    Helena is just lovely! She was always helpful and nice to us. The house is big, there is a parking spot. Helena even proposed she do laundry for us and iron our clothes. The room is cleaned every day. Big kitchen, breakfasts are simple but good.

    Cozy home in Sao Vicente valley! Breakfast included and Helena offered to do our laundry. There was a shot of wine as a greeting. The room was cleaned every day! We had a bath in our bathroom!

    I was welcomed in a very enthousiastic heart warming way. I burned my face in the sun and Helena right away gave me sunscreen for the following days. In general I felt welcome and comfortable at the very first second.
