An Excellent Village House
Great vllage house with full amenities incl terrace and swimming pool, wonderful & warm host. Great value! Thanks Alexandra. The only 1 thing that bordered me staying there is that there are so many flies around and they get into the house easily. We had to constantly guard against them during meals.

Uma casa tranquila
Fomos à procura de tranquilidade e foi o que encontrámos. Apesar de se situar em Terrugem parece que estamos no meio do campo! Uma casa em que nada falta, muito bem equipada e tudo de qualidade! Recomenda-se ;) Ana
