We had a great week in this beautiful house which is even better than the photos show it. Very nice owner Sofia, easy & quick to communicate with, the house is well equipped and big, the garden is beautiful and the pool nice to get refreshed and to enjoy the sun. Also the region is nice and offers lots of nice beaches, beautiful nature and good food without too many tourists

Grande maison agréable pour un séjour en famille
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans la maison qui est très spacieuse. Sofia nous a très bien accueilli. Les équipements pour bébé (chaise haute, lit) nous ont été utiles. L'environnement est également très agréable, dans la vallée du Lima. Seul petit bémol, certains équipements commencent à dater un peu (baignoire, frigo, rideaux,...), mais ça n'a pas posé de problème.

Fim de semana a repetir
Zona magnífica, com uma vista soberba, as refeições realizadas naquela sala, superavam o nosso apetite gastronómico.
Não menos importante, a simpatia da Sofia logo na nossa chegada, levou-nos de imediato, que iríamos ter um fim-de-semana a repetir....

Très bon séjour !
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour entre amis, la maison est très bien située et est très propre. La piscine est aussi très agréable et est clôturée, très pratique quand il y a des enfants en bas âge. Petit bémol : il n'y a pas de climatisation et cela aurait été plus qu'appréciable lorsque la température est montée à plus de 37 degrés ou voir pour mettre des ventilateurs à disposition dans chacune des chambres; Le descriptif des chambres n'est pas tout à fait correct : dans les chambres "familiales", ce ne sont pas des canapé lits mais des matelas 1 personne.

Um fantástico fim de semana
Os três dias passados nesta propriedade foram excelentes. A proprietária foi, desde logo, e durante toda a estadia, muito simpática e sempre muito disponível. A casa está muito bem equipada, a piscina é fantástica e a zona da churrasqueira fez as delícias de todos. É uma casa muito indicada para se passar uns belos dias em família ou com amigos.
