My wife and I stayed at Rita and Vasco’s place for two nights in early May. The place consists of a large bedroom with a glass walled beautiful bathroom and a wonderful tub. The unit is super clean and cozy with ocean views and views of the surrounding hills. The place is upstairs from the host’s residence with a fantastic outdoor terrace out the front door with the views described above. Two chairs and a table outside is where I sat with my book and wine. Next door there are rows of lemon trees . Fantastic restaurants are within walking distance. Food prep is not an option at the flat, but is certainly not needed with the dining options available locally. The village of Penedo is where the place is located and is authentic and charming. We twice walked to a local vineyard to buy their wines which were delicious. The host’s communication was much needed at times and quick. Rita called in restaurant reservations for us. Rita saved us a huge amount of stress by testing us for COVID the day before we left and then having the results emailed to us from the lab she works in the next morning right before we checked our baggage. Negative tests were mandatory before flying back to the US. So in short, the place and the scenery are beautiful, the local food is tremendous and the hosts are super responsive and giving of their time to make the experience really memorable. We will return and we recommend the stay highly.
