Great place to stay to get a feel for being a local - nice coffee shop down the street - great corner store and restaurant - Geographia. A bit of a walk to the train, but the bus is quite close. Apartment slept three comfortably and was clean and well appointed.

We had a wonderful stay at Casas Do Olival. It was quiet, comfortable, and in a wonderful neighborhood, local La Boulangerie was a big plus, in addition there is the river within walking distance. The apartment was also well stocked. I have to create a special paragraph for the following as though the property was great what was even more wonderful was the support we received from Sima at Casas do Olival throughout our stay that truly made our introduction to Portugal the best possible experience. My wife's luggage was lost at the airport which meant we had a super later check in time and Sima was with us, supportive, friendly, and flexible, to make sure we were able to arrive and get settled. Throughout our stay, Sima not only provided continued support around this but she even gave great advice on access to local shopping, restaurants, etc. Even when we didn't get our luggage during our stay Sima continued to be friendly and supportive throughout. I would rate our experience at Casas Do Olival a 10 out of 10, and would give Sima an 11 if I could. Thank you again Sima and Casas Do Olival. We would definitely return.

We loved our stay at Casas do Olival! Our host was super nice and friendly and super accommodating! She made our stay so smooth and enjoyable. She responded very quick to any questions we had. And there was a great cafe just down the block that we really enjoyed! Overall great experience and would book again!
