We had a wonderful time at Joana's house. It was spotless, comfortable, cozy, and the view was spectacular! The pool is lovely although we did not get to enjoy it much since the weather was a bit chilly. We cooked in a couple of nights and the kitchen had everything we needed. Joana's mom greeted us upon arrival and could not have been nicer. She even left us some cheese, wine, chocolates, and a selection of fruits which was most appreciated since we were tired and hungry. The location was perfect, very close to Sintra, Lisbon, and little coastal towns nearby. We loved that we could just walk into Praia de Macas which had everything we needed; restaurants, coffee shops, beach, and little store.
I would absolutely stay at Joana's house again and highly recommend it to anyone else.
