My daughter and I stayed here for 2 nights. The stay was so lovely. The apartment and its surrounding were beautiful. We would absolutely stay here again
We stayed in this rustic apt and it had as much character as its owners. Mario, Margaret, and Tonia are great hosts. We appreciate the coziness and the helpfulness of the hosts.
These are amazing hosts! We were met with a beautiful array of snacks and gifts to start out our unique stay.
We have never stayed any place like this. I think we spent all most all of our time in the bar.
And if you are looking for a pool this one is it!

Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour chez Margaret, Mario et Daniel.

Véronique et François
Fizemos reserva para 4 dias/3 noites.
Chegamos e fomos recebidos pelos proprietários um casal extremamente simpático e atencioso. Esperava nos uma casa rústica de boas dimensões muito limpa. Com direito ainda a alguns mantimentos que inclusivo foram usados ao jantar.
Parte exterior com uma piscina e zona envolvente agradável, com bons espaços para refeições ao ar livre e convívios.
Recomendo 🙂

Foi um prazer recebê-los. Muito obrigado. Venham mais vezes.
The house was fantastic. Super luxury and had absolutely anything we needed. We were 3 families sharing 2 floors. We have arrived in the afternoon and they have offered a lunch that was prepared for us, great surprise! House is authentic and beautiful, with all the amenities that
you wish for. Our kid and us enjoyed big pool with amazing views . It’s one of the bay places we have stayed in!

Magnifique séjour
Nous avons passé un magnifique séjour chez Peggy et Mario, des hôtes très disponibles pour nous guider dans nos excursions. L'appartement du rez-de-chaussée est très agréable et très frais. Parfait pour résister aux chaleurs de l'été. La piscine est très belle, comme sur les photos, et le jardin ombragé, plein d'orangers et de citronniers. Je recommande cet hébergement dans lequel j'espère avoir l'occasion de séjourner à nouveau lors d'un prochain voyage au Portugal.
