This house is located in an idyllic location. It was difficult to tell from the photos how beautiful it is. The house is basically set into the side of a big rock that makes a small enclave overlooking a sand beach and a natural pool fed by the waves, right on the Atlantic. The balcony has a nice view and nice breezes. You can’t quite see the sun set over the ocean because the rock hillside and a couple of rooftops are slightly in the way, but sunset is lovely nonetheless.
The location, Azenhas do Mar, feels remote but is close to Lisbon and quite convenient. There are excellent restaurants in the area (our favorite was Agua e Sal, about 100 steps from the front door of the house), grocery, and its not difficult to go out sightseeing.
The house is on two and a half floors, bottom floor is small but well equipped kitchen, living room and eating area plus the great balcony. The bedrooms are small and on top and the bathroom in between.
The hosts were very helpful. When we arrived there was a wonderful welcome spread, coffee, milk, wine, and snacks characteristic of the area. We had a problem in that the water heater had broken probably right before we arrived. They were extremely responsive and got it fixed very quickly, possibly more quickly than I would have been able to do at home.
