The house is as described. Great surroundings, 5 minutes to the grocery store, walking distance to a restaurant, and 15 -18 minutes to the beach. Póvoa de Varzim is a beautiful city. We were impressed by the host’s customer service. We had a great reception like I never had before. Sr. Carlos and his family are amazing hosts. The house is very good but the host's attention makes the difference. We are a family of 11 and one of us uses a wheelchair. The house is not 100% accessible but with help and all the attention we received from Sr. Carlos, my brother was able to spend a special Christmas. We spent Christmas at the house and we were able to prepare all the food using the kitchen utensils, it's very well equipped. Unfortunately, it was raining so we were not able to use the outdoor amenities. I wish we can come back during Summer or Spring to enjoy the outdoor amenities. We recommend “A Casa das Oliveiras”.
