A beautiful, spacious, comfortable apartment with great views, nice bedrooms and a fireplace, right next to the beach and the Atlantic ocean. The local village is small but well resourced even out of season when we were there, and there are cafes, bars and restaurants as well as a corner shop, chemist, butchers and market hall all within a few minutes walk. There are several towns to visit, just a short bus ride away.
Marilia is a very responsive, knowledgeable host with excellent English (my Portuguese is almost non existent!) She explains things and provides advice very clearly and has all the local knowledge you’ll need. If you want a slightly quieter beach or surfing holiday on the Atlantic coast of Portugal, but want some higher end accommodation, this is the place to go. Be ready for the stairs though - this apartment is the top (third) floor, but the view from the huge balcony is more than worth it.
