The apartment is part of a complex of about a dozen apartments and is literally a few minutes walk to a lovely beach – a very rare thing in this part of the Portugal, where most resorts will require at least a walk if not a drive to the beach. Those near a beach will cost a lot more than this one, which is competitively priced. The apartment itself is well appointed, and enjoys stunning views across the nearby beach to the ocean beyond. Ideal for watching the sunset. The apartment complex is quiet at night and there is a shared pool which is useful for a cooling-off dip. Patricia, the host, couldn’t be more helpful and is always keen to ensure that your stay goes well. She is always responsive and lovely to deal with.
