Pedro was a lovely host. He met us at the apartment when we arrived late evening and made sure we were fully prepared for our stay including good places to eat and being able to sort arrangements out for transport back to Lisbon airport. The appartment was great, met all our requirements and expectations, very clean and heaters provided as did get a bit cold night time. loved chilling on the balcony and the skylight upstairs which you can open and put your head out to see the view. Can't really comment on the self catering experience as we only really ate breakfast there but was plenty of crockery and cutlery. Location was perfect. In a quiet area as described but short stroll to the beach and harbour and to supermarkets etc. Would definitely stay here again. Would recommend the chicken restaurant which is just round the corner, full of local families, low key, beautiful chicken and a small pizza restaurant, short stroll away, best ever pizza and people. It has bottle corks obscuring 3/4 of outside window, easy to miss but fabulous.
