Traveler reviews
Sophie Heimerl
★★★★★3 years agoCan highly recommend this beautiful place. The house is well restored with pieces of furniture and and an exhibition on the second floor. Fantastic architecture and design from an era not so long ago but long gone. Rute and her colleagues are doing such a great job in explaining you the history of the house. You really can feel how passionate they are about this beautiful place. It might not be the craziest thing you've ever seen but being there and listen to the ladies makes you feel truly timeless. Obrigada.
