Alles OK. Das Ferienhaus ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Das Grundstück wunderschön. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Für ein Paar ist alles wunderbar. Bei mehr Personen könnte es schwierig werden. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet. Leider kein Restaurant und keine Einkaufsmöglichkeit in fußläufiger Entfernung.

Peacefull on a ridge
Lovely authentic house. With excellent facilities. Lovely terrace where you canhave your breakfast. Lovely viewd on Lissabon in the distance and on ntural park and the Palmela castle. On 10 minutes wall you will find ruins from late stoneage, roman era and moorish era. The first neighbour is a 20 minutes walk and is bakery Juliao who has delicious sandwiches chorizo and bread from a real brick oven.... oven.
