"É a minha segunda vez no Monte do Giestal, mas tal como na primeira, uma estadia prolongada de 5 dias. Tudo é bom aqui, desde as amplas e equipadas casas, super confortáveis, ao espaço exterior, sossego, comida entregue a porta de casa pelas sempre atenciosas funcionárias que não deixam que falte nada. Mais, venho com o meu cão, de porte grande, e também ele adora o Monte. Tem bastante espaço para correr livremente e é muito bem recebido. "

"This property is a hidden gem. You walk through the doors and walk into an oasis. Beautiful sitting area, lush plants and trees. The unit is perfect, clean and beautifully decorated. The host Francisco was so gracious, we arrived very early in Lisbon and he was able to give us access earlier than the check in time. He is also very helpful with restaurant suggestions. I HIGHLY recommend this property."

"Pros: A casa era mesmo muito boa e tudo funciona muito bem. 3 wcs completos 3 quartos fantásticos, uma sala grande como é necessário e boa tv e wi-fi. Sem muita decoração nem móveis a mais como se pretende numa casa de férias, tem tudo o q é preciso. A dona é super simpática e prestável, sempre disponível. A meu pedido arranjou até quem fosse fazer a limpeza ao fim de 1 semana que não deve ser fácil neste período. Cons: Apenas uma nota negativa: o meu aluguer foi de 15 dias e deveria contemplar...
