Birthe and Thorbjorn (Denmark)
March 2011
We spent 5 days here behind 'The blue door' on our tour from Denmark to Portugal and back.
The picturesque old stonehouse, the view and the surronding landscape, green and fertile are so beautiful. Not to mention the birds.
The small flat was just right for the two of us. The kitchen is very well equipped and cosy with the TV. the bed was excellent and we were thankful of the warm blankets. The lovely bright bathroom had a washing machine which we were very happy for. We think there is nothing lacking here. On the contrary. It is overwhelming so much extra you have put in the house to make your guests comfortable. Bedding, towels, milk in the fridge, food, books, dvd and videos. And it was all so clean and tidy.
We had a good time here and we feel we have met the most hospitable people ever.
Thank you for the talks, the spicy curry and the evening we spent together.
Thank you for help with the internet and for letting us use vegetables from your freezer - and the homemade jam. we loved it.
