I'm Fred. In 2013, my wife and I took over "Boa Terra" from family who owned it for 17 years and converted the old, neglected farmhouse into the attractive, comfortable house it is today. After the death of my wife in 2021, I am still very happy with the house, the place and the quiet environment.

We as a family enjoyed 3 weeks in August in casa boa terra.
The view was blissful! However, you do need a car to get around to the delicious restaurants in the area. The Sweet Portuguese Silvina also gave us a nice welcome...

Dear Nicole Patrick and Malou, thank you very much for the wonderful review. Although a 7 for Furnishing and condition of accommodation is good, but less than the other rating points, there should be areas for improvement. It i...

We had a superb week at Boa Terra. While temperatures were over 40 degrees Celcius the house was reasonably cool during the day. And after being a day out it was so good to take a plunge in our private swimming pool. Thank you ...

Thanks for the good review. "Good Wi-Fi" and that after the outage at the provider. But yes, when the malfunction was fixed, the Wifi indeed works fine.

The weather cooperated and the whole family was in a holiday mood. The children become bigger and more agile, less likely to fall off edges. This meant even more relaxation and holiday feeling for mom. Enjoyed beaches, restaura...

Glad you enjoyed your stay at Boa Terra again. And thank you for posting a photo. You are the first! I recognize the place. It is the walk that starts by walking through Arneiro.

The only thing we found a bit difficult in the house is that the toilet is in the bathroom. Furthermore, we are full of praise for the house, swimming pool, environment. The information folder was very well taken care of. We gr...

Thank you very much for the positive response!
As for your comment about the toilet: that is indeed a bit difficult if you are with 4 people, but the possibilities to change that are limited.
Thank you for making so ...
