Testimonials
The owner speaks English fluently and is a charming person. The villa is a real jewel; spacious, extremely clean and very well equipped (you will even find a Wii Box in the living room). You will find a large supermarket few kilometres away. Would highly recommend; it is the ideal spot to relax and enjoy the area.

The owners speak good French and good English. They will be very helpful, before and after on your arrival (if necessary)!! They are very nice, answering all our questions and making sure we were satisfied. The villa was spacious (we were six but it can be for 10 persons!!). It is very clean and very well equipped. What a very good holidays!!
Arnaud, France
Just stayed at the delightful Casa do Forno for a week - Fabulous accommodation, wonderful hosts, and beautiful weather - Couldn’t have wanted more! There is plenty to do and see in the area and experience the local good quality restaurants and cafes. Very reasonably priced! The accommodation provided an oasis of peace and tranquillity. The beds are extremely comfortable and the air con was a welcome! Would highly recommend to anyone wanting either a short break or longer to get away from it all, relax and enjoy this beautiful part of Portugal.
