"Decent cottage like stay."

7.0

We stayed for two nights in mid March. Reminded me of an old cottage, games, a loft, everything mismatched, old (the shower stall could use an update), clean on surfaces like the toilet and sinks but dirt along edges. Nice outside patio with a great view and patio furniture. Not a bad location for driving to the lighthouse or down to the coastal towns. A couple of restaurants nearby. A bit tight getting into the driveway from a steep road. Had a washing machine and a rack to hang the clothes to dry outside.

Could be cleaner. Strangely there were no garbage bags provided and instructions ask that you take your garbage with you when you leave.

"Super view and very friendly and helpful host"

9.0

Superb view of the ocean from the terrace. Gabriel who met me to hand over the keys was extremely friendly and helpful and donated tangerines and from his next door veg plot sweet potatoes and cauliflower. There were a couple of neighbourhood cats which swing by for breakfast lunch and dinner. Very useful washing machine following 2 weeks in hotels.

Toilet seat was wobbly and shower cubicle needs sealing and shelves but these are minor things. The view is superlative.

"mooi huisje met prachtig uitzicht"

8.0

zeer vriendelijk man die uitleg kwam geven lekker vers fruit gekregen heel dichtbij een lekker restaurant en er is ook op wandelafstand (max 10 min stappen) een bakker waar je s morgens ook je koffie kan drinken en waar ze super lekker pastel de nata verkopen er is ook een zwerfpoes (die super lief is) wij hebben ze eten gekregen, want volgens ons heeft ze geen huisje meer (man die uitleg gaf zei dat ze nog baasje had, maar bij ons bleef ze 24/24 bij ons huisje, dus vermoeden we dat ze geen huisje meer heeft, want was echt wel slecht weer en s nachts kon ze bij ons ook niet binnen (ze sliep dan onder het terras)

Het bed viel ons iets tegen (niet zo breed als we gewoon zijn) en er was in de living ook niet echt een zetel om te relaxen buitenruimte was wel heel leuk, maar in december viel het weer daar beetje voor tegen

"Cute Cottage in the Campo"

8.0

Little self contained house with everything one could need for a longer stay. Lovely fresh flowers and fruit upon arrival, plenty of towels available.

The mattress for the double bed should maybe be replaced soon.

"Que desilusão, foi tudo mau!"

2.0

Vou tentar arranjar algo de positivo para esta reserva embora haja muito pouco a mencionar. As vistas são bonitas, quando não está nevoeiro, claro.

Esta propriedade deixou muito a desejar, desde o proprietário até às próprias condições do local. Para começar, a comunicação com o proprietário não acontece. Trata-se de um monólogo. Fiz várias perguntas antes da chegada, às quais nunca obtive resposta. Mandou-me mensagem mensagem no dia do check-in e nunca mais me respondeu a outras questões que foram surgindo, nomeadamente: a casa estava fria e dois dos aquecedores disponíveis não funcionavam; a água para tomar banho/lavar as mãos/lavar a loiça, ao fim do segundo dia de estadia começou a sair castanha e com vestígios de terrra; esquecemo-nos de uma escova de lavar os dentes elétrica, o proprietário enviou mensagem a informar, questionamos se existia possibilidade de envio pelo correio e nunca respondeu. A limpeza também deixou muito a desejar, existindo teias de aranha em todo o lado. Também recebemos a visita de muitos bixos nomeadamente, baratas, centopeias, bicha-cadela e ratos. O acesso à propriedade com carro pode ser desafiante, pois é muito íngreme. A casa é fria (viajámos em outubro), as camas são desconfortáveis (colchão muito mole) e as escadas de acesso ao quarto superior são muito estreitas e íngremes.
