Pedro and Renato are very friendly, helpful and communicative persons. It's clear that they take very good care of their motorhome. The car is in good condition, both mechanically and in the living area. It's clean and comfortable and despite it's age, it almost feels like a new motorhome, as they explained to me they have acquired and renovated the car just recently. I can only recommend, we had a great time, thank you!

We highly recommend to rent a camper from this couple! Everything worked great, from comunication to rental. Also the camper was nice. Comfortable, fully equipted and everything worked without complications. We spent one of the best holiday in Sicily and the biggest part is because of this camper. Thank you.

It was our pleasure to rent our campervan to Dario and his wife. Communication was easy and courteous before and during the handovers. The van was returned in good condition - thanks very much. Safe travels guys :)

a great renter, the van was well taken care off and communication perfect.

Thank you Richard and Verity. Glad you had a great time in Henley :-)

Ryan and his partner are a fantastic couple really nice and we had great communication throughout the rental process, they really looked after and respected the van took great care of which we are grateful for. They had a great time visiting and camping at Glastonbury festival. We look forward to welcoming them back in the near future. Thank you Ryan.

Very communicative with quick response times. Went above and beyond to pick us up and drop us off at the airport and went over everything thoroughly. The camper is older but is functional and the over cab ned is SO comfortable, especially for a camper! Has everything you need (basics) and with a quick trip to a grocer you’re ready to go! The camper also gets really solid gas mileage and is easy to drive and park especially with the backup cam! Highly recommend!

The owner is very kind and helpfull (brought the car to our location and we agreed on the place of return). The car itself is in a very good condition (not the fastest one but it seems very reliable). Car was equipped with sun-shower, chemical toilet and Daniel even gave us some beach-toys for kids! Overall we were more than happy with everything!

Great hirer. Would recommend

We rented a car one week before. The owner Marcio and his wife is absolutely lovely super friendly hosts. We had a problem arriving on time, I.e. two days late. They have waited for us, and agreed to give car at agreeable time. The car is in good condition with everything a family needed. Kitchen, refrigerator, shower. It was our first experience on such car, we had to quickly learn where to park. Marcio had assisted us in every way, also reachable on WhatsApp. He had given us a manual, so it was no problem. Windows open from different sides. Three sleeping beds. One is converted from table but we didn’t need it. Absolutely recommend if someone wants to have a journey on the car Portugal!

Lovely renters, would hire again.

It was a pleasure to rent our van to Sophie and her friend, everything went smoothly :)

My husband and I had a wonderful trip away in Vanessa! The van was as described and very clean and tidy. Well equipped with cutlery, plates all the small kitchen items needed. Liam and his wife and really friendly, great with communication and well organised.The only thing that we would say is if you are tall (my husbands 6ft1) the bed is a little short.Would absolutely recommend otherwise!

We rented this vehicle for about two weeks to do a family trip around Portugal and part of Spain.We were happy with the entire process. The Motorhome was reliable and easy to drive around due to its size and shape which made it possible to go almost every where which was is big advantage in my opinion.Also Miguel , the owner, was very nice and well communicated and supportive,

My partner and I had a fantastic 4 night trip in Sao Miguel. Beatriz and Tiago were phenomenal! It was our first time using the platform and things didn't start off well with issues booking (a yescapa problem). Yet B&T were always communicating with me and we finally got the correct dates to be reserved. B&T went above and beyond to ensure we had a good experience, offering their time, suggestions and help to troubleshoot.The van is beautifully decorated and well equipped. People always peeked inside when we had the doors open. We used the table and chairs, and the stove on multiple occasions. The bed was okay, as can be expected from a campervan. At 5'9 I was just about able to be straight from heel to head. If you are a much taller person, you might feel uncomfortable. With the curtains, we had privacy at night. We kept things tidy all the time and recommend doing so as things can quickly get out of hand in tight spaces. The water pump was reliable, as were the lights and power outlets (USB, 12 volt and usb-C) to charge our devices. We even had a portable espresso machine that I used often. Unfortunately it led us to run out of gas for our meals on the final day. The sink looks cute but is perhaps not the most functional design. The water tank was large enough for us to not have to refill it over our 4 nights but we were also very careful and didn't waste water. We really appreciated having some spices and the oil and vinegar to make salads. There were lots of pots (3) but unfortunately no lids - I would have preferred 1 pot with a lid along with the kettle which was useful to boil water. We thought we had a good amount of space for storing our food and our carry-on suitcases. B&T even had a basket of games and an instax camera available for our use!Sao Miguel is a hilly island. Accessing beaches or miradouros always means driving down switchbacks and certainly an experienced driver is needed (5 speed manual, diesel). The engine would struggle at times, and knowing when to switch gears was important to keep momentum and maintain speed up inclines. The van had no issues climbing very steep hills (>10%) on first gear. We found some amazing spots to spend the night and it was a very cool way of covering lots of ground and explore the island. At the time of our rental, the radiator fan was not working and this resulted in very foggy windshield one morning until it cleared up. It was not a big deal but could have posed a safety issue while driving if the fog had persisted. The van did have a modern display screen enabling you to connect your device and play music, but the speakers we lacking in sound quality and volume.All in all, I can't think of a much better way to explore the island than using a campervan. We had a great adventure and it was definitely due to the kindness and efforts from B&T and all the great people we met along the way.

Very good renters, no problems at all. Good communication, very clean and respectful. Would recommend and rent again.

We had a great time in Joao’s Blue Hotel. The van came equipped with everything we needed to cook and clean and there were tons of USB outlets to charge our phones, speakers, and backup batteries. The bed, pillows, and blankets provided were super comfortable and we slept well during our 15 day rental!Joao gave detailed instructions on how to use the equipment. I will say that driving the van definitely has a learning curve to it and you should be confident driving an older manual vehicle. Joao was available if we needed anything but our trip was smooth and we didn’t have any issues. Traveling Portugal by van is 100% the best way to explore and I recommend renting a van from Joao!

Great comunication. Everything was flawles from the moment they made a reservation till drop off. Hope the rest of vacation was nice aswell.

I was so lucky to have oportunity to rent the van to Juliette and her friend. They are both very nice and easygoing. On top of that they realy know about the mechanics of the car which was great because of miner issue on the van. They took very good care of it so I that I didn't have to worrie. Thank you for everything and hope to see you both again one day. J.

Everything went incredibly smoothly with Cedric and his friends as our camper van renters. They not only took excellent care of our van, but they were also extremely pleasant to interact with. I genuinely hope that all future renters have the same level of consideration that Cedric and his friends displayed. It was an absolute pleasure dealing with them.Best of luck on your future travels, Ivo
