“Fomos muito bem recebidos pelo Sr. Evaristo. O alojamento é muito limpo e está bem localizado. Gostamos de tudo, principalmente da decoração que mistura moderno com antigo com harmonia. Vários pormenores que marcam a diferença: almofadas e colchões de qualidade superior, lençóis de banho com um cheiro floral agradável, sumo de laranjas da horta, entre outros. Recomendamos sem dúvidas.”
