Where to begin? Antonio's cottage sits in a spot great writers imagine--at the end of the street, perfectly positioned to stare at the night sky and watch stars fall over the sea. A few steps away one finds the entrance to a pristine and expansive beach. The village and villagers are utterly charming. And then there's Antonio and his lovely partner Magdalena--they are the secret ingredient. I hesitate in recommending this so highly only because I don't want it to become so popular it will be hard to get a return reservation! Obrigado, Antonio and Magdalena! We can never forget this time!
