Casa Eugenia, a 2 Bedroom Holiday / Vacation Apartment in a private residence in Buarcos, Figueira Da Foz.

The apartment is on the first floor/ground level in a private residence. It has 2 bedrooms (each with their own closet), 1 bathroom (with shower), living room, and large bright kitchen with a large eating area, and a walk-in closet. The living room and kitchen is an open concept design.

The apartment has access to a terrace overlooking a picturesque valley and has views of the ocean. Patio table and chairs with umbrella available on the terrace.

As soon as you walk into this place you won't feel like you are staying at a hotel. It's like being at home, away from home, and without the hotel prices. Feel free to wonder around the grounds, the garden, the vegetable garden and the fruit trees.

The property is located at the top of the hill near the castle ruins of Buarcos (Castelo de Buarcos). The 5 minute walk down the hill to the beach will take you through the narrow quaint streets of Buarcos.

Buarcos, a suburb of Figueira da Foz, in the Beira Litoral region, Silver Coast, is on the Atlantic coast. It is a picturesque fishing village, well known for its' beautiful extensive white sandy beach and deep blue restless sea. The surrounding beaches are well known for its windsurfing and surfing. It has an abundant number of cafes and seafood restaurants in the surrounding area.

It is 3 kilometers from Figueira Da Foz city center; a lively cosmopolitan city at the mouth of the Mondego River. A walk to Figueira along the promenade will provide you a view of esplanades, hotels and access to the casino. Parallel to the road is a cycle lane along which cyclists and skaters glide. It’s worth cruising Buarcos/Figueira's seaside road in summer or winter, from one end to the other. It’s a long beach where you can play football and basketball - it even has tennis courts.

If you enjoy the forest, within a few minutes drive toward Quiaios, you will have access to picnic areas and enjoy cool summer breezes.

  • October, 2009, I had the privilege of staying at Casa Eugenia in Figueria da Foz for 2 weeks. This was absolutely one of the best places I’ve stayed in a foreign country. The apartment was very convenient to the sights of the city and beach, but also in a very nice neighborhood. The city is very clean and friendly. The apartment was excellent for my extended stay. It was very clean, nice beds, and good atmosphere – I enjoyed cooking with the fresh fruits, vegetables and fresh meats from the local farmers markets. My apartment was fully equipped to cook and bake what I desired. The patios are lovely and very relaxing with gorgeous views as well as the nicely manicured yard and garden areas. I really felt like family, as John and Eugenia were very helpful in directing me to the things I needed or wanted. Their children were available to answer my many questions in English. For me this was totally awesome since I speak no Portuguese – This made it so easy for me. I really felt like I was coming “home” to my apartment at the end of each day. Between the awesome stay at Casa Eugenia and the wonderful people in this community, I had a fantastic 2 weeks! I would highly recommend this apartment to both experienced travelers and the new/green traveler. You will be treated like family!

  • Just recently stayed at Casa Eugenia... Portugal was amazing and we loved Figuiera Da Foz and the surrounding country side. What really made the trip a pleasure was the hospitality provided by John and Eugenia Carvalho. Its always difficult to travel to other countries for an extended amount of time. Everything seems so different and foreign but John and Eugenia made us feel like we were home. I have had the ability to travel to many countries and have experienced a number of different types of accommodations. Casa Eugenia ranks far above any where I have ever stayed. The Carvalhos constantly went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying every minute of your stay... If you plan on going to Portugal and plan on staying in or around Figueira Da Foz, be sure to stay at Casa Eugenia. You will absolutely love it!!!!!!!....... Thank you so much to John, Eugenia and David for making our time in Portugal one of the best experiences ever

  • Looking for a home away from home? This is it! Owners Eugenia and John were the most wonderful hosts and David kept us well informed of places to eat and visit within the surrounding areas. We booked 7 nights and stayed 8. Figueira da Foz is the perfect spot for day trips. I would not hestiate to recommend Casa Eugenia to anyone looking for a place to stay in Portugal but beware of the Ginja. Thank you Papa John and Mama Eugenia for a truly memorable experience.

  • We had a wonderful time in Portugal and we hope to return some time. The people are so gentle and non-aggressive. Our time at Casa Eugenia was very special; our hosts were delightful. We were extremely comfortable in the apartment - we had lots of room and the attention to detail in every way was so touching and appreciated. We loved the garden – the fig trees, grape vines, tomatoes and lettuce, etc. What a treat. September was a great time to visit and Buarcos a good base to explore the surrounding countryside. We would be happy to recommend Casa Eugenia to anyone.

  • If you are looking for a place to stay that feels like home, this is the place! The location, facilities and hosts are beyond amazing. We travelled Portugal for 3 weeks, and the week we spent with John and Eugenia (along with a few days with Dolce and Alberto, and the phenomenal assistance from David), made our trip a truly memorable one. It truly felt like we stayed with family,

  • We stayed at this property from Figueira Da Foz for a one week period in May 2009 and really enjoyed it. It was perfectly located to visit the middle area of Portugal, from Fatima, Coimbra, Conimbriga, Aveiro and many more cities. We were 4 adults and it felt like being at home, with the superb view of the ocean in addition. We had the opportunity to cook our meals, received good advices from the owner of the facilities such as grocery, restaurants etc... Also, we really appreciated the kindness of the owners, Eugenia and her husband. Eugenia also had us taste her secret ''Ginja'', which was very good. We highly recommend this location to everybody, very nice place and people.

  • Everything about our stay was wonderful! The Carvalhos were most gracious and provided for our every need/concern. Our total stay in Portugal, including the Azores, was a dream vacation thanks in large part to our first week spent at Casa Eugenia and the opportunity we had to orient ourselves there. We will have fond memories of it that will last us a lifetime.

  • Our week in Figueira da Foz was wonderful. The accomodations were comfortable and spotless. The views were magnificent and John and Eugenia took good care of us. Be sure to ask John to barbeque for you. The people of the neighborhood and area are friendly and it is easy to travel widely and see much.
