Ruca is an exceptional host, we had everything we needed and more. She was very generous and went above and beyond to accommodate us.

The house and gardens are delightful - as many others have said: far better than the photos! There are several huge gardens surrounding the whole house which are beautifully kept including a court yard covered with grape vines, a large lawn and a wonderful outdoor dining area. The house is situated on the dunes and from the back gate, the beach is approx 10 metres away - miles of deserted golden sand! There are also views of the sea from 3 of the 4 bedrooms.

The nearest train station, Granja, is approx 10 mins walk away, as is the nearest shop, where you can buy everything you need.

Do be aware the weather can be quite windy and foggy as it is so close to the sea and slightly chilly in the evenings, even in the height of summer - so bring a jumper at least!

Overall, we loved it here and would definitely stay again!
