Really loved our stay. Beautiful rural location, lovely accommodations. Hosts were fantastic, provided useful information. Small issues with the shower head not fitting on the hold bar and one bedroom not really cooling at night.

This was one of our favorite places we stayed in Portugal. The lady who runs this is absolutely wonderful (as well as her pet goat and dogs). She even makes a lovely homemade breakfast, by request, for only 6€ a person. In the morning, we could smell her homemade bread baking. The suite we stayed in had a full kitchen, a super comfortable bed, nice bathroom and a beautiful balcony with a view of the hills. The property is very quiet and located in such a peaceful area. If we ever go back to Portugal, we are staying at this ranch again.

Amazing place in the hills. Small villages closeby. The accomodation has a pool and good wifi. It has place for just a few people so no concern about overcrowded places. The owner is really nice and helpful. She has sweet dogs and a goat who thinks she is a dog. Very sweet.
