We stayed here for the final part of our Portugal trip, Lisbon (Belem), Sintra and then here. We travelled there from Sintra by cab (U_er); there is a bus but the house is a little remote and the cab fare very reasonable. We arrived very early (before the previous guests had checked out) but we were able to leave our bags with Maria to go exploring. We knew this property would be in a small village - we wanted to stay in a less touristy area with a mix of rural and beach. The holiday home is at the rear of the owners property with a rustic style which we loved. It's a walk of under 10 minutes to the centre of the village which has some nice restaurants (the Alentejo style buffet restaurant was fabulous) and some small local shops and mini-markets. The Magoito beach is fantastic and about 40 mins walk away. Again there is a bus but not very frequent in May which was when we visited. We stayed 2 nights and really enjoyed our stay.
