absolutely amazing area. the apartment is perfectly located close to 2 beaches and a nice walk up the town where there is a great selection of shops and a lovely bakery just around the corner from the train station. Perfect spot between Lisbon and Casicai giving you the best of both for travelling around. We loved the fact it wasn't a tourist area like Casicai. The locals love kids which is great as we had a 1yr old and 4yr old and they loved all the attention. Brilliant facilities everything one could need for a wk rental or longer. 100% we will be back again.
