Très belle maison dans un site remarquable

Nous avons passé 10 jours très agréables dans cette maison. Elle est très confortable et parfaitement équipée. Tous les équipements mis à disposition (notamment la climatisation) fonctionnent parfaitement. Le site de Dornes est tout à fait exceptionnel et idéalement placé au coeur du Portugal. La beauté des paysages et la richesse des sites dans un rayon de 80 km en font un point dedépart parfait pourles excursions et visites. merveilleux endroit !!

Delightful week

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.
