We loved Paula's place so much. It had everything we expected and more. The space is pristine, spacious with a kitchen perfect for cooking and a garden that's perfect for BBQing & for having long meals in the sunshine.
Small things made it so pleasant, like a full kit for going to the beach with a 7-year-old, beach toys and windbreaker included. We loved also that the cupboard in the living room was full of books and board games.
The location is superb. Granja is beautiful. The beach just outside the house is great. When the tide is low the rocks create little dipping pools that are so lovely to get into. Thanks to the bikes that Paula gave us we cycled and explored some other beaches, and each had a bit of a different feel.
The restaurants in Aguda which are 5 minutes' cycle away are amazing and a little shop there has everything we needed for making meals in the house. There's also a butcher and a fishmonger.
Paula is a gracious host, we left a bit in a rush without thanking her properly but hoping we will come back again.
