This is a stunningly beautiful area for the beaches, the boardwalk path is hands down one of the most amazing natural walks I've taken in years. The diversity of the floral and fauna is truly amazing. We stayed at Dianas very clean, huge, modern and extremely well fitted out flat for two weeks in September. It looks exactly like the photos but the view is even better, hearing the waves, and seeing the ocean from the bed was so nice!! The area around the flat has some farms with roosters and chickens and you can hear them clucking away and of course theres lots of dogs, but if you're in Portugal this is to be expected. There is a train station about 10 min walk away that takes you directly into Porto, also getting a taxi back to the flat costs about 18.00 Euros so that's a quick option as well. There is a little cafe across the street called A-Z cafe that makes amazing coffee. Diana was an amazing host, very responsive, really kind and friendly and able to handle any issues we needed help with. My daughter and I really loved this flat and that beach path will be a highlight of my memory forever.
