Summary: This is a beautiful house with heated floors, a heated pool and a hot tub (and all 3 worked which isn't always the case with a rental). Our 9 year old loved the pool and slide, we all loved barbecuing on the outside fire (you need to go into town to get the briquets) and we loved the spacious well-appointed house. It's on a quiet country road on a tough to navigate turn, but once there it is a little slice of nice. It was central for us as we visited Sortelha, Fatima, the Schist Villages and a River Walk in the nearby mountains for some canyoneering. I could see this being a great chill house for a family reunion or trip.

Summary: We came back to Portugal after four years having spent many years on the Algarve and touring from the far North, through the centre and along the whole coast. We wanted to find a typical, unspoiled area this time and found this lovely villa near Penela. The location, surroundings and countryside are so beautiful and unspoiled. It is Portugal as we remembered it, near to so many lovely places, amazing beaches and fantastic restaurants. Prices are still very good and we had some lovely meals. A notable one at the little bar in the town near Dom Sesnando , on the corner, best meal goat in red wine, pork steaks, chips , carafe of wine and 2 beers, 18 euros. Family owned , very simple, perfect. We barbecued turbot , drank lots of wine, went to the winery in Penela which is also a museum for olive oil production. Worth a visit , tasting with local cheeses , hams and honey. Adelaide , the Manager went out of her way to help and advise us. We can’t wait to go back and sit by the gorgeous pool , sipping wine and listening to nothing but the wind in the pine trees. Your house is lovely Jean.

Summary: Great accommodations. Spacious and clean. The deck with hot tub and pool area was a great way to relax after a day of sight seeing. Check in process was lacking with no person available on sight and poor written instructions. In spite of this our stay was very comfortable. Would recommend.

Summary: The house and pool were wonderful for our family of grandparents parents and grandchildren. We had plenty of room for everyone the option for outdoor covered dining was a bonus. The market a short drive away made it convenient to purchase our groceries. The road up to the house is narrow but once there the views are amazing. The swimming pool was outstanding the temperature and buoyancy of the water a delight
