A dona Laurinda faz lembrar a minha querida avó instalações limpas e valor justo um lugar que nos lembra as raízes do Alentejo...um bem haja
Um sítio numa aldeia maravilhosa ideal para quem procura o sossego e ao mesmo tempo estar perto de praias.
A anfitriã foi espetacular no sentido de alargar o horário de check in. Quarto suficientemente espaçoso. Tudo limpo. Há estacionamento perto do alojamento. Zona muito movimentada em termos de carros e o isolamento para o ruído não é o melhor.
C'est un hostel, pas un hôtel cinq étoiles. Ceci dit, le lieu est propre et bien situé. Et la patronne super sympa. On est en randonnée sur la Rota Vicentina et elle a accepté de nous redéposer à Moinhos do paneiro, où nous avions quitté le sentier hier (environ 6 kilomètres de route). Vraiment très sympa et accueillant !
Very clean place, old house atmosphere. Lovely hostess! It seemed authentic and true . I totally recommend it !
