This was our first time in Portugal. We wanted fine beaches & great sea views. We were not disappointed.
Praias da Macas was a quick drive from Lisbon. Our BA flight landed early so we arrived early Barbara was a phone call away & arrived quickly to meet us.
The views from the terrace were staggeringly beautiful and we dined under the sunset most nights, never tiring of watching the surf.
The apartment was nicely furnished. Some lovely ornaments. Barbara left a welcome bowl of fruit, red wine & water.
We were left a hand & bath towel each, 1 part used loo roll, small travel sized toiletries which were a nice touch.
Once organised the kitchen was found to be decently equipped. We missed the use of a Nespresso machine though.
There is WiFi upstairs , which although intermittent on occasions was a decent speed.
The bathroom was large with a wet room feel. 2 sinks & plenty of storage in mirrored cupboards. No bath tub, which would have been impossible to fill as the water tank only held 100L water.
There is a utility area with washing machine iron & board but you will have to buy detergent.
This apartment is not really suitable for young children, but ideal for a couple.
Barbara recommended a lovely seafood restaurant called Buzio 200 metres away. Great service and food.
The village has many facilities including a really handy corner shop nearby. The area is a mixture of upmarket and slightly run down properties. Let’s call it “rustic charm”.
A car is necessary to explore the lovely sandy beaches and shop at Lidl supermarket a few miles away, but there are excellent walks from the apartment.
We highly recommend Barbara’s apartment.
