Pera da Serra - Turismo no Espaço Rural

The views are outstanding and the sunsets are spectacular. The place is really quiet. The staff is nice and friendly and try to help you in any way they can (although on weekends there is no one there). Everything is extremely clean. The property and apartment are beautifully designed (which regarding the latter does not necessarily mean comfortable). The kitchen has everything you need but a washing machine (although there is one on the property that it seems can be used if required). We did not have any of the issues about electricity mentioned by other comments and power worked seamlessly (providing you do reasonable use of it).

The T0 is tiny and has serious accessibility issues to the upper floor. Besides, the road to get to the property is narrow and steep (not for all kinds of drivers). Regarding the T0, it is not indicated that it is distributed on two levels. The bedroom is upstairs, and you have to literally climb some very complicated stairs (even for a young person; you can fall to the floor below - see attached photo). Once upstairs, the ceiling is too sloping and low (in the Booking photos looks higher), especially on the right side of the bed, where it is a challenge not to hit your head against the ceiling. Logically, the heat accumulates at the top and to get a normal temperature to sleep upstairs, the downstairs gets cold (with the consequent energy expenditure, contrary to the spirit of the house). Besides, this apartment is tiny. An example: there is not a single closet or even a small space (a drawer, a clothes hanger) where to leave your stuff. If you go for several days, your suitcases will end up on the terrace or tripping over them with all your clothes inside. It is very uncomfortable. Less importantly, the terrace (which in itself is spacious) has on one of its sides the air conditioners of the property, so there is usually a noise that breaks the peace of the place (other apartments do not have that problem). About the road: the last kilometers to get to the property are incredibly narrow (only one car can enter, even though it is a two-way road, with practically no spaces to move aside); there is also a point of dirt that can get slippery and a couple of complicated turns for a big car. From our point of view, not recommended for inexperienced drivers on similar roads. Google Street View only covers the "best portion". All of this together made for a disappointing and uncomfortable stay, although other guests in other types of accommodations may have had better experiences.
