Beautiful Bocado charmer
We had a wonderful stay in this beautifully maintained, very clean property in Bocado near Arganil. The view from the backyard was spectacular. The house suited our family just great. There were many fun things to do nearby such as swim in the river, eat at good restaurants, and visit the beautiful Bucaco reserve. Jane was very helpful and welcoming. The place is at least as nice as all the pictures. The beds are very firm and the TV is pretty small, however, these things were minor compared to the beauty and peacefulness of the place. Highly recommended!
