Casa do Rio - Countryside Villa
Overview
My house is a re-built from a 1900 Portuguese isolated rural house that I, and my husband, re-design with our humble skills. It rises in a quite and peaceful place near Lisboa (35km) within a Natural, Wine and Rural Reserve. Now, I will be pleased to share my house, in spring and summer time, with people who loves nature, animals and peaceful places and I want to share experiences. I like my Country and, more or less, I know many beautiful places and I can advise people. I love to share my passion to good literature, science, nature and music (I'm doing a Phd in Neuromusicology). I'm a Psychotherapist and I work in Lisbon. I live in the house alone (I've lost my husband meanwhile) during all year and when the weather allows (I mean: springtime and summer time, mainly )I usually share it with people who want to know the country and rest in a quite and peaceful place. My job is to assist and help those people in their stay here and in their travel plans around here or in the Country, even pick up them to the Airport some times. I was born in Cascais, a famous beach village and I live in here since 2004, near Arruda dos Vinhos, a Wine and Rural little village. Arruda stays between Cascais, Sintra, Lisbon, Estoril and the West coast (Óbidos, Mafra, Foz do Arelho, Foz do Lisandro, Alcobaça, Batalha, Leiria, Tomar), places full of historical heritage.
House Rules
I just rent the whole house; it's not a room rentals. So, can stay here 1 to 5 persons for the price of a room. People must understand that must pay the material they broke or so. They can enter and go as they wish, and, if they have no car, they must accept my ride and accept my schedule and leaving/coming hours. There are dogs and cats in this house who enters and go out freely. They are all gentle and humans friendly (but one of my dogs don't like other dogs). If people don't like animals, it's not the right place for them. This is a Natural wild place: loud noise it's not allowed. People who are not Nature-friends, are not welcome. People can smoke only in the garden. I'll do all the cleanings (but a lithe help it's always welcome, if people wants, of course! It's not a imposition/coersive rule). Living together (even for a few days) is an art; for that, people must respect the space and the others timing and personal way of been.
