The house and the location were just as described and even better than expected thanks to the stellar hostess and the positive energy I found there! I hadn’t made plans for my stay beforehand, and it ended up being great for everything I did: relaxing in the sun with a choice between balconies, the garden, and the front yard, cooking and barbecuing - the house has all the equipment and there’s a grocery store in walking distance, surfing in Peniche (as a beginner it was very convenient to rent all the equipment on the spot and to have lots of opportunities for taking classes), working remotely (good wifi!), walking to the beach and enjoying the local restaurants and beach bars. Throughout my stay Emmy was always available for tips and suggestions for activities and places to go. Thanks to the nearby buses, getting around is easy. I enjoyed every day and can’t wait to come back!
