    Accommodation

    I live in a village and offer accommodation in a private room with a private bathroom.

    As your host, I will provide three meals a day: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Whenever possible, these meals will offer an experience of Portuguese cuisine and local flavors. Sharing meals will also be an excellent opportunity to learn about Portuguese culture, enjoy good food and fine Portuguese wine, and spend time together in a friendly, welcoming, family-like atmosphere.
