We stayed with Den and Ros for a week in Sept,
and what a lovely,friendly,helpful couple we
found them to be. Nothing was too much trouble, and were made to feel at home and comfortable in their little piece of Paradise. We found Casa Rosden idealy located in the centre of Portugal for visiting all the wonderful and interesting towns and cities Portugal has.Thank you Ros and Den for making us feel so welcomed, we shall be back!

Thank you Ros and Den for such a warm welcome and for your generous hospitality during our holiday with you :o) The views from the pool and terrace across to Tomar are fantastic, and we especially enjoyed relaxing with a glass of wine watching the sun set after a busy day’s sightseeing. Perfect! and a great introduction to rural Portugal :o)

Rosina and Dennis were wonderful hosts, who made us feel comfortable all around. They gave us many hints about what to do in this interesting area. Dennis’s orientation tour of Tomar, especially to the aqueduct behind the castle –but also to food shopping — gave us an excellent start. Since it was hot in August, we really enjoyed the pool every day after sightseeing. The studio is very comfortable and furnished nicely. The pergola with the view of the countryside is a great place to have a meal or just sit and enjoy the view.

Multiple Choice Question!
(a) This is an awful place and Tomar should be on the UNESCO list of ‘places never to visit in your lifetime’
or

A really lovely apartment, clean, fresh and very comfortable. Ros & Den are lovely, friendly hosts who are there when you need them, yet manage to strike the balance just right and give their guests as much privacy as they need. There is a pool, which is a relaxing place to be, and outdoor eating areas too. Big towels are provided . . . and everything is provided to make you as comfortable as possible.
There are some lovely dogs too . . . and if you like dogs then these will be a joy. Although the dogs keep themselves to themselves, and are very quiet indeed . . . But if you want to be friendly with them, they are very friendly, gentle dogs.
A relaxing short stay . . . and it would have been lovely to stay longer. Definitely recommended as a cosy hideaway for a couple.

Dear Ros & Den
Thank You for making our short stay welcoming & so enjoyable! If we had had more time ,we would have explored more, but being able to relax by the pool, take our baby swimming & have fantastic barbecues in the evening has been great!
Our first holiday with Dara has been very memorable thanks to this great home and pool.
Thank You for all your advice, hospitality & for making us feel so welcome!

17th -24th July 2010
Thank You both very much for the warm welcome we received.
Thanks also for the fruit, milk and wine. The wine was a good way to celebrate our 28th Wedding Anniversary on that day.
The tour around Tomar gave us an insight into the town, making our visit on the Sunday much easier and more enjoyable.
The location is perfect for visiting the area, some of the hilltop towns are very beautiful indeed and well worth the journey to see them.
Getting the train to and from Lisbon was easy to do especially after discussing the options available to us. The trains were clean, tidy and always on time. It was a good day but very tiring!
Our last day consisted of looking at the market in Tomar, last minute gift shopping and picking up the final bottles of local wine to take north on our journey home to Scotland.
Thanks again for everything.
