I’ve now stayed in a few different airbnbs and Casa Gloria is definitely the best I have experienced. We absolutely loved this apartment. I was staying with my mum and my sister, who was six months pregnant at the time of our staying, so I was looking for somewhere quiet and central where we could have a relaxing break but still do a bit of sightseeing easily – and this fitted the bill perfectly.

The apartment is even better than it appears in the photos – tastefully decorated, well laid out, clean and spacious, and the kitchen in particular is well appointed with dishwasher and washing machine. The bedrooms are large and beds very comfortable. We also really appreciated the wine, water, butter, fruit and freshly made jam (delicious!) that were left for us.

Casa Gloria is extremely well positioned, on a quiet road but still very close to the centre. There was a little night-time noise on the Saturday, but Portugal had just won a match at the Euros, so we were surprised there wasn’t more!

We were very delayed on our flights over, and communication with Doris and her friends (Doris was away so friends carried out check-in and check-out for us) was excellent – all responded really quickly to a couple of questions we had during our stay. After several hours delays it was great to arrive and have a taxi waiting for us, which Doris had pre-booked.

All in all I would 100% recommend this apartment and Doris as a host! Thanks for a great stay, I am sure we will be back.
