About

Portuense Alojamento Local

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • No in-room shower in some rooms — One guest noted that their room lacked a shower, which was unexpected but not unwelcome. The listing does not specify which rooms have showers, so check before booking.
  • Small property with limited rooms — With only six rooms, availability may be limited, and there are no on-site facilities like a restaurant or fitness centre.
  • No pets allowed — The property has a strict no-pets policy, so you'll need to make other arrangements for furry companions.
