I can’t imagine a more perfect place to stay in this area of Portugal. This was a last minute change of itinerary for us and a highlight of the trip. The house has so much character and so well appointed. The location is very close, just minutes to the coastline. Our room was very nice and bed super comfortable. The breakfast was amazing. 10 stars!

We loved absolutely everything! Very big apartment- great for family with three kids- there were games for kids which they enjoyed. Super comfy beds, clean, lots of towels, freshly washed blankets. Big comfortable bathroom. Kitchen equipped with everything: ample amount of cutlery, cups, plates, bowls of all sorts and sizes. Microwave, electric kettle, coffee machine, toaster, stove (gas) dishwasher, washing machine, everything anyone would need! Lots of lamps and extensions. Pool was great! Little one and bigger one deep end around 2,5 meters. 5 minutes walk to the beach. Funny how there’s just one grocery shop, vegetables market and butcher and like five million of clothes shops 🤣🤣🤣 Communication with the property agency was effective- Mariana is the nicest and helpful person to deal with. We were arriving late evening and been delayed for hours and she was making sure we arrived safe to the apartment in the middle of the night. And there was welcome pack waiting for us- nice surprise ❤️
