Casa Cavalo Branco

"We stayed with Joanie & Greg while we were house hunting in the area, and they were the loveliest hosts. Their loft apartment was roomy yet cozy, beautifully decorated, with no detail or convenience overlooked. And we slept like logs...the property is so quiet! We paid extra for the AM breakfast basket, which included farm-fresh eggs and delicious home-baked muffins. Yum!

We were sad to leave, but now that we've bought property in the area, we'll continue our friendship!"

Dennis & Sarah, Carmel, CA, U.S.

"A charming and great place! The first night, you'll feel like a special guest. After two or three, you may feel like your hosts are old friends. The house is beautiful and decorated with a unique and tasteful collection of different types of art from many places, including amazing photographs created by one of the owners. The home is an easy drive to Lisbon (or train) for day trips while allowing you to enjoy a quiet atmosphere after your time in the bustling city. The home is in a perfect location if you want to explore Santarém and other places in the Tagus Valley. I highly recommend the accommodation for its decor and the warmth of the hosts!" MJ, NH, U.S.
