The apartment was pervaded by a damp, musty smell when we arrived, clearly had not been used for some time. It improved after leaving the terrace doors open for a week. Basically, the apartment is clean and spacious, but cluttered. The cupboards and every horizontal surface are filled with the owner's personal stuff, there is really no space for guests to put their clothes etc. The living room is dominated by a huge dining/billiard table. The owner is very helpful and responsive, the weak wifi was upgraded while we were there and is now really good.A highlight is the large sunny terrace with great sea-views, and the short walk to the beach.Vila Cha is not a tourist centre. Even though it is close to the Metro, the airport and supermarkets, it has retained a rustic, original charm. We really liked it..
