Everything was fine

Hugo and André are the best hosts ever, very friendly and we had a great week in their little house. The surrounding beaches and the atlantic ocean are great, almost empty, and the trails through the beautiful reservation really full of beauty.

Awesome rural house

Lovely studio house in a quiet location that is a short drive to many beautiful and unspoiled places. Hugo was always very kind and helpful. The house was very well equipped and it is exactly as described. With two young children, we obviously missed a laundry machine, though there is a nice area outside the house for washing and hanging out clothes, which is really handy. We really enjoyed our stay and wished we could stay longer...

Nice but small

This house is ideal for a young couple. It has a number of positives, but it was not the right ideal for us with a baby. Positives: Manager very friendly and informative Nice area, peaceful Quiet Well equipped, everything works Good barbecue with fuel provided Negatives Very small spaces, not good if you are tall Bed is uncomfortable and noisy We had a very nice stay, but slept badly because of the space was not good to have a young child, and the bed was noisy and uncomfortable. I would recommend a good place to stay for a young couple.

Peaceful location 👌

We spent a week at this lovely accommodation in Portugal and had a wonderful time. The location is incredibly peaceful, making it a perfect getaway. However, having a car is essential to explore the area, as it’s about a one and half-hour drive from Lisbon. The surroundings are absolutely stunning, with many beautiful beaches nearby. We particularly enjoyed a surf school that was only about 20 minutes away. 😃 While the accommodation doesn’t have a washing machine, there is an old-style outdoor sink perfect for hand washing, which worked out quite well for us.👌 Upon arrival, the host had prepared a bottle of wine for us, which was a lovely touch. The host was also very responsive and helpful, promptly addressing any needs we had. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a tranquil retreat near Lisbon.

Calidad- precio mala

Cosas positivas: la ubicación, camas cómodas y baño amplio. La playa es una pasada. Cosas malas: la casa es muy pequeña (las fotos están hechas con mucha astucia). Cocina: no se puede usar. Toallas: solo pusieron dos para 7 días. El porche es pequeño e incómodo. La nevera hace mucho ruido por la noche y hay que quitarla. No hay espacio para dejar las cosas (metimos las cosas en el coche). No hubo agua caliente el último día y la última tarde ellos estuvieron regando por la finca. Las puertas son un rollo… en fin, la playa es genial y la zona es bonita. El precio de la casa exagerado. El

Siempre que quieras volver, siempre puedes contar con nosotros para ayudarte a encontrar otro lugar que sea más adecuado para ti en esta maravillosa pieza de Portugal!
