Magnífica estancia a un paso de Lisboa
Pros:

Su piscina, el patio trasero con su piscina y la zona de desayuno. El desayuno es impresionante mejor que el de muchos hoteles con bollería fresca traída por José de la panadería. La misma mañana con bizcocho hecho en casa Forester. José y Esther son los mejores anfitriones con los que me he encontrado. Nos recibieron con muchísima amabilidad y cariño. Nos dieron muchísima información sobre la zona y muchas recomendaciones magníficas. Totalmente recomendada la estancia con ellos. Repetiría sin dudarlo. Por poner una mínima pega la ducha no tragaba perfectamente la decoración muy bonita y la limpieza de 10. Además, nos recibieron con un detalle súper especial que se convirtió en una experiencia maravillosa.

Cons:

Me gustó todo

Pros:

Jose en Ester zijn erg gastvrij. We kregen het idee dat we bij vrienden op bezoek waren. Alles was schoon en een goed ontbijt. Jose is erg behulpzaam met de weg wijzen en uitleggen wat er overal te doen is. Hoe je ergens komt en ook weer terug komt. We kregen niet alleen tips over Lissabon maar ook over de rest van Portugal.

Maison avec extérieur de rêve, hôtes aux petits soins et de très bons conseils, à recommander!
Pros:

Nous avons eu un excellent accueil de la part de notre hôte malgré un arrivée un peu tardive.
Nous nous sommes retrouvé dans un endroit calme, relaxant et José nous a très bien conseillé pour tout ce que l'on avait à faire. Ses conseils m'ont été très précieux et le tout en français ce qui nous arrangeait bien.
Nous avons eu la chance d'être les seuls pour notre séjour, nous nous sommes sentis comme chez nous.
Son épouse nous a régaler avec de très bons petits déjeuners ( très copieux).

Great little place with friendly hosts!
Pros:

Jose and Ester answered all my questions. We kept in touch on WhatsApp. Jose was very helpful with local knowledge of where to eat and what to see. They changed breakfast for us to an earlier time as we were running the half marathon and even drove us to the start so we couldn't have asked for more! Breakfast was a buffet and had everything we needed with great coffee. Obrigada!

Fantastic location in a great town.
Pros:

My wife and I are now in love with Jose, in love with Ester, in love with Almada and had a wonderful weekend as their guests. The standard of the house is basic but fully functional and more than adequate, but what truly sets it apart is the passion of the owners.

Cons:

Not much.

Charming hosts in a fascinating part of Lisbon. Wonderful outside terrace. Lots of personality!
Pros:

The host was charming and very helpful. The outside space was lovely. The breakfast was delicious.

Cons:

I think the bedroom was a bit over perfumed. More fruit for breakfast. The shower disposal needs fixing. Hand towel in bathroom.
