Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Woche im Haus von Isabel und Sergio. Es fing schon sehr schön an, weil Isabel uns in der Nähe abholte und uns eine Flasche guter Wein und Pastéis de Nata im Haus erwarteten. Das Haus ist wirklich geschmackvoll und sehr persönlich eingerichtet. Der Garten mit den vielen Blumen ist sehr hübsch angelegt. Die ganze Umgebung hat uns ausgezeichnet gefallen!
Maison très bien aménagée, décorée avec beaucoup de goût, au milieu d'un jardin magnifique. Idéal pour un séjour de tout repos...Merci Isabel pour votre accueil.
Wir haben eine Woche im Juli in Affife verbracht und die Zeit hier sehr genossen. Das Haus ist idyllisch gelegen und hat Stil, der blumenreiche Garten gleich neben dem Bach mit glasklarem Wasser ist ein Traum! Der Kontakt mit der Vermieterin im Vorfeld, der Empfang und die Betreuung während des Aufenthalts war sehr angenehm. Wir können das Haus uneingeschränkt empfehlen.

A Glorious Two Weeks in Paradise
This genuinely gorgeous stone house, with its wonderful tree filled garden and river side position was our home for two weeks. I almost dread writing this because it is such a stunning place that I suspect it will soon be difficult to get a booking for it! However, it deserves to have its praises sung - the wonderful small river running next to it, the barbecue and lush garden, a million places to sit and read, write or just relax, set amidst the cobbled backstreets of a sleepy seaside town, in cycling or driving distance of an array of absolutely wonderful beaches and good restaurants, full of silence at night, deeply quiet in the early mornings, but still alive with local people and their lives....I can't think of a better place to spend real time when you need to unwind, but don't want to be out in the middle of nowhere. I could imagine having a writers retreat here - it certainly encouraged my own reading and writing....thank you so much. The family who owns it are very kind and make sure everything in it is working - they are discreet but always available to give advice and help out with questions. Kitchen well stocked, movies for cooler evenings and a dvd player - but the blessed absence of wifi which meant we really spent more time with ourselves and not just endlessly online....thank you, Afife Stream House, I miss you already and will definitely try and come back!!!!
