Just had an amazing holiday at the Refuge- setting is just breathtaking- Mountain Views everywhere. And I must say our host Ema was brilliant, very responsive to questions, took a call from us at 11pm to guide us as we were not sure we were on the right way and sorted a washing machine issue within 24 hours! Thank you very much Ema!

Dieses Haus ist ein idealer Ort, um abseits des Trubels Ruhe und Entspannung in landschaftlich schöner Umgebung zu finden. Es eignet sich auch prima als Startpunkt für Wanderungen, die Startpunkte der meisten in diversen Führern beschriebenen Wanderungen (Levadas u.a.) sind alle in kurzer Zeit mit dem Auto erreichbar (15 bis maximal 60 Autominuten). Da wir im November gebucht hatten, waren wir sehr froh um den Holzofen, mit dem wir das große Wohnzimmer gemütlich heizen konnten. Um diese Jahreszeit wäre es ansonsten manchmal recht kühl bei gleichzeitig hoher Luftfeuchtigkeit, eine weitere Heizung existiert nicht. Im Sommer ist das Haus vermutlich sehr angenehm, wenn es draußen recht heiß ist. Die Hausherrin hat uns mit selbstgebackenem Kuchen empfangen (lecker) und auf Rückfragen schnell reagiert. Wir haben die Zeit sehr genossen.
