Some comments from people who have stayed in this apartment through another site:
1 - Based on my impression of the owner through his emails, we extended our stay from a week to 12 days. This proved an excellent decision. Carlos is a very nice man who takes great pride and care in his spacious, well furnished apartment. It is furnished to a high standard .. The large terrace gives great views of the sea and spectacular sunsets. The immediate location is a fishing village with long boardwalks, behind excellent beaches. The outstanding feature is the fast, modern metro connection to Porto to city that repays multiple visits. With a car you can explore the Douro valley and take a train or boat expedition up it..Also there is a range of towns within easy traveling distance. We used the Portsmouth / Bilbao ferry which combined with the superb, empty Spanish / Portuguese motorways made for an easy journey. We do not usually return to places, preferring new experiences, but we are making an exception of Carlos's apartment. Thank you Carlos
2 - We have just spent a happy and relaxing week in Carlos's apartment in delightful Vila Cha. The apartment is clean, comfortable, well-equipped and homely - the proximity to the sea and views of the sea are wonderful. The set-up worked very well with our lively two year old. We enjoyed early morning runs along the boardwalk followed by a bracing dip in the sea. The beach was busy with locals every day. Local restuarants and shops served as well as the local taxi driver for trips to Vila de Conde, the subway for a day out in Porto and airport transfer. Highly recommended for a taste of Portuguese village seaside life.

The apartment was very clean and tidy, everything was as described. The terrace with sea view is wonderful! Also the short walk to the beach!
Carlos is very friendly, responds quickly and is helpful.
You can use two bicycles, but you should know that the roads in the village are not good for cycling as they are not paved.
The house is very noisy and some of the neighbors have very loud dogs that constantly bark very loudly.
The village is small and cozy, but there is not much in the village itself.
So for two weeks it was enjoyable at all.

O Prédio não é barulhento. Neste caso foram obras esporádicas ( 2 dias) no prédio vizinho e foram efetuadas dentro do horário normal de trabalho. Quanto ao ladrar dos cães nada poderei fazer pois não são meus...há pessoas mais sensiveis que outras e que compreendo e aceito.
The apartment was pervaded by a damp, musty smell when we arrived, clearly had not been used for some time. It improved after leaving the terrace doors open for a week. Basically, the apartment is clean and spacious, but cluttered. The cupboards and every horizontal surface are filled with the owner's personal stuff, there is really no space for guests to put their clothes etc. The living room is dominated by a huge dining/billiard table. The owner is very helpful and responsive, the weak wifi was upgraded while we were there and is now really good.A highlight is the large sunny terrace with great sea-views, and the short walk to the beach.Vila Cha is not a tourist centre. Even though it is close to the Metro, the airport and supermarkets, it has retained a rustic, original charm. We really liked it..

Muito obrigado pelo seu comentario. irei ter em consideração o que mencionou embora alugue o apartamento há muitos anos e é a primeira vez que fazem observação ao deassarumo. O apartmento tem um roupeiro de 2,50m sendo 50% para o hospede e 50%
utilizado para a logistica do apartamento. Relativamente ao cheiro estou de acordo embora seja uma situação temporaria e imprevisivel que se resolverá com o tempo. Mesmo assim fiquei muito felizp de os ter como hóspedes. Voltem sempre. Cumprimentos.

Excellent Apartment
We had a fantastic stay in this apartment. The apartment is a real home from home with everything thought of to make your stay welcoming and comfortable.
The terrace is spectacular, a view you could never tire of, we watched the fabulous sun sets and even sat through a short lightening storm!
Our first trip to Portugal but we will definitely go back, hopefully to Carlos' fabulous apartment.
The village is beautiful and the locals are very welcoming and friendly, a short walk to our café for morning coffee at only 1.50 Euro's for both of us!
Carlos is a fabulous host (even collecting us from the airport), sharing his vast knowledge about the area and travel details for visiting the surrounding areas.
Thank you Carlos for looking after us so well.

Die Wohnung incl.großer Dachterrasse bietet für 2 Personen viel Platz für einen angenehmenen Aufenthalt.Leider war das Wetter bei unserem Aufenthalt öfter schlecht, sodaß wir die große Dachterrasse leider kaum nutzen konnten. Die Wohnung war sehr sauber und auch sehr wohnlich eingerichtet. Carlos hat uns sogar angeboten die Wohnung einmal während der zwei Wochen zu reinigen - ohne Aufpreis ! .Allerdings ist das Haus u.auch Wohnung incl.Einrichtung schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Die nun anstehende Sanierung der Dachterrasse wird sich hier sehr positiv auswirken. Wir haben ansonsten wohl gefühlt.

Baseado no seu comentario não compreendo a sua classificação. Realmente o tempo nao esteve favorável para quem deseja umas férias com sol mas isso não posso controlar felizmente. Quanto aos móveis não comento pois nunca nenhum hospede me colocou esse " problema" além das fotos serem atuais.
Wir waren 12 Tage in Vila Cha. Das Gebäude, in dem sich die Wohnung befindet, wirkt nicht gerade einladend, aber in der Wohnung haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Es ist alles vorhanden, was man benötigt. Auf dem (großen)Balkon habe ich jeden Abend den Sonnenuntergang über dem Atlantik genossen.
Obwohl sie selbst nicht in Portugal waren, haben Luisa und Carlos immer wieder nachgefragt, ob alles in Ordnung ist und haben super Tipps gegeben für Restaurants und Sightseeing. Absolut empfehlenswert!
Wohnung wie beschrieben, während unseres Besuchs schön ruhig wie wir es wollten, alles sauber und komplett eingerichtet, Highlight für uns war die Dachterrasse mit freiem Blick auf den Atlantik direkt in den Sonnenuntergang.
Alles in allem genau wie wir es wollten, können uns sehr gut vorstellen wieder hierher zu kommen.

Muito obrigado pelos vosso sincero comentario. Obrigado por terem deixado o apartamento em ordem. Gostei de vos ter como hóspedes. Voltem sempre
beau logement avec vue mer depuis la terrasse.
petits commerces de proximité et restos appréciés.
voiture indispensable pour visiter vallée du Douro, Braga etc... par contre pour se rendre à Porto, prendre le métro c'est l'idéal (environ 30 minutes de transport).
Nous avons aimé l'hospitalité portugaise.
Isabelle et Pascal
Vue sur la mer et bruit des vagues .
Nous avons pris tous nos repas sur la terrasse.
Accès rapide en voiture au supermarché, à l’autoroute ou au metro
Un très jolie sentier de randonnée longe le bord de mer.
Die Wohnung ist super geeignet, auch für einen längeren Aufenthalt in der Nähe von Porto.
Sie ist wirklich sehr gut ausgestattet, unsere Erwartungen wurden übertroffen.
Das beste ist natürlich die Dachterrasse mit Hängematte und wunderschönem Meerblick!
Die Metrostation kann mit dem Auto in wenigen Minuten erreicht werden, um Porto stressfrei besuchen zu können.
Der Strand ist toll für lange Spaziergänge und auch im Sommer, wenn das Wetter passt, sehr gut zum Baden geeignet.
Es gibt viele Cafés und kleinen Restaurants am Strand und in den Orten.
Die Kommunikation und der Check-in mit Carlos war sehr einfach und er war immer sehr hilfsbereit.
Wir können die Wohnung sehr empfehlen!

Thank you for your nice commentary. I enjoyed having you here.
All the best for you
Das Apartment ist wirklich toll. Sehr groß, mit Liebe eingerichtet, sehr sauber und zweckmäßig. Es gibt wirklich nichts zu beanstanden.
Es fehlt an nichts. Man könnte hier auch ganzjährig wohnen.
Es liegt in einem Reihenhaus an einer kurzen Straße, die direkt zum Strand führt. Hier ist auch der sehr gute Bäcker ansässig.
Die Terrasse mit Meerblick lädt zum Verweilen ein.
Der gesamte, sehr kleine Ort wird hauptsächlich von Einheimischen bewohnt. Es gibt ein paar nette kleine Kneipen, sehr preiswert.
Wer Trubel möchte, fährt nach Porto oder Braga. Da wird mächtig was geboten, alles vor schönen Kulissen. Und der Fluss in Porto ist natürlich der Hauptanziehungspunkt.
A recommander à 100 %
Tout était génial : le logement , la terrasse avec une vue magnifique sur la mer et l’accueil et la disponibilité de Carlos
Le séjour nous a paru trop court.
Nous reviendrons avec Grand plaisir
Encore un grand merci pour tout

J'ai adoré avoir ce couple et leurs enfants, amicaux et polis, dans mon appartement. Ils ont quitté l'appartement propre et en parfait état. Je recommande votre hébergement sans aucun doute.
Merci

Bonnes vacances dans l'ensemble mais déçus par le climat du nord
Bel appartement bien équipé et fonctionnel. Grande terrasse avec vue sur la mer, agréable quand il fait beau.
A proximité de la plage et des petits commerçants.
Voiture indispensable sauf si vous aimez marcher. Il y a 3.8 km pour accéder au métro. Tarifs des taxis sont chers.
Concernant le temps nous avons eu 5 jours de soleil sur 15 jours de vacances avec vent glacial, brouillard et pluie. Impossible de se baigner car la mer était dangereuse.

Esta foi a primeira hóspede que me deu uma classificação de trés estrelas ou seja a classificação pior que tive. Não reconheço motivos para tal classificacão embora reconheça que o estado do tempo e o mar não estivessem bons... mas felizmente que o ser humano não o pode controlar assim como outros situações menos agradáveis. Na página do apartamento está explicita a distância até à estação do metro. Os custos também não posso controlar...mas certamente no país de origem serão mais caros. Agradeço no entanto o terem deixado o apartamento muito limpo.
Thank you Carlos for letting us stay in your lovely apartment, balcony was sublime with a fantastic view of the ocean, local restaurants were amazing and so cheap 🤗 hire a car and you can’t go wrong, lovely towns north and south of fishing village, will never forget the quality of the Fish and especially the Steak at Chavilla restaurant, superb!! Thanks again Carlos hope to see you in the future 😀 Paul & Jo
