We really enjoyed our stay at Maria and Bernardo's place. We were a group of 3 families, and were able to get comfortable in our own rooms very easily. Bed rooms had plenty of storage space and windows, and the living areas were tastefully decorated with books, games, and nice furniture. The bathrooms were a little bit smaller than I had imagined, and also a little worn and dated. But still quite functional. The patio with a view of the ocean was the best part, and where we congregated as a group most often.
Beautiful weather and a great location (just a 10 minute walk from the beach - Praia de Poça) made our stay even more pleasant and memorable. Supermarkets were nearby (within a 10 minute walk), as were several restaurants and cafes, and car parking (we parked one car in the drive way, and one on the street) was convenient.
