Beautiful Condo Apartment With stunning Panoramic Sea And Lagoon Views

Well equipped, spacious and tastefully furnished apartment with incredible views of the lagoon/ocean. The pool is immaculate and of an excellent size and the tennis court is an added bonus. Realistically, if you have children, a car is required to get to and from the beach (or the town) but there is so much (free) parking that this was never a problem for us. The Atlantic facing beach is awesome, with huge waves crashing into the shore and surfers to watch. The lagoon beach is perfect for swimming and great for kids. Foz do Arelho town has a handful of decent restaurants and bars, as well as a few useful shops. Caldas da Rhaina is only a 10 minute drive away and has several huge supermarkets, and a really pleasant park in the center with a nice children's playground and a great cafe/restaurant. The weather is generally perfect for families (in July at least) - we enjoyed mostly bright sunshine with temperatures of 25-30, with a few windy/misty mornings/afternoons, which were actually welcome. We would definitely recommend this apartment (and Maria as a host), and will hopefully return to Foz again soon!

We arrived at the property on the Sunday for a six night stay. It is a lovely property with everything you could possibly need but be warned there is a steep flight of stairs from the road down to the property and there is no hand rails, it comprises of a total of 24 steps. Furnishings have been updated inside and have been done very tastefully. Views of the lagoon from the property are amazing. Swimming pool is great and there is also a pool for small children, main pool is over 5 feet at the shallowest point. We had very misty damp weather at times unfortunately and it actually seems to penetrate the property as we found our clothes always felt damp. Maria was extremely helpful and looked after us well and even lent us an iron from her own house .We were also greeted with a beautiful basket with bread, cheese, fruit, cakes and wine. We have always wanted to see this part of Portugal and although it is not an area we would go back to we are glad we chose this property

Nous avons passé un agréable séjour au calme. L'accueil a été très convivial, Maria est très gentille. L'appartement est très bien équipé, (grande terrasse, accès à internet et hamacs c'est plutôt cool!) puis l'endroit est tranquille. Ce qui manque dans l'appartement, ce sont des informations sur les endroits à visiter, les restaurants à fréquenter et les animations à voir dans la région. Quelques recommandations auraient été les bienvenues. Merci à Maria et bonne continuation.

Also forgot to mention, the apartment was equipped with plenty of fresh towels so we didn't need to pack any. There was also a hair dryer, coffee machine, microwave, dish washer and washing machine.

The property is well located and overlooks the lagoon and the sea at the distance. We particularly liked that it is family oriented and had a lot of toys for our kids to play with. Maria, the owner, was very accommodating as our flight arrived quite late. She has also been very responsive during the week. There are other properties in Foz that are newer and more modern but they usually lack Internet, the location is not that good and the owner is in another country. We felt that this property was a good balance and we were not disappointed. The property also includes satellite TV however most if not all channels are in German. It was not an issue for us as we didn't go to watch TV and we get the we news over the Internet. But a bonus if you speak German. Overall great experience.
