This stunning hidden gem, poised on the cliffside with a large terrace and uninterrupted views of the beach and ocean, is the perfect setting to watch the sun go down each evening and to listen to the waves at night. Mário & Catia are fantastic hosts and we had a wonderful stay at Um Lugar ao Sol. The house itself is spacious and comfortable with considerable attention to detail and Mário & Cátia were always on hand if we needed anything.
There is a local shop, just five minutes away, which was perfect for general supplies, including a great selection of local wines. The house is ideally located for both clifftop and woodland walks and Mário & Cátia also pointed us in the direction of a weekly market just down the coast in Praia Das Maças, with plenty of fresh fish and local produce, which we of course devoured on the terrace over a bottle of wine (the terrace really is wonderful!)
We couldn't recommend staying in this beautiful and quiet little coastal hideaway more and will certainly be coming back very soon.
