Idyllic break from the hustle and bustle
This nice annex (to the main house) was ideal for our family of four to wind down after 4 days in Lisbon. Marco & Charlotte were very welcoming and provided thoughtful little extras like tea bags, a few herbs etc and tea towels to make life easier, especially being nicely away from it all. The kitchen is very well equipped with utensils (though the dishwasher wasn't working when we visited - soon to be fixed !) and there is a washing machine in the village €4 a wash. Everything was spotlessly clean throughout with lovely crisp bed linen.
The area may be less visited than others but Reliquias is a beautifully kept village with lots of smiling locals returning our greetings. You can buy bread and fish from visiting vans at good prices.
Very well designed swimming pool, our grown up children played in it like little kids and dad was able to get the lengths in. A table tennis table, trampoline and football goals all available along with a short walk up to seats on the hillside opposite to watch the sunset.
Recommend the Onda restaurant a 2 minute walk round the corner for really good value, simple but plentiful food, served with a lot of smiles and patience at our scrambled translations! (Meal for 4 with drinks and deserts for €60)
