Casa Monchite

La casa es muy grande pero tiene demasiados artículos personales y el mobiliario es muy antiguo. La nevera no estaba limpia y estaba bastante estropeada tanto estèticamente como la goma de cierre de la puerta. La casa olía a cerrado y a humedad. Considero que no es una casa apropiada para alquilar.

É a primeira vez que tenho hóspedes que não gostam da casa e do seu charme. A casa não tem nem nunca teve humidade. O frigorífico está de facto um pouco velho e será mudado.

Casa tranquila no campo

Gostámos da estadia por se tratar de uma casa localizada numa zona calma e com bons espaços para receber um grupo grande (por exemplo sala com mesa de refeições grande). Trata-se de uma casa antiga de família, tal qual como se encontra nas imagens e como foi descrito pela proprietária. Poderia apenas existir mais algum cuidado nalguns pormenores, como a qualidade das roupas da cama. Mas nada de mais. No geral, avaliamos a estadia como positiva.

Una casa con encanto

Hemos estado una semana en agosto. La casa al ser antigua tiene mucho encanto, pero tal vez ya hay algunos aspectos que necesitan reformarse. La ubicación está muy bien en mitad del monte, pero hay que tener en cuenta que es un poco solitaria. Sin emargo están cerca ciudades muy intetesantes. En general ha sido una estancia muy especial.

We were encouraged to make ourselves at home, so we did!

This was a great place for us to stay as a family. There was plenty of room for three couples, two singles and a baby and we loved the authentic feel of the house. We had some great meal times on the balcony or when it was too hot there, around the large dining table. We even used the barbecue. The kitchen was well equipped though the gas oven took time to heat. Loads of pots, pans, plates, glasses etc and the dishwasher and washing machine worked hard all week. We had a great holiday altogether. Tomar is well worth a visit, Nazaré north beach was an hour away. We found the water at Agroal a little cold despite the hot weather, but we enjoyed a good dip even so.

Pour un séjour découverte du Centre Portugal

Maison à la fois rustique et authentique de la vie rurale portugaise, pour famille ou entre amis. Confort basique de la literie et des salles de bain, pouvant être amélioré. L' environnement calme et apaisant permet d'affronter tous les jours les nombreux sites touristiques majeurs assez proches. Un bon rapport qualité /prix, avec un excellent accueil.

Big house with atmosphere

We spent five lovely days in this very charming family home. The house is very big and labyrinthic, with several baths and sleeping rooms for lots of persons. It feels very much like the "real Portugal". Maria is a very friendly hostess. She is communicative, and she cares for you. There are nice tracking opportunities in the forests around. Only drawback is the narrow road outside - it is very little trafficked, but when cars come, they come fast, so you have to watch your kids - but there are solutions with a gate for keeping the smallest in. This is very good value for your money, and we give our fullest recommendations.

To recommend

"A very atmospheric, big family house situated in a quiet place sheltered from any noise of passing cars or trains. The interiors resemble a labyrinth of many rooms and passages and transport you back in time to the begginings of the XX century, but the house has all the comodities you need for a short stay. The owner is very nice and friendly, we had absolutely no problem in communicating."

"Excelente casa de férias, para quem procura a beleza, a calma e o silêncio do interior português. Combina a tranquilidade do campo e da serra com a proximidade de cidades como Tomar, Ourém, ou mesmo Fátima. A casa é uma típica casa familiar antiga, muito bem equipada e com uma atmosfera bastante peculiar. Destaca-se ainda a simpatia e hospitalidade dos proprietários. Altamente recomendável."

Un''autentica villa tradizionale molto grande e comoda, calda e accogliente, con giardino, balconi e posti macchina. I proprietari sono gentilissimi e disponibili.
