A beautiful and well curated property. It is clear that Hugo has put a lot of love and passion behind it. Nestled in a quiet village and super close to pristine beaches, this is an opportunity that shouldn’t be missed

Peaceful location 👌

We spent a week at this lovely accommodation in Portugal and had a wonderful time. The location is incredibly peaceful, making it a perfect getaway. However, having a car is essential to explore the area, as it’s about a one and half-hour drive from Lisbon. The surroundings are absolutely stunning, with many beautiful beaches nearby. We particularly enjoyed a surf school that was only about 20 minutes away. 😃 While the accommodation doesn’t have a washing machine, there is an old-style outdoor sink perfect for hand washing, which worked out quite well for us.👌 Upon arrival, the host had prepared a bottle of wine for us, which was a lovely touch. The host was also very responsive and helpful, promptly addressing any needs we had. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a tranquil retreat near Lisbon.

Klein aber Fein

Liebevoll und sehr hübsch eingerichtetes Häuschen, ausgestattet mit allem, was man braucht. Gute Lage mit schönem Blick ins Grüne, 5 Minuten mit dem Auto von Meer und Lagune entfernt. Top Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter Hugo, sehr nett und unkompliziert. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und würden es jederzeit weiter empfehlen!

Ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt

Die Unterkunft im Dorf Aldeia de Brescos ist sauber und liebevoll eingerichtet. Wir haben die Ruhe und die unmittelbare Nähe zur Lagune und diversen Stränden sehr genossen. Restaurants (Café de Palmeira ist super, so auch das Chez Daniel) und Supermärkte (in V. de Sto. André) sind sehr gut zu erreichen. Es war eine tolle Zeit!

Calidad- precio mala

Cosas positivas: la ubicación, camas cómodas y baño amplio. La playa es una pasada. Cosas malas: la casa es muy pequeña (las fotos están hechas con mucha astucia). Cocina: no se puede usar. Toallas: solo pusieron dos para 7 días. El porche es pequeño e incómodo. La nevera hace mucho ruido por la noche y hay que quitarla. No hay espacio para dejar las cosas (metimos las cosas en el coche). No hubo agua caliente el último día y la última tarde ellos estuvieron regando por la finca. Las puertas son un rollo… en fin, la playa es genial y la zona es bonita. El precio de la casa exagerado. El

Awesome rural house

Lovely studio house in a quiet location that is a short drive to many beautiful and unspoiled places. Hugo was always very kind and helpful. The house was very well equipped and it is exactly as described. With two young children, we obviously missed a laundry machine, though there is a nice area outside the house for washing and hanging out clothes, which is really handy. We really enjoyed our stay and wished we could stay longer...

Sehr schönes Naturhäuschen nicht weit vom Meer

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Das Naturhäuschen ist wie beschrieben. Einfach, aber liebevoll eingerichtet. Man hat alles was man braucht und fühlt sich sehr wohl. Das Häuschen liegt am Rande eines Naturschutzgebietes mit einer Lagune. Auf unserer Weg durch das Naturschutzgebiet zum Meer (ca. 20 Minuten Fußweg) haben wir im Juni sogar ein paar Flamingos in der Lagune entdeckt. Auch der nahgelegne Strand ist super schön. Kilometerlang, breit und nicht stark besucht. Die Kommunikation mit Hugo war sehr unkompliziert und schnell. Hugo hat uns persönlich begrüßt uns alles gezeigt. Er ist sehr nett uns hilfsbereit.
