We found this area is very private despite the hosts living on site. We had sole use of the pool and were able to use our own floats that we took.
The main bedroom was very spacious with a small en suite - the drainage isn't great so a quick shower is needed and there is no ventilation in the bathroom.
The kitchen was big enough with a kettle, sink, cooker, oven and all cups/plates/utensils provided. We did have to ask for the freezer which arrived quickly.
No washing machine but the hosts did offer to wash our clothes.
Bedroom 2 was bunk beds and quite small with a lovely en suite.
Bedroom 3 was gorgeous with a double bed and a lovely en suite.
We booked the whole 3 bedroom place but only got bedroom 1 and 2 to begin with as someone (an engineer?) was using bedroom 3 during the first half of our stay. We did manage to get bedroom 3 eventually but it was quite difficult as the owner had gone away and left relatives in charge who knew noting about it.
You NEED a car as it is a long way from anything. I was lead to believe that the apartment was closer to Lisbon that it was (25 miles away which is £75 by taxi each way!)
We advised the host that we would be there around 1pm. we arrived 15 minutes early and was advised that the apartment wouldn't be ready until 1.30.
When i queried the number of beds I wanted made up 36 hours before our arrival I was advised that we only needed 2 bedrooms instead of the 3 that I had booked and the host suggested we cancel with no where else to go, so we had no other choice but to take the 2 rooms.
