Tranquil Getaway

Excellent accommodation for holidays in the interior of the country. Near Ferreira do Zêzere, next to the Castelo do Bode dam. House with 3 excellent bedrooms where 6 people stayed with maximum comfort. Accessible internet for everyone. A paradise, where rest and tranquility is the most evident factor. Congratulations on the excellent hosting.

The house is a little gem, right by the river side in less than three minutes walk. Swimming in the river was great, there are several other activities possible there in the months of July and August. The house is extremely well equiped, the kitchen has absolutly everything you might need and that terrasse is wonderful --- but the lighting outside needs to be reviewed as it's hardly enough if you want to eat out at night. Only minus point would be one of the bathrooms that was out of order. Be aware that the closest supermarket is a good 20 minutes away...

We had an absolutely delightful week. The house is very spacious and has a beautiful terrace. You can find more than everything you could need to cook in the kitchen and there are plenty of towels, linen etc. The house was clean and the bedrooms cooled down quickly. We were met by the agent on arrival and shown to the house. There was a problem/misunderstanding with the internet connection and the owner solved it very generously. He came the next day and brought us a laptop with mobile broadband connection to keep for the week so we would be connected. It helped us tremendously because we had to make appointments for an upcoming move. Many thanks again! The only downside was that we didn't think the chairs on the terrace were very comfortable. The view is beckoning for some lounge furniture.

Beautifully restored house in a small hilltop village. There is plenty of outside patio space overlooking a scenic river. Even though it is a compact village, it feels very private and we rarely saw anyone else and felt as though we had the town to ourselves. There are only homes and a church in the village, with a small grill on the edge. Groceries and petrol are several miles away but the roads are good and divided highways are easy to reach. You will definitely require a car and GPS is recommended. The house is on 3 levels with stairs. There are no bedrooms on the entry level so it is not a place for the mobility impaired. Also, the living room is upstairs with a fairly short railing (by US standards) so watch the kids and elderly. There are 3 bedrooms with 3 bathrooms attached- perfect for "non-family" groups. The owner and property manager could not have been easier to work with. They provided great prearrival information and met us at the house when we arrived. Contact the owner for additional photos, if desired.

We absolutely LOVED our stay at your home! Dornes is SUCH a magical and special place!!! We will be back and the home was just marvelous! Thank you!
