We had a wonderful stay in this villa. The property is in quite a rustic location but the villa itself is amazing. Extremely clean, tiles and wooden flooring throughout, lovely beachy type furniture and the darkest bedroom shutters which mean you can really sleep in :)
We loved lying at the pool and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere and we also made use of the BBQ area which was equipped with food, fire lighters and matches (which was a nice touch).
We were a group of two couples and one 2 year old. The house had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and fun. A great music system, comfy beds, two bathrooms and three really nice size rooms. We also got a cot which was very kind of Jennifer to organise. They had a highchair for my daughter too which helped at meal times.
The villa is remote. There is a beach a short drive away but we definitely didn't think it was walkable. We did however use the car to drive to different little towns and beaches and explore the coastline which was such fun.
We loved using Jennifer's restaurant recommendations and were not disappointed by any of them. She also made a special recommendation for my father who wanted to try a specific type of black pig.
I read a lot of reviews beforehand and almost all of them mentioned the weather in this area. I have to agree that it is different to any coastal town I have visited. We found it was cloudy every morning and at about 11:30/12 it would all clear and the weather was amazing. This didn't bother us at all as we enjoyed the downtime from the sun and used this time to drive around and explore the towns. But if you are looking for a full day of sunshine, this is not the right spot for you. For those who love swimming in the sea, just remember that this ocean is FREEZING so you'll have to be very brave to have a dip.
All in all, we loved our stay and we loved Portugal. The food was delicious, the people are so friendly and the area is very authentic and beautiful. We would definitely recommend it and would go back to this villa in a heartbeat. :)
