What a fantastic place to stay!! We explored Portugal around the holidays and when we heard the fireworks in Lisbon were canceled, we decided to stay by the beach and ring into the new year. Was the best decision of our trip!! Maria made our stay so pleasant- her little house by the beach had everything we needed, and then some more. She welcomed us in person and showed us the place, stocked the fridge with local cheese, wine and sparkling wine for New Years, beer, water, even milk and chocolates for the kids. Such sweet touches especially when you’ve been on the road for 10 days. I enjoyed the quality Maria put in the house, even the dishes, glasses we drank from, cutlery … you feel like you’re home. The location of the house is right on the beach, we enjoyed the delicious pizza from the restaurant next door being delivered to our table outside. There’s a decently stocked grocery store just around the corner. Honestly, we already want to plan a trip back here!! We all left with best memories, thank you Maria!
