Le Solar das Arcas est un lieu magnifique, un peu hors du temps. La vue, de partout (depuis le balcon, les fenêtres de l'hébergement, la cour, la piscine, le jardin), est à couper le souffle. C'est un endroit pour les amoureux du calme, de la nature, des beaux paysages, mais aussi des lieux chargés d'histoire.Nous avons été très bien accueillis par Maria Francisca et Lourenço, ainsi que par toutes les personnes présentes sur la propriété. Ce sont des hôtes attentionnés et attentifs. L'appartement était très propre, le jardin est vraiment beau (il y a par ailleurs un stationnement protégé) et nous avons eu la chance de pouvoir profiter de la grande piscine pour nous seuls. Nous avons passé une très belle semaine de vacances au Solar das Arcas et espérons avoir l'occasion d'y retourner !

Local calmo, com uma piscina partilhada mas muito agradável. Bem recebidos e sempre prestáveis a resolver qualquer problema que surgisse. Apartamento limpo e muito agradável. A internet não é de grande qualidade, não estando disponível dentro da habitação. Não tem máquina de lavar loiça como refere no anuncio.
