This was one of our favorite places we stayed in Portugal. The lady who runs this is absolutely wonderful (as well as her pet goat and dogs). She even makes a lovely homemade breakfast, by request, for only 6€ a person. In the morning, we could smell her homemade bread baking. The suite we stayed in had a full kitchen, a super comfortable bed, nice bathroom and a beautiful balcony with a view of the hills. The property is very quiet and located in such a peaceful area. If we ever go back to Portugal, we are staying at this ranch again.

Amazing place in the hills. Small villages closeby. The accomodation has a pool and good wifi. It has place for just a few people so no concern about overcrowded places. The owner is really nice and helpful. She has sweet dogs and a goat who thinks she is a dog. Very sweet.
