Large house perfect for a family, decoratively dated, great beach access and owner communication.
This is a lovely property that is very close to the beach and a 5 min cycle ride to Monte Gordo. There is also a nearby shop attached to a cafe that is perfect for essentials. The beach itself (5 mins walk away) is stunning and seems to go on forever.
As is clear from the pictures, decoratively the house is a tad dated inside. For those who don't mind this, however, it offers a perfect Algarve beach house. Although the house has 5 bedrooms, the small living area would make it a bit of a squeeze for large gatherings, ie any more than 6 adults and 2 small children.
One word of caution: if you travel to the Algarve in winter (Dec-Jan), as we did, be prepared for its unpleasant combination of very cold night temperatures and high humidity (= a lot of damp, wet surfaces outside and even mould inside), something for which we were unprepared! Very few Portuguese houses seem to be built to deal with this problem, and ours was no exception. The house does not have a tumble dryer so we took many trips to the launderette as it was impossible to dry clothes by hanging. As I understand it, however, outside of winter damp is not an issue.
There was excellent communication from the owners throughout: they were quick to respond to any questions or issues, and forgiving of our small breakages, which was much appreciated.
Overall, highly recommended! (Just maybe avoid winter).
