We had a great time here - the living space is huge and comfortable, so even as a group of 10 people we were all able to hang out together without ever feeling crowded. The house is in a little village about 20-25 minutes drive from downtown Porto (there was enough parking space inside the premises for our 2 rental cars). The house is a 5 minute walk from the beach, there is a nice bakery cafe a block away from the house, and there are supermarkets a short drive away as well as restaurants. The bedrooms are a little curious, as inside the bedroom there is only a bathroom with a shower cabin. But there were sufficient toilets for the group. Unfortunately the weather was very brisk even at the end of July (ocean breeze), so we didn’t take advantage of the dip pool, but it made the temperature inside the house very comfortable. Also only took advantage of the barbecue once, but it’s a nice large gas grill.
Even though we didn’t get to meet Jose, communication was always good, and we had a great stay.
