Our stay at Casa Pendana, Porches****
Fabulous!
Everything from the initial enquiry through to leaving the apartment was first class – Chris could not be more helpful before your trip.
The apartment has a wonderful position overlooking the main pool in the complex, which is great if you just want to relax on the balcony area while keeping an eye on your children. The apartment decor is elegant and clean, with air conditioned rooms and beds which are very comfortable – not the usually uncomfortable slab you get in most apartments. Everything you will need is in the apartment, including satellite TV (Sky / BT Sport) a dishwasher and washing machine through to every kitchen utensil you can think of but never knew you would need. What also helps are the little things Chris and Carol have thought of, like the cooler carrier folding bag for the beach or the little granny type wheeled trolley (with a cooler interior) for bringing things back from the supermarket. There are also foldable beach loungers which can be slung over your shoulder.
The complex itself is spotless, and on our visit did not appear to get overly busy – I understand some owners do not necessarily rent out their properties, so it doesn't get too busy around the pool area. The are three pools to choose from – two in the lower complex, and a shorter pool in the upper part of the complex.
In terms of the local area, the beach (Praia Nova) is a 5-minute walk down the road – this beach has a tunnel (carved in the rock) through to a smaller beach on the other side which also has a restaurant called 'Vilarinho'. There is a large supermarket called Intermarché 8-10 minutes walk up the road – the supermarket is well stocked and provides everything you would need for your stay if you are going to be catering for yourselves throughout your stay. There are a few restaurants in the local vicinity, which are good for grilled fish/meats with potatoes etc. There is also a pizzeria and Indian restaurant 5-minutes walk up the road.
I will definitely consider a return visit soon – it really is like a home from home.
I hope this review has helped.
Erwartungen trotz der 5* Bewertungen der vorherigen Besucher noch übertroffen
Wir (m27 & w26) haben zu zweit eine wundervolle Woche in dem Apartment von Chris & Carol verbracht und waren von der ersten Sekunde an von der "Casa Pendana" begeistert.
Schon von außen machte die gesamte Anlage, welche inmitten eines kleinen Dörfchens oberhalb der bekannten Kapelle Nossa Senhora da Rocha liegt, einen sehr gepflegten Eindruck.
Das sehr stilvolle und bis ins Detail liebevoll und hochwertig eingerichtete Apartment konnte diesen Eindruck zusätzlich verstärken.
Die Küche ist voll ausgestattet und lässt keine Wünsche offen. Die beiden Badezimmer sind sehr gepflegt.
Das Elternschlafzimmer ist sehr geräumig und das Bett/die Kissen sehr bequem und nicht durchgelegen.
Zum Wohnzimmer können wir gar nicht so viel sagen, da wir es nur als Durchgangszimmer zum Balkon genutzt haben :) Dieser bietet einen herrlichen Blick auf den Atlantik und lädt zu einem entspannten Frühstück und einem letzten Drink am Abend ein.
Der Pool und die Pool-Terasse sind ebenfalls sehr gepflegt und da jedes Apartment seine eigenen Liegen hat, bietet dieser auch immer ausreichend Platz für ein Sonnenbad.
Ein Mietwagen ist aufgrund der Strandnähe sowie dem fußläufig zu erreichenden Intermarché und zahlreicher Restaurants nicht zwingend nötig. Wir hatten jedoch über die gesamte Zeit einen Mietwagen zur Verfügung, was ich auch so empfehlen würde, da das Umland sehr schöne Tagesausflugsziele bietet.
Neben dem tollen Apartment ist besonders der nette Kontakt zu Chris und Carol hervorzuheben. Gleich ab der ersten Kontaktaufnahme, über wertvolle Tips während des Aufenthalts und dem netten Service einer Erstverpflegung, waren sie stets sehr hilfsbereit und bemüht den Urlaub perfekt abzurunden.
Vielen Dank für Alles und hoffentlich auf bald
Thought of everything
The service we received was excellent from our first enquiry to return of deposit . The apartment really has everything and more you could possibly want for a fabulous holiday . A lovely welcome pack with all the essentials needed and even beach towels , umbrellas chairs loungers etc. The complex is small with 3 lovely pools ( one directly under our balcony ) which made it so easy to pop back for drinks lunch etc. It was quiet at all times with lovely sea views . The beach and supermarket are close by ( easy walking distance ) as are a few restaurants , if you want more choice then there are lots of taxis to take you to Armacoa de pera ( about 5 euro each way ) we got a no on day one and rang him each time . We would highly recommend staying here, everything is to a high standard and offers more than others in the area ( we spoke to other holiday makers who didn't have anywhere near the same standards in their apartment ). Thanks so much we'll be back
Everything was perfect, great apartment and excellent service from the owners

Beautiful Apartment with Plenty to do!
We stayed at this apartment in late May 17 to early June, and this is our second time at Chris and Carol's apartment. It is beautiful, with all the mod cons and extras, such as parasols for the beach, tennis rackets, board games, travel info, deck chairs etc. The apartment is comfortable and meets all the requirements for a family. The best part is eating out on the balcony and admiring the sea view. The location itself is quiet but there is plenty to do. If you hire a car there are local villages, larger historic towns, gorgeous beaches, caves and a huge water park to visit!. This is our third holiday to the area and to the villas - we would highly recommend it! The owners have been really helpful too, making sure we are okay, organising a welcome pack of food on our arrival and generally being really informative. We will return...
Super Holiday at Casa Pendana!
Hi Chris and Carol, just a few words to say we have had an amazing stay at your beautiful apartment and would recommend to anyone looking for a holiday that 'does what it says on the tin' then look no further.. the apartment is equipped with everything you will need, is in a good location and Chris and Carol provide you with an excellent level of service and information. We would not hesitate to return and thank you for allowing us to experience this part of Portugal in such lovely surroundings.
Kind regards, Laura, Neil and Natalie from Harrow
