We enjoyed our stay very much and the cottage, private garden and shared pool were exceptional.However, it would have been helpful, having arrived tired, late, all shops closed , without provisions to have a starter/welcome pack. A little tea, coffee & milk to tide us over - till we could find a shop the following day, would have been much appreciated. Unfortunately the Air Con machines didn’t work and it was very warm. We had to purchase a fan, which of course we had to leave due to flying, until the engineer came a day or two later. Despite these issues - it’s a beautiful cottage in a charming setting and makes a good base for sightseeing in northern Portugal. ##### Christopher B.

La casa do forno est idéale pour deux couples d’amis comme nous ou même une famille (chacun sa salle de bains grâce à la deuxième chambre séparée). La piscine est magnifique et souvent libre car il y a peu de logements dans le domaine. Nous recommandons à 100% ce logement ! ##### Emma B.

Wunderschöne Räumlichkeiten, toller Garten, herrliche Außenanlage mit großem, sauberen Pool. Der Spielsalon mit Billiard, Tischtennis und Kicker ist großartig. Das WLAN hat nicht ausreichend funktioniert, für uns war es aber nicht so wichtig. Wir kommen gerne wieder, es war wirklich besonders. ##### Katrin F.

A casa é muito espaçosa e confortável. Amámos o jardim privado, onde desfrutámos de refeições ao ar livre! O espaço da piscina é maravilhoso. A quinta seja composta por 4 casas, todas tem a sua privacidade o que é muito agradável. Desfrutámos de uns dias maravilhosos! Um bem haja à D. Luísa pela sua simpatia e atenção. ##### Marta D. ---
