Thank you for your wonderful review! I’m glad to hear that you found the place very clean, appreciated our quick responses, and enjoyed the great location. We look forward to welcoming you back!
Pedro’s father Fernando checked us in and was very welcoming! The house was as described and very clean. However, there is no longer a pool on the veranda. The Portuguese style house tucked into the mountains was a beautiful start to our trip.
Property was exactly as pictured. Well stocked with anything you would need and very very clean. Easy check in and communication with host. Excellent Wi-Fi and host respects your privacy.

Great house with all features you could want in a holiday home
We had a great stay and the communication with Pedro was fantastic. He provided lots of tips for the area which made everything easier.
The house is big and the kitchen is well equipped… it’s basically your home from home. .our daughter enjoyed the little pool and the room with the three beds was perfect for us :)
We would stay again if we come back to the area in future.

É dificil escrever, porque não há palavras para descrever. Toda a envolvência com o Proprietário de elevadissima qualidade. Boa localização, a propriedade é algo que, só vendo e estando para acreditar. Portanto, recomendo hoje e sempre. Muito bom para respirar uns dias fora do “ruído”, quando se quer ou precisa de descansar uns dias para recarregar baterias.
Nota: aaah, e para quem está a pensar pedir alguém em casamento, é lá. Tem um sitio que vão agradecer para a vida toda, ter dado nota! 😂

Excellent acceuil !!
Nous avons été très bien accueilli. La maison offre tout les équipements nécessaire. Il manque la climatisation et c'est assez bruyant mais tout le reste est parfait. Nous avons été heureux de rencontrer le papa de Pedro qui est adorable et Pedro à été très prevenant par téléphone . Merci pour tout!!

Desconexión perfecta
La casa acogedora y tal como se ve en las fotografías, una zona muy tranquila pero a la vez relativamente cerca de Lisbóa, otras poblaciones de interés.
Pedro Allfonso y su padre , en todo momento nos facilitaron la estancia y nos hicieron sentir en todo momento muy bien acogidos.
Grácias por todo

Isabel and his family were amazing and very friendly! It's an excellent group to host. In the end, they left the house very clean. I recommend them with no doubts and will also be a pleasure to host them again in the future!
About the host
Hosted by Pedro Afonso
Living in Lisbon for the past 6 years but coming to my hometown very often - Alcobertas, Rio Maior - where I have a house to host people that love nature! My father Fernando, that knows a lot about the history and geography of the region, helps me hosting. So far we hosted more than 600 guests!
Besides hosting people in our house, I also like to travel! So far I visited Belgium, Iran, France, Belarus, Spain, Romania, Ireland, Poland, England, Slovakia, Netherlands and Slovenia.
Why they chose this property
This is a rebuilt property of an old generation of our family. Today, we share some traditional features of the houses of this region in our lodging.
What makes this property unique
The place is unique because of the interior courtyard, a very nice fireplace and mini bar with liqueurs on the living room accompanied by smooth music!
