Patio da Memoria

Marta is really lovely and welcoming. Besides waiting for us to arrive at night with a big smile, she had a nice bottle of wine and some cheese out for us. The location is conveniently between Azeitao and Palmela. The neighbours and people at the restaurants in the area we visited are all really friendly and accommodating. Marta recommended some nice places to eat and we went to Dona Isilda (pics attached) where for 25 euros you can from a massive Portuguese buffet and drink house wine, beer, and tea / coffee. Also, a short walk from her house is a churrasceria for tasty grilled meats and friendly staff whose main clientele seem to be the people living in the area. For me, it's always niece to have a pleasant authentic experience in a new country.

What I would do to improve the property: 1) add mosquito netting so as to get a more restful sleep 2) add a ceiling fan in the smaller room, maybe even the big room 3) There was indeed a sufficient number bedroom pillows, but slightly larger ones would make them more comfortable. 4) A sofa with a higher back rest would also add some comfort, especially after a long, hot day.

Very clean and detailed apartment. Friendly staff. Amazing cheese and welcome wine :)

It's a quaint old house. It has what you need for self catering. The owner's assistant was very helpful. She met us at the house to let us in, and then brought us wood for the fire each evening, which was much appreciated as the house is very cold.The wine and cheese left for us was a very nice touch. The location, although quite built up, is good for accessing local places of interest.

Confusion over the parking. We were expecting private off road parking, but despite having a parking space (which we used) the parking was in the road opposite the house, which apparently they own, but we saw used by other cars, two nights out of the three. Really didn't appreciate being disturbed and being asked to move our car into the road on our last night there, as it would be "dangerous" for users of their other holiday houses, who weren't actually arriving for another two days.

We loved the village setting, very close to the Neolithic antiquities site. Cafes, restaurants, pharmacy, adegas (wineries) galloped all within walking distance. The terrain is spectacular. All within 15 minutes of Setubal, Palmela and Azeitao. Local people are friendly and helpful. Landlords are outstanding.

Cleaning after one's dog in Portugal is not common.

The owner was very friendly, greeted us with wine, the location is great, the house was clean. Absolutely loved it!
