The space: The house is completely new and fully equipped. The garden has a deck right outside the living room, easily accessible through glass doors. One of our main objectives when recovering the house was to maximise the flow between indoor and outdoor areas. There is a barbecue next to the wooden deck, with an outdoor dinning area for everyone to enjoy the amazing weather of Lisbon. You can get delicious meat to grill from the butcher, or fresh fish from the market, right on the main square, a 5 minutes walk from the house. We hope you will enjoy our garden too, with our tiny little plants and trees that we care for and wish to see grow season after season when returning to our home town for holidays.
Interaction with guests: I live with my family in Marseille, France, but my mother and my brother are still located in Costa da Caparica, a 10 minutes drive away. I will always be available over the phone, and my family or friends will be able to meet with you in case of an urgent need (lost keys, some issue in the house, etc). The meet and greet will be done by someone we trust, and who is always extremely helpful with our guests.
During the check-in you will need to present an ID for each person staying over, in order to comply with Portuguese law on hosting non-Portuguese nationals, similarly to what you would need to present when checking-in at a hotel (you can find more information here and here
We loved the very spacious and clean house with all the amenities but the best quality of it is it's location. It is in Trafaria, a small fisherman village where you can really feel and share the lifestyle of rural Portuguese with real authentic food but you are only across the river from Lisbon. Even if you don't have a car, a two minutes walk will get you on a ferry to Belem. I ate the best food of our Portugal trip in Trafaria's restaurants. (Piri Piri chicken is to die for)The communication with Nuno the owner and Nuno the host was really easy, I got a lot of info's way before my stay which is reassuring.Totally recommend.
Het huis is ruim en licht en ligt gunstig ten opzichte van wat kleine winkeltjes (supermarkt, bakker etc) en tov de boot naar Lissabon (die gaat maar 1 keer per uur dus dat moet je wel timen).
Het huis was heel netjes en prettig met voldoende servies en dergelijke. De kinderen vonden er zelfs wat spelletjes.
Je kan met de boot makkelijk naar Lissabon maar ook een Uber is niet duur (15 euro als het niet te druk is). een eigen (huur)auto kan je ook makkelijk bij het huis parkeren.
Niets dan lof..eigenaar bekommert zich om zijn gasten.... vlotte communicatie voor tijdens en na ons verblijf...top huisje...alles voorzien....stad en strand makkelijk bereikbaar...winkels en horeca om de hoek....leuke sfeer in Trafaria...hier kan je makkelijk meer dan een week een vakantie doorbrengen...
Very comfortable, well equipped home. Close to beaches and ferry to Belem. Good base to explore Lisbon and have some quiet beach time. Wonderful seafood restaurant short walk away.
We absolutely LOVED this property. My mother in law loved it so much she want to buy it haha. Nuno & Nuno weâre the best hosts weâve ever experienced. The communication from both of them made you feel like you knew exactly what you were doing and they were there to answer any questions at all hours. The second day we were there was Portuguese Motherâs Day and Nuno Luis was nice enough to drive us to a local market to grab flowers for my mother in law before she woke up, it was the most caring thing and his conversation and information about Portugal was amazing. The property itself was beautiful. Spacious, the kitchen is and girll outside is perfect if you want to spend a night in with the family. The markets and coffee shops around the corner have all your necessary items needed for your stay. The people that work in the plaza around the corner were some of the nicest people weâve ever met. The location and area was perfect for us being that Lisbon is so busy and touristy that having the property just a short drive, Uber or ferry away was so worth it. Also so close to some of the most beautiful beaches any of the 5 of us have EVER seen in all of our travels. Seriously if you are thinking about this property and want some welcoming people and quiet area to enjoy your vaction in. This is the one for you. We will plan to stay at this property again not if but WHEN we come back to visit. Thank you nunos!!!
La casa es muy bonita y esta muy bien situada tanto para ir a la playa como para visitar Lisboa. La persona que nos recibió como y el dueño han estado pendientes de nosotros en todo momento.
Die Vermietung hat problemlos geklappt. Nuno war ein sehr aufmerksamer Vermieter. Bereits vor unserer Anreise war er jederzeit sehr hilfsbereit und hat uns jede Frage zum Ferienhaus und zum Urlaubsort bereitwillig beantwortet. Das Haus war in einem super Zustand. Komplett neu renoviert und sehr groĂzĂŒgig eingerichtet. Es lag eine Mappe mit allen wichtigen Informationen bereit und Nuno hat auch immer wieder nachgefragt, ob auch alles in Ordnung ist. (Die VerstĂ€ndigung war immer auf Englisch.) Wir haben uns in dem Haus sehr wohl gefĂŒhlt.
Allerdings haben wir unterschĂ€tzt, dass wir fĂŒr unseren StĂ€dtetrip nach Lissabon doch immer sehr viel Zeit benötigt haben, um auf die andere Flussseite und nach Lissabon zu kommen. Die FĂ€hre fĂ€hrt auch nur ungefĂ€hr jede Stunde und abends darf man die letzte FĂ€hre auch nicht verpassen. DafĂŒr hat man aber bei jeder Fahrt mit der FĂ€hre und besonders abends einen wunderschönen Blick auf Lissabon. Da wir zu fĂŒnft unterwegs waren, konnten wir auch kein Taxi nehmen.
Trafaria ist ein kleines Fischerdorf. Wer Party möchte, ist hier nicht richtig. Wir haben leider in Trafaria nur eine Restaurant-Empfehlung von Nuno ausprobiert. Im Casa Ideal haben wir sehr gut gegessen. Es war ein sehr gemĂŒtlicher Abend.
Es gibt auch einige StrÀnde auf dieser Seite, die mit dem Bus (ca. 15 Min.) oder zu Fuà (30-40 Min.) zu erreichen sind. Am besten gefallen hat uns Praia de Sao Joao gefallen. Der Fussweg dorthin lohnt sich!
