There was tons of space for our group of 8, both indoors and outdoors, with lovely big tables on both sides of the house - one to the East for breakfast/sunrise and one to the West for dinner/sunset. The location is very quiet and remote, which was perfect for us, and the surrounding nature is lovely. The weather was a bit variable, but we did enjoy a few warm days on which we were able to make use of the pool. Most of the beaches are about 20 minutes away by car, but we managed to explore pretty much the whole coastline from the tip-off the Troia peninsula down to Melides during our week here. Lénia and Pedro were great hosts, who gave us lots of good recommendations and were super quick to answer whenever we contacted them.
