Monthly Rentals in Santa Catarina

It's hard to adequately put our appreciation of Linda & John's warm hospitality into words. They went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. We felt like we were staying with family we didn't know we had...in Portugal. Over the years, a number of our AirBnb stays have been nice but clearly run by businesses - some with leasing 'agents' that were more accessible than others, but businesses all the same. Linda, John, & their daughter are real people & their sweet canine family members Lucy & Bobbie are real doggers :-). The very personal feel of the stay we enjoyed in their home is reminiscent of the concepts we're under the impression AirBnb was founded on - genuinely welcoming homeowners who are eager to share a glimpse of the little piece of the world that they love with their guests. We were sad to leave our new friends & very hopeful we can stay in touch. And now with a limited # of characters to work with... we've at least tried to put our appreciation into words.

We stayed for a bit more than a week while visiting friends in the area and appreciated the peaceful countryside setting. You can hear the birds sing and smell the eucalyptus trees. The guest house was spacious, well-equipped and had good Wifi. Crissy and David were very kind, helpful and respectful - Crissy brought fresh linen and towels when we extended our stay, which we appreciated. The region tends to be quite humid, especially with heavy rain, which we had a lot of during our stay. That said, the house was quiet at night and we were grateful for Crissy and David’s hospitality. :)

The place was lovely and has a beautiful view. Definitely worth the price!

What an experience! My children loved The Moinho Velho and the history that upholds it. Our sons enjoyed the antique CD/radio player, the attic, the koi pond, and the surroundings. I love that you can have both worlds, staying in a tranquil rural setting and about a 15-20min drive to urban amenities.
