“Ralph, a short note of thanks and appreciation for yours and Stuart’s generous assistance at this testing time. Your inputs, assistance and offer of participation in the long haul solution was greatly appreciated. As a small token of thanks please treat Ana and yourself to a meal and a glass or two on us. Best wishes”
Red, Philip, Fergus, Brian, Bren & Dennis, Ireland – April 2010 – Casal de Sta Maria – Group stranded in Portugal due to the volcanic ash incident. They were only charged at cost (non-profit) for the 4 extra nights’ accommodation.
“The 11 members of the extended Clark family have had a wonderful week at the villa. The pool area is lovely and the website photos do not do it justice. Everything was very comfortable and we all appreciated the media facilities. We would recommend it to any similar group. Thank you.”

“One “busy” week cruising around Lisbon, Sintra & coast Neighbourhood. We have seen, done and of course eaten a lot! The Percebe was an interesting new seafood. This house is just perfect – we were 7 people, aged 10 – 91 and we all enjoyed the atmosphere.”

“The Halfpenny Family had a great week here, very confortable and well thought out accommodation. Recommend day trips to Cascais, Sintra and Lisbon (be wary if you get the 28 tram – we had 2 near miss pick-pocket incidents!) and the Oceanarium if it’s raining and you have kids. Good early morning coffees at the Oceano Café in the village and do use Ralph’s restaurant recommendations, especially Nortada (turn right at the Telepizza). Amazing sea views, great fish and friendly! Good service. Thanks Ralph for your tips!”

“Your hospitality has been unrivalled, tremendous, no question or query has been too much trouble and the detailed information jubilate. Nautilus food was scrummy, reduced one of our friends to tears of joy.
“The 9 of us had an absolute ball staying here for the week! The villa is amazing and the area was beautiful. Your advice and recommendations were very helpful to us, so thank you for that. Nautilus was a fabulous restaurant, we ate there three times! I’m sure we’ll be coming back here again sometime, even if the neighbours are sick of our music, late night swims and the random quotes we kept repeating – ‘You will never get this!’, ‘Everyday I’m shuffling’. Thanks again!”
