Five-star rating for five-star hosts, location & experience. Loved the private room & balcony. Bed was comfortable, en suite bath with bidet was elegant & well-appointed, whole house had lovely old world charm with mahogany stairs, beautiful modern kitchen & the largest chandelier imaginable in their dining room. My hosts Mario & Dulce were lovely, accommodating & a joy be around. An added perk was having the mountain bikes available, with miles of bike paths along the beach. The local fare was great for food, coffee & meals -- just a couple blocks away that became a daily ritual. I enjoyed dinner at Restaurante Esconderijo right on the beach, steak for less than $20. I took the metro all the way to their place with two changes for cheap. For taxi service I downloaded the local App and it worked well. I went to Porto just 6 miles from these lodgings for hair restoration with Dr Bruno Ferreira. So this getaway checked all the boxes: proximity to my surgeon, a place to rest and relax, easy access to Porto & 30 min from the airport. Just loved my time there; the connections I made were wonderful & I can’t recommend Mario & Dulce’s place enough. They offer 3 rooms at different price points, so could also accommodate a family group. Thanks, Portugal, for a lovely time. I’ll be back!
