Fantástico
A casa e contexto em que está inserida é absolutamente fantástico e tem tudo o que uma família pode querer para descansar, relaxar, passear, brincar e refrescar. Fomos 3 adultos, 3 teenagers e uma cadela e ficámos todos rendidos.
Sem dúvida a repetir!

A paz do monte
Adorámos este lugar magnífico, onde dá para desfrutar o quase silêncio da natureza. Tanto o nascer como o pôr de sol podem ser apreciados logo ali, a escassos metros da porta entrando no maravilhoso jardim. A cascata com a pequena piscina é uma verdadeira delícia nos dias de calor. A casa em geral e a cozinha estão muito bem equipadas, oferecendo todo o conforto, apenas faltando talvez um forno para a preparação de determinados pratos. A vista da paisagem com a barragem do Alqueva aos pés é única. Temos a constante sensação de estarmos inseridos numa imagem dum postal. E os nossos cães também adoraram!
