Eine wunderschöne Unterkunft in toller Lage. Conway und Natascha haben uns so herzlich aufgenommen und mit vielen Tipps und Angeboten versorgt. Auch das Team war super. Diese Unterkunft kann ich wärmsten weiterempfehlen!

Man sollte sich darauf einstellen, dass die Unterkünfte (ich denke das ist aber überall so) im Bad keine Heizung haben.

Do jardim.

Chuveiro parou de fornecer água no meio do banho, em pleno inverno, muito frio, mas muito frio. FOI muito desagradável. Tampa do vaso sanitário desgastada, precisando ser trocada, box do banheiro extremamente sujo, sem shampoo ou amenidades Tv não funcionava, em plena Copa do mundo gostaríamos de ter assistido aos jogos. Não tinha secador de cabelo. O aquecimento do chalé era a gás e não podia ficar ligado a noite, portanto não tínhamos um ambiente aquecido a noite toda. As grandes janelas de vidro deixavam o quarto ainda mais frio.

Highly recommended.

Everything was great. The welcome was warm and friendly. Hosts were super informative and helpful. They were determined to ensure that we had the best time and gave thoughtful and useful advice about where to go and how best to get there. Room was well appointed and furnished. Beds were comfortable and the breakfasts were good.

Only issue that we had was caused by the extremely cold weather conditions - water pipes froze overnight and we could not have hot showers in the morning. But hosts were helpful and considerate and it was not long before the pipes thawed.
