Spacious. clean, duplex located in a great complex with good facilities. Enjoyable to eat your breakfast in the sun looking out at the sea. Location is on a headland with great views, steep walk into the resort. The only negative was the double and sofa bed mattresses that were very hard and need to be replaced. Despite that would recommend the property.

AMAZING Stay can't wait to go back!!!
Our stay here has been fantastic! The oweners could not have been more accommodating: we checked in early, the flat was impeccably clean, the location is fantastic and has the best view in Sao Martinho and the facilities are brilliant. You have everything you need in the flat and it is so big that it feels like a house rather than a flat. The property was more than enough for 8 people, really spatious and the grounds were well kept and kept us all entertained. The property is 10 mins away from the centre of town and we enjoyed the walk down after eating so many lovely Portuguese pastries. The views are outsnading and the 2 terraces help you make the most of it. The swimming pools are lit up at night as well which is great as you can use them at any time.. overall we could not fault this place, great value for money and we would definitely book it again!! The pictures don't do this place justice!

Tolle Anlage, netter Hausmeister, Wohnung schön, Bäder und Küche sollten jedoch renoviert werden. Ausstattung gut, Grundsachen wie Abwaschlappen, Spülmittel , Salz, Pfeffer fehlten jedoch. Trotzdem sehr zu empfehlen. Danke!!!

This property is in decline. Community games room not useable. Missing items like pool cues, golf club and balls for mini golf. I would not rent this property without access to a vehicle , too exhausting to travel down to the beach more than once a day.
This was a lovely property that met our needs during our stay, it was in a great location with a superb view, lots of facilities on site.
A couple of areas that could be improved:
The apartment could do with a bit of TLC. A number of shutters in the bedrooms are broke and need fixing. There was a smell of damp which indicates a previous flooding issue but none of this caused an issue with our stay,
Would use again and recommend.

Beautiful!
'The Ship' as our appartment is called is a great place to stay. Four big bedrooms, a well equipt kitchen and living and dining area and two terrasses. Beautiful placed on a klif. The walk into town is a steep one but pleasant. However when you aren't a walker it is nessesary to rent a car. Because of the fog everything was a bit damp and the beds were really hard but we managed to have a very nice stay. Customer service was very good, the pools very nice and clean.
Many great place to visit in the surroundings; Nazaré, Obidos, Alcobaca, Lisbon, Sintra, Fatima etc. And in the village of Sao Martinho there's a great Gelatomania!
We would recommend this place sincerely!
