We had a lovely stay, the villa was very clean and well equipped. The pool is a great size. Perfect location if you look for peace and privacy. We hired some bikes for a week which is overall good to get around but the roads up to the villa are quite steep. Car is recommended, next village is about 1 hour to walk but there is a path all the way down.
Great little house in rural location with stunning views across the valley. A good place to visit other areas and the coast line. Super restaurent 10 mins away at Raizes. Excellent food shopping / supermarkets 10-15 mins away at main town. We don't eat out much and cook in and the Kitchen has everything we needed, main beds very comfortable and linen & towels excellent. This is not an area with nightlife or heaps of people so if you want to get away from it all it's a perfect location. The only bit I don't like is that it is a managed property so you do not get that direct chat with the owner, and a deposit is taken and you do not get an answer on if they will charge you until 7 days after you have holidayed. However even that would not put us off booking again as the house pool and sunshine were terrific.

October Break
Property is showing signs of wear and tear,you have to do a full inventory upon arrival ( parsol was blown over upon our arrival so we placed it under the shelter and didn’t use it during our stay we have been charged €70 for this ?) the outside area was terrible pool was disgusting the neighbours have a chicken coop at the side which didn’t impact noise wise too much the smell definitely did, it’s not as rural or quiet as the previous reviews stated the property description states access from the bedrooms to terraces and well maintained garden to enjoy, neither is true, we had people parking on the property to work in the adjoining plot which impacted the privacy somewhat , very poor.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that certain aspects of your stay didn’t meet your expectations.
Regarding the inventory, we want to clarify that it’s not mandatory for guests; also we conduct thorough inspections before and after each guest's stay to ensure everything is in order. The parasol was in good condition prior arrival and found damaged at checkout, which is why a charge was applied.
While we strive to maintain the outdoor areas and pool for guest enjoyment, we understand that the proximity of a neighboring chicken coop may have impacted your experience. Unfortunately, we have no control over neighboring properties.
We value your comments and will use them to continue improving our property and service. Thank you again for staying with us.

Sossego
Localização, transmitindo sossego
Um cesto de boas vindas não ficaria mal, nem que fosse uma cesta de fruta, água, café...
Melhorar a casa, completamente cheia de salitre em todas as divisões

Obrigada pelo seu comentário!
Ficamos contentes que tenha gostado da propriedade.
Infelizmente não é fornecido uma cesta devido aos diferentes gostos dos nossos hospedes e para garantir que não existe algum produto estragado.
Entretanto oferecemos sempre como um mimo de chegada uma mala da Check-in Portugal que poderá usar durante os seus passeios pela cidade.
