Lugar de Baixo is known for its connection to the sea and the farming of banana trees. These two realities offer a fantastic contrast between the ocean blue colour and the green of the land ploughed by the people of this beautiful village.
The house is located in a small residential area, integrated into a farming area, which gives it an exotic, calm and pleasant environment. Recently refurbished, the house has a nice decoration and has a bedroom on the upper floor, with a double bed and private bathroom. The living room offers all the comfort and access to the outside area, where you can enjoy good moments at mealtimes, rest and leisure. The barbecue is perfect for making your favourite grills and gathering the family for a fantastic banquet. The property has a maximum capacity of four people (bedroom with double bed and sofa bed for two in the living room).
