This was by far one of the best places I’ve stayed in. First, our hosts were incredible: responsive, attentive and incredibly nice and polite. Second, the place is a dream: it has all the space you need (and more) and all the modern commodities you expect from a modern family home, but with gorgeous colonial features.
Then there is the location. Just 5 minutes (power) walk away (or a more normal 8 minute stroll) to one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever had as a local beach (Coelha), and super close to world-class restaurants and massively long beaches (Gale). Also, really convenient for shopping (Aldi is a mere 6 minute drive away).
We were there with a large family (3 kids of 1, 3 and 7 years of age) and 4 adults, and there was still space to spare. The kids loved how comfortable it was both inside the house, and the outside areas (they spent long hours in or by the pool), and the adults adored how quiet and beautiful the surroundings are.
A star recommendation: go on a seaside trek. The trails start just five minutes away from the house (towards the beach) and one can go 2-3 hours to the left (West) and about 4 hours to the right (East)!!! And have some refreshments on one of the many restaurants by the beaches along the way! Incredible!
All in all a fantastic place with some of the most welcoming and nice people in any place we’ve stayed! Thanks so much to Manuela and Ines for a fantastic stay!
