Alberto ' apartment is lovely and the location right next to the beach is great. Alberto's hospitality when we arrived was amazing. He left us coffee; a bottle of Port and the nicest Pastel De Nata. The apartment is very well equipped however there was no kettle for us tea loving Irish.
Whilst the apartment will sleep 8 people very comfortably it is only a one bed. The second bedroom is a sleeper couch in the entrance hall. The only downside to this is that sleeping late is an issue lol.
Madalena is a lovely area but there no shops nearby so a car is necessary as public transport is limited and sporadic.
We would recommend this apartment.
