Pousada Verbicaro - Santa Maria Madalena

10/10 Excellent
"Mario Verbicario the owner received us with a smile and was super helpful, he also told us a little history of the place that actually looks like a mini museum, lots of history around the property and on the walls. Amazing night sky and a place of star gazers. Will return for sure."
