  Fantastic place to stay

  We loved it here -- beautiful surroundings with quince trees, a grape arbor, old, thick walled Alentejo-styled houses, comfortably done to high standards. Our host, Graca was amazing -- we had no car and she happily drove us to dinner, to the start of our day's hiking, and more. We became friends, and because of her openness and generosity, learned much about current Portuguese life. This area of Portugal is lovely, with cork and olive farms, sheep in the meadows, and not far off, the wild Atlantic coast. This is rural accommodation -- dirt roads off dirt roads, so it's better to have a car.

  Vacaciones de cuento

  El trato ha sido exquisito, muy atentos. Todas las mañanas te dejan naranjas recién recogidas y pan casero. Las casitas son independientes, en medio de la naturaleza. Fuimos con dos perros y no hemos tenido ningún problema. Volveremos seguro. 100% recomendable.

  Be advised about access problems and initial deposit

  Disclaimer: this is a review of how the deposit is handled by the owner and problematic access to "Casas de Cerca". It is not a review about the property itself. - First of all, be advised that the owner will demand an advance deposit of the 50% of the cost of the stay and there is no cancellations or refund policy, which means you will never recover it. - Do not try to reach to the property if you don't have a 4x4. The owner will provide you with maps that look ok at first but are insufficient once you find yourself in a maze of mountain roads. - The property owner will insist 4x4 are not necessary but remember that if you have an incident with your (rented) car on a mountain road, no insurance company will cover it. - There is no telephone signal in the area so contacting the owner, as she suggests, to be guided to the property is pretty difficult. You will need to try a land line in one of the bars of the village. - Do not expect to find signals that indicate the directions to the property. There aren't any. The owner wants to keep the house's secret as part of their charm. Based on our experience, she achieves this pretty well. Due to the above circumstances we went through some very unpleasant situations and were not able to find the property. The distress caused made us not to try to go back again. If you dig in social media, you will find people in similar circumstances ours.
