(Oct 2010): Well-positioned apartment on ground floor, close to beach, shops & centre of village (10 min walk up hill). Modern build, clean (slight smell of lingering cigarettes in bedroom), with neutral "Swedish homestore" decor and mod-cons - though perhaps bring extra bedlinen and towels if you like more than 1 pillow each or enough fresh towels for your stay. DVD player is a nice touch, but TV channels limited. Would be perfect for family or couples/ sharing. Very helpful agent to meet and greet you on arrival. Slightly noisy road outside that is used by early morning council workers (bin lorries, etc) and late night revellers. Good restaurants nearby include Busio, Caneco and Vagabondos. Supermarkets are very expensive locally (If you like a cuppa in the morning, bring your own tea/coffee as local prices are extortionate), but there are other cheaper stores in Portamao (15 mins by car). Plenty of places to visit by car on day trips - find the secret garden in Caldos, for example. Beach nearby has boardwalks which are perfect for prams & wheelchairs. Overall, comfortable stay for a very quiet break.
