bernadino's place is unusual as it has a lot of his or his brothers personal stuff in it which was fascinating. they obviously love art and it's a real eclectic mix of modern and old. I wish we could read Portuguese as there are lovely 1916 bound magazines which are lovely to look at.
it is very spacious and the balcony overlooks the pool and has a sea view. it gets good sun, we just didn't get a lot when we went!.
the kitchen is fully equipped, although the oven doesn't work so no pizzas. he does provide a small portable oven. lovely to use the bbq too.
the only real problem was that it was damp, even the bed felt damp, which created a smell. hopefully in July, August you don't get this problem.
the beach is close. we walked there a lot. all in all a nice fully equipped apartment.
