Our house makes use of its space intelligently and was well equiped and comfortable, but not luxiurious. It was the first one of 7 in a row of houses (overlooking the street) all built at the same time for holiday letting. Hosue 7 at the end of the row is not a holiday let. Each house has a patio with table and chairs. Just perfect for hanging out with a glass of wine between excursions! The walk to the beaches is no more than 5 minutes and there is a supermarket (3 mins walk) and a really nice butchers next to the houses and of course cakes and bakers shops all nearby (ideal for self catering). Also some nice cafes and restaurants. Nice rooftop terrace bar/restaurant servig good food at one end of Rua da Sra. da Luz. Our favourite beach and beach bar/restuarant with loads of comfortable outdoor tables and sofas was at Praia da Luz. Go there!
