Sergio’s apartment is really beautiful and spacious. It is even better in real life than the photos. It’s very central and so perfectly located for the towns bars, cafes, shops and numerous fabulous places to eat and have fun. It’s close to several beaches too to suit surfers and non surfers. It’s not far to a small square (up the hill) that has a great bakery, butchers, and the indoor market (mornings) with fruit and veg, and fish and seafood on the lower floor. We liked the Continente supermarket for general provisions, a short walk up the hill towards the main road. It’s easy to catch the beach bus to other beaches and from the main bus station buses to Lisbon and Sintra. You must take cash for these journeys and wear a mask. Sergio is a great host, very friendly and helpful. At one point we had a problem with the hot water and he got an engineer over to fix it within a few hours. The only thing to note is very noisy at night from the (fabulous) Tubo bar. We loved the night we went there but be aware that the bunk bed room is directly above and so is affected until the early hours most nights. The other sleeping areas are quieter. We loved our stay and would go again.
