A 50 year old house which fools time for it could be just 10 years old. Situated in a fresh, calm and relaxing small group of houses built with one main material, slate, where as many trees as possible were left standing. Lovely gardens, also.
The weather was not as hot as it should be so, that gave us the opportunity of using the fire place; lovely evenings.
We walked a good bit around the small village and the people, those we had direct contact with, were amazingly well mannered and considerate towards us.
People, do visit the beach and do use the walk-way; if the weather permits, Rui has a couple of bikes for you to use, use them, we couldn't due to not so good weather.
If you don't want to cook, we would recommend "Sabor as Lenha", minutes walk away from the house. If you are going to cook, shops tend to close at 20:00 hours.
If you need a bit of personal pampering, opposite Sabor as Lenhas, there is a small Shopping Centre, in there, Kakulo Salon will look after you; lovely people, mother and daughter as we found out, with decades of experience.
Rui, (and we met his wife as well), was, I mean, we cannot find fault.
Beautiful house and surroundings, lovely village which we suspect in Summer time is very very busy, lovely locals...
... we had a fantastic week and hope to return for a longer period; we already miss it.
Thank you Rui, thank you Mindelo.
