Located on the ground floor, is the large air-conditioned master bedroom with King size bed and an airy second bedroom with twin beds. Both bedrooms can accommodate 2 guests comfortably.

A second large terrace off the master bedroom provides a peaceful and secluded garden patio area in which to sunbathe, with a partial sea view.

A new bathroom, added in May 2022 continues the beach house theme, with luxury porcelain tiles, a modern walk-in multi jet shower and high end fittings throughout.

Outside, the property is situated in a complex with traditional Portuguese architecture, where the whitewashed walls and chimneys pay homage to a Moorish influence.

Very nice apartment with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Especially enjoyed the balcony.

Everything was clean and comfortable and the balcony overlooking the water was a nice bonus. Walk to town was a bit lengthy, but not strenuous. We made it everyday and considered it good exercise. Bus readily available if needed. Owner and management were in touch when needed and always helpful.

Lovely condo.

Had a lovely time. There was everything needed. Nice location for the beach and a bus stop at the bottom of the road. The only improvement would be better television channels.

It feels like home, with a perfect view on the sea!

The appartment has everything it needs, it is large and all the house supplies are there. The two terraces are very nice and the neighbourhood is quiet, you have everything you need in 15 minutes walking.

Sehr schön mit kleinen Mängeln

Die Ferienwohnung ist sehr schön, die Lage ist perfekt. Leider war die Reinigung nicht ganz so doll. Es standen noch Reinigungsgeräte herum und Terrasse und Balkon waren überhaupt nicht gereinigt. Das war nicht so schön. Das kleine Waschbecken im Bad ist eigentlich unbrauchbar - das reicht gerade mal zum Zähne putzen. Die Ausstattung der Wohnung ist gut (alles von IKEA) und vollständig. Der netflix Account hat leider nicht funktioniert.
