"Located in a fantastic river valley with a fascinating heritage of restored water mills, the house makes a great base for exploring the quiet northern part of the island. We enjoyed using one of the BBQs, and having ice cream from the shop next door was a treat. Highly recommended."

It is well situated and central to main highways and roads. António’s description of his house is completely accurate."

Hope to come back!"
