Vitor's apartment in Santa Cruz is very beautiful, cozy and stylish at the same time. The beds are exactly as super-comfortable as they look in the pictures, which was one of the main criteria, why we chose this apartment.
The kitchen has everything you can ask for. It is well equipped and we cooked delicious meals almost every night.
The dining table is perfect and so is the entire living room. It offers lots of space, a very comfortable sofa and a great big screen TV. Netflix is also available and can be accessed.
The bathroom is also very unique with a gorgeous shower stall that includes a rainshower. There are lots of beautiful, elegant, modern and rustic details in the apartment. Our children kept saying they want to live there permanently because it's so nice.
Vitor was also very helpful by providing all kinds of useful tips regarding daily needs like food-shopping, sites-of-interest, etc. I always felt, I can contact him when I had a question, and I received prompt answers. It was a good feeling to know, there is a local person I can ask all sorts of travel-related questions.
The location of the apartment also allowed us to drive to Lisbon within less than an hour and explore the city. We even went to Setubal to go on a boat-trip to see the Dolphin-Community of the Sado River and visit the extremely beautiful and calm beaches of the natural parc of Arrabida.
In short, we had a marvellous week in the Westcoast of Portugal.
