme indiqué sur notre site Internet, il n'y a pas de télévision dans la maison, mais nous pouvons en fournir une si nécessaire. Le client a été prévenu avant son arrivée et on lui a dit que nous lui fournirions un téléviseur. Nous ne pouvions pas avoir toutes les chaînes sportives mais il a dit qu'il avait son PC et qu'il se connecterait par wifi. Notre philosophie consiste à encourager la désintoxication des appareils électroniques, à profiter de la nature et à se détendre. Ce qui a été très apprécié par ceux qui ont séjourné dans notre maison. - Nous disposons non seulement du WIFI, mais aussi d'un routeur portable qui peut être déplacé dans un endroit plus pratique. - - Leur matelas était orthopédique, mais il peut encore être inconfortable pour la dame qui dit souffrir de maux de dos chroniques dus à d'autres problèmes de santé. J'espère sincèrement qu'elle pourra se rétablir et améliorer sa santé avec le temps. - Nous regrettons les nuits blanches passées à s'inquiéter pour la voiture. C'est pourquoi il a été demandé aux clients, à leur arrivée, d'ouvrir le portail et de se garer à l'intérieur de la propriété. Comme le font la plupart de nos hôtes, c'est leur choix. Nous avons des photos de la maison, sa description et son emplacement sur le site web de l'annonce. Exactement pour que les clients puissent comprendre si la maison convient à leur séjour ou si c'est la région du pays où ils veulent aller. D'après ce qu'a dit le client et ce qu'a confirmé sa femme, non seulement il n'a rien vu d'autre que la photo de la piscine, mais il ne l'a même pas montrée à sa femme. Il est clair qu'elle n'était pas satisfaite. Dans d'autres circonstances, les clients auraient pu mieux profiter de leur séjour. Je cite... " J'espère que personne n'aura la même mauvaise expérience que moi "

4 dias em família estupendos

Foram 4 dias em família super agradáveis! A D. Helena é super atenta, bem como todo o pessoal com quem tivemos contacto durante a nossa estadia. O entorno da casa é deveras tranquilo e agradável, a zona da piscina tem umas vistas espectaculares e praticamente não se nota o vento. Se tivesse que dizer algo a melhorar seria a cama de casal que que para mim e o meu namorado era demasiado dura. Mas de resto foi tudo muito bom, repetirei com certeza se tiver oportunidade.

Heerlijke vakantie gehad in casa da forja!

Het gastenverblijf bestaat uit twee gebouwtjes die gescheiden zijn door een overdekte patio. De gebouwen zijn authentiek, netjes en sfeervol. Er is veel privacy en de gastvrouwen zijn alleraardigst. Het zwembad is het absolute hoogtepunt. Heerlijk groot, met een diep en een ondiep gedeelte. Als we een verbeterpunt moeten noemen dan is dat het 2-persoonsbed. Die vonden wij nogal aan de harde kant. Maar wie van rust, authenticiteit en privacy houdt, die moet zeker een bezoek brengen aan casa da Forja.

Excellent Holiday

We enjoyed our stay im Casa de Forja, Monte Penedo very much. The place is very beautiful. We enjoyed the company of Guga and Nica - the dogs - who accompnied us everywhere. Helena's Mum was very generous with the fruit and vergetables of the garden and always had a ready smile and kind word for us. We swam everyday in the huge swimming pool. Helena herself came late at night when we could not get the gas stove going. We were able to do big and small outings to places closer and those futher away. We would reccomend this place to all people who love animals, walks, picnics, nature, swimming and tranquility.

Superb stay- everything we wanted and more !

Our experience of Casa da forja was excellent and we hope to return again without a doubt. The hosts are extremely kind, flexible and friendly people who made our stay extra special. They offered us the experience to harvest almonds, grapes and figs from the land and we were offered vegetables and fruits which was fantastic. Their passion for caring for the land, flowers, trees and grapes was great. The property is a garden paradise and our dog enjoyed the freedom of the space and the company of the resident dogs who were sweet and sociable. The pool was a real highlight for us, just a stones throw from our house. It’s nestled in the trees, very private and with an amazing view of the valley. The landscape overall was stunning, and we enjoyed a short drive to the charming market in Mouriscas with plenty of local products and bbq chicken! We didn’t make to the local river beaches as we found the property so relaxing. BBQ was great, with outside dining table, living space was clean and spacious, occupying two houses which were well decorated and comfortable. Shower was good and always warm water. We loved the fresh flowers left for us in the kitchen! Our four year old son was in heaven, getting involved with the harvesting, playing with the dogs and being at the pool. Thank you so much for everything !

Tranquilidade

O alojamento encontra-se num vale bastante tranquilo onde o som mais frequente são os passarinhos. Acesso fácil de carro até Mação onde podemos fazer as nossas compras para confecionar as refeições na quinta ou comer nos restaurantes locais. Perto do alojamento há de locais lindos para visitar e praias fluviais. O alojamento está com uma decoração típica, e a única coisa que achámos falta foi numa máquina de café cápsulas para tomarmos de manhã ou enquando andávamos por ali e não nos apetecia sair. Na quinta há uma piscina espetacular que não pudemos usufruir como gostaríamos porque o estado do tempo contrariou as nossas expetativas, estando frio e aguaceiros. A sra Helena e a sua mãe sra Idalina mostraram se sempre muito disponíveis para nos orientar/ ajudar e sempre muito simpáticas. O Juca e a Nica (o cão e cadela ) e os gatitos (especialmente a mais velha e o mais novinho) também nos deixaram derretidos e aceitaram bem o nosso cão que foi conosco (família de 4, já todos adultos). Gostámos da estada e estamos a pensar voltar com melhor prognóstico meteorológico.

"Confinando" *****

A casa está localizada em uma pequena aldeia e que permite-lhe desfrutar de uma vista muito bonita! Nesta contexto de Pandemia é o lugar ideal para “confinar”. Tem uma piscina grande (privada), jardim e alguns animais de quinta, que fazem as delicias dos pequenos e dos graúdos 😊. Os proprietários, são de uma simpatia e hospitalidade indescritível, para além de disponíveis e receptivos, até nos ofereceu os ovos para o pequeno almoço e alface para salada 😊. Excelentes instalações, adorável, limpa e uma e vista… sem prédios …Um ótimo lugar para uma escapada, férias relaxante… eu recomendo e voltarei em breve.
