When you wake up and open the shutters you look out over Sao Martinho's bay. And what better way to start the day by having breakfast on the balcony with the same view!
This two story, three bedroom appartment was just right for our small family of three. It has a big kitchen, where you can do some proper cooking, a good sized living/dining area with satellite TV and good WiFi.
The appartment is situated in a fairly quiet part of Sao Martinho, with possibility of free street parking nearby. As is usual in Portuguese towns, you have to navigate a small bit of steep street to get to the door of the appartment. A great bakery "Concha" is nearby and walking a bit further you pass a small supermarket and reach the daily fresh market. For the supermarket we preferred the short drive to the Continente in Nazaré. Filling up the tank is cheapest at the local Intermarche.
Contact with the agency was very good, and upon arrival we were warmly greeted by Lesley. When due to an neighborhood outage the spark of the hob wouldn't function anymore, her husband dropped by within the hour to help us out.
In the master bedroom that we slept in, there was a visible spot on the ceiling from an old leakage- that could use a bit of paint. Some superficial cracks in the plaster on some of the walls. Other than that... It's a great, cool and clean appartment, well situated. Would recommend visiting the castle and old Town of Leiria, the Convent in Tomar, Caves of Mira Aire, Nazaré and of course enjoy the beach and bistro's of Sao Martinho do Porto! And if you turn in after a hefty day of leisure, close the shutters, but be sure to leave the sliding door slightly open, so you can fall asleep to the sound of the surf.
