Een charmante ontsnapping! We genoten van de rustige omgeving en de charmante inrichting van het huisje. De eetgelegenheden waren een stukje rijden, maar het nabijgelegen meer maakte dat ruimschoots goed.

¡Amamos nuestra estadía aquí! Ubicación super tranquila, a solo un corto viaje en coche de restaurantes y supermercados, La sala de estar era acogedora, y la estufa de leña la hacía sentir como en casa, Perfecto para una escapada de fin de semana, pero me hubiera gustado que hubiera más opciones para cenar en las cercanías

Vi hade en härlig vistelse i denna charmiga stuga i Covas! De lugna omgivningarna gjorde det till den perfekta tillflyktsorten för min partner och mig, Vi tillbringade våra dagar med att slappa vid den delade poolen och utforska de närliggande skogsstigarna, bara en kort promenad från fastigheten, Värden var otroligt välkomnande, och bekvämligheterna var mer än tillräckliga för våra behov, Vedspisen gav en mysig känsla till våra kvällar, Sammanfattningsvis var det en härlig upplevelse som vi varmt skulle rekommendera!
