I booked Gaelle’s place as a last minute trip for myself and 17 year old daughter. We had a lovely time. The apartment is situated in Ribamar which is a fairly quiet village...perfect for what we wanted. The apartment was very clean, modern and had everything we needed...great there was a washer & dryer (no clothes washing when we got home!). The bed was very comfortable and also the shower was very good. There is a small supermarket literally 2 mins walk which is very well stocked and reasonably priced. Also they do nice coffee.
There are a number of restaurants close by which serve lovely fish. The larger hyper market is a 10 min drive from the apartment. My favourite thing was to walk to Coxos beach in the early morning and watch the surfers...this is a 10 min walk but up hill. Fine for me as I hike/walk a lot. There are lots if nice beach’s in walking distance but we had a hire car which was very handy (free parking outside the apartment).
Gaelle was very prompt in her communication and checked us on our last day, which was a nice personal touch. I highly recommend her place which is extremely good value for money. Perfect as a base for exploring the surrounding area, surfing, hiking etc. Thankyou!
