Lots of car noise, late night parties, discos and music bars! NOT! This was a perfect location to unwind and escape the rat race long warm days by the lake just what was needed, the house came fully equiped. I have ever used abroad almost akin to your own spice and equipment wise, very easy to find (did have my doubts) but instructions where spot on, supermarket (Continente) is easy to find you simply follow the road to Tomar and there it is around a 10 min drive and very reasonably priced. A deffinat must is a visit to the Castle in Tomar it is with out doubt superb.

The lakes where really nice to swim in and a really nice spot, the water is clean and cool the Dam is also worth a visit.

All in All a very nice place to stay in deed nothing like watching the sun go down in the garden chairs with a glass of wine. I did wonder who the fool beeping his horn was every day, I didn't realise till the last day it was the bread van! So when you hear it, it stops just a little further down from the cottage so pop down and buy some bread we missed this experiance, ah well there is always next time, Would we go back here........ ABSOLUTLY, without a doubt.
