Muito bem localizado, perto dos acessos às zonas que queríamos visitar e realizar algumas atividades. Adorámos a aldeia e as pessoas de lá! De dia e principalmente à noite é bastante sossegado, o que permitiu um pleno descanso. A casa é comoda e bastante espaçosa. Experiência que pretendemos repetir. Não tenos nada a apontar. Obrigada. ##### Carla This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Idalina 3 Dec 2024 #### Férias Adorei a casa é muito acolhedora num sítio maravilhoso que vale a pena conhecer ##### Idalina ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lina A. 13 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Férias maravilhosas e Muito tranquila ##### Lina A.

Recomenda se : limpeza de exaustor, pois não puxa nada, máquina de lavar loiça com falta de sal e abrilhantador, TV um pouco com má sintonização. Não é crítica, mas sim observações na qual se resolvem facilmente. Para voltar. Gostamos muito. ##### Liliana M.

Não encontrei sacos do lixo, ou seja para 3 noites apenas existia 1 saco de lixo colocado no balde. Mas adoramos td. Estas criticas são positivas se voltarmos de certeza que vamos voltar para o mesmo sítio!!! ##### Carla ### 8/10 Good #### Lidia F. 29 Jul 2020 Liked: Cleanliness #### zona calma gostei bastante daquela zona, é muito calma, bonita e tem varias coisas tipicas da daquela zona, nomeadamente as casas feitas em pedra e paisagens lindas ##### Lidia F.
