Where do I start, the house is fabulous, it's never ending, there are so many rooms and the gardens are fantastic. It's a little out the way but not too far, the walk into the village is about 20 minutes and downhill, there are plenty of taxis in the village and it's about 4€ back to the house. The village was great, all the people were very friendly and it was extremely cheap for food and drinks. Back to the house, amazing court yard, Geese, peacocks, hens, etc running about it the back, unfortuately the weather was not great so we only got to use the pool one day but the scenery, history and setting is out of this world. Couldn't have asked for better hosts than Joao and his father who were both great, really friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Special thanks to Joao who arranged loads of taxi's for us (we're were in Potugal for the FIFA nations tournemount) he is great. Would I stay here again? Yes most definitely, in fact I think were going to come back again next year, it truly was a great experience, thank you very much for allowing us to use your magnificent house, really enjoyed it.
