The condo is very comfortable, well-equipped and beautifully located with a view of the sea. The underground parking is convenient, and there are plenty of restaurants & cafes within walking distance. We especially enjoyed the Casa Blanca. The manger is friendly, helpful and easy to communicate with.

Outstanding Apartment with amazing view

From arrival to departure we (2 senior couples) were thrilled with the apartment, the ocean view and convenience to restaurants, groceries and transportation. Restaurants and groceries are available within walking distance. Public buses to Porto are available on the same street some 5 - 10 minutes walk from The apartment. The apartment was spotless and kitchen is well equipped. Communication with Marcos was excellent.

Modern apartment on seafront

Comfortable apartment on first floor of a modern apartment block near bars and restaurants and 10 minutes by car from a large shopping mall. The apartment is quite well equipped for a holiday stay and has a bathroom and a separate shower room. It should be noted, however, that the apartment is not suitable for anyone with mobility problems due to the beds and settee being very low and the configuration of the bathroom and shower room. There is a large parking space in the underground carpark with easy access. The apartment faces the sea although the view of the sea is partially blocked by trees on the seafront across the road. Although the owners advertisement states that the apartment shows little signs of wear and tear this may have been true some years ago but some of the furniture now needs to be renewed and the bathroom had some black mould around the bath. The owner did mention that he was comsidering replacing the bath with a shower which could help to make the apartment more disabled friendly.

Lage, parken, Blick aufs Meer TOP, allerdings waren wir mit der Sauberkeit überhaubt nicht zufrieden ( sehr oberflächig gerreinigt). ( Terrassefenster voller Fingerabdrücke( wir mussten es reinigen) , Stühle schmutzig mit Flecken, Küchengeräte nicht sauber ( zB. Toaster) mit reste vom Vorgänger. Wir haben selber noch etwas nachgereinigt um uns einigermaßen wohl zu fühlen. Bettwäsche war sauber . Es ist Schade weil die Wohnung viel Potential hat und in Top Lage ist- aber Sauberkeit geht so nicht

Wir haben in der Ferienwohnung nichts vermisst. Optimale Lage am Meer und nach Porto ist es nicht weit. Für zwei Personen hat man mehr als ausreichend Platz. Gastronomie ist fusslæufig gut zu erreichen.Parkplatz in der Tiefgarage ist wertvoll, wenn man am Wochenende anreist.

Appartement au 1er étage, avec 2 terrasses, offrant une superbe vue directe sur l'océan. Situé dans un quartier très agreable et calme, idéal pour faire des balades a pieds, a vélo sur les pistes longeant la plage. Le centre de Porto est accessible en bus (comptez une petite heure) ou Uber pour 5 €. L'appartement est très agreable avec un équipement complet.
