Everything from the house, the surroundings, the garden, the view from the house. Its a really peaceful and private location. Ferreira do Zezere (the vilage) is very close by, around 6 mins by car. There are also plenty of supermarkets close by.

Location ( great view on the lake), lay out and decoration of the house, equipment

Everything !!!

Ficámos surpreendidos com a limpeza do local e a simpatia e disponibilidade dos donos do local.

We liked it very much. Wendy and her husband are very kind and nice people. The swimming pool is awesome and the room is very comfortable.

I suspect the owners of this apartment have inherited lots of furniture from relatives, which they can't bear the thought of parting with, as the apartment is stuffed with old heavy dark wood furniture. What's nice about it that in each of the bedrooms the suites are different and they were obviously quality items in their time - solid wood with nice finishing touches to the bed-heads and wardrobes. I loved it, taking me back to my childhood, and am pleased that rather than being thrown on the rubbish dump, they have been given a new lease of life as well as giving the younger generation a feel of what it was like living in their grandparents' time! The apartment is very spacious with a large sitting area and a decent sized kitchen area which had most things one needs for a short stay. One thing I found odd (and not only here but many places in Portugal) was that a coffee machine was provided (but you have to have the right capsules to use it) but no kettle! The bed was fine and the linen acceptable (and fine given the price) and the water was piping hot. Internet was a bit of a problem. In the living area I could only get an unsecured line which was very slow - the recommended wifi wouldn't connect. I discovered eventually that at the end of the second bedroom (above the cafe) the secured connection worked fine. There is a large roof terrace with a couple of tables and chairs and this is great as it manages to get the sun from the morning through till sunset. So if you are an outdoors person, like me, then you are in seventh heaven with sunshine for both breakfast and drinks in the evening. The position of the apartment is great. The cafe/restaurant downstairs has odd hours - it only opens at 11am and closes at 2am, which seems very peculiar for such a small place. The food is good and inexpensive. For those rising earlier there is an excellent bar/cafe a stroll down the hill with a very well stocked small supermarket opposite.

Breakfast is fantastic. Very quiet place. Staff super friendly.
