Decoração, cheiro muito agradável, paisagem e conforto

Os acessos são complicados

Location in a quiet village, by the church. Very clean.

Ubicación inmejorable. Paulo muy atento y nos regaló una botella de vino!

No apto para personas con movilidad reducida.

Nice owner, he send someone to give us the keys and to explain the surroundings. He called us to ask if we needed something and if our stay was good or what could be improved. We told him that we didn’t enjoy the bed and he said that we weren’t the first mentioning that. The mattress was new, he said, but he considered to buy another one since more people didn’t like it. The stove is modern and works well.

The bed was not good. The mattress let us feel every spring and the duvet was filled with feathers, which is a no go for me, hygienically and in terms of cruelty. Upon my request we also got an extra bed, because the 1,40m is too small for us as a couple and a little kid. Our kid is used to sleep in the family bed, so the plan was that the father sleeps in another bed. But that extra bed was much too short and uncomfortable, so we all slept in the 1,40m bed. The pillows were also from poor quality, unfortunately. In the kitchen there was nearly no daylight, because another house is very close to the window. So there is a need to use the lamp, wich is just a very bright bulb on a cable and doesn’t give any nice atmosphere. For heat in the kitchen there is a fireplace but you need to pay 5.- for a few logs of firewood. There was no cutting board and no bread knife. The only more sharp knife is small. For cooking we found some salt and oil, any spices you need to bring along. The shower is ok but the shower head also needs a replacement, the silver paint peels off and i got cut by holding it while showering. There was a need to hold it because there is only one place to fix it at the wall and it is quite high and didn’t work out for me. The provided soap is also not very nice, i would recommend to bring your own. By the pictures we thought that there was a yard with a playground right at the house, so we chose this place for mainly that reason. But the playground is actually a public place with some distance to the house.
