TEA HOUSE GERÊS

Location

Beautiful view and very nice terrace. Nice hosts.

First, this is NOT a house. The downstairs is an apartment with a kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom, and it's nice for a couple or a small family. but the upstairs is like a hostel- there is a separate entrance and the stairs are outdoors. It's a balcony with four rooms and s shared outdoor bathrooms. that means that to go out of your upstairs room in the cold, you have to put a coat and shoes. Not suitable for big family who wants to be together in the same space. Second, the road to the house is super steep and narrow, we had a big car and we couldnt get down with it, that means we had to walk that really hard climb everytime we wanted to leave the house, which was very challenging, especially for my elder parents. Third, we are not a spoiled family, we go camping and travel a lot, but in this house all the beds were just TERRIBLE. Uncomfortable, squeaky, too small. we hiked during the days and it was harder without a good night rest. they definitely need to change the mattresses.

The property is very well located on top of a hill which has a fantastic view of the whole town. Garden is full of orange, lemon and lime trees. Hosts were so lovely, always happy to help with their knowledge and generosity. Rooms were spacious and very clean. Amazing terrace with quirky furniture!
