5* experience from booking through our entire stay!!! From being greeted by Pedro when we arrived and departed, as well as Alfonso driving in from out of town to be sure to greet us before we left, we always felt welcome. This pool house was a fantastic oasis of quiet within an easy walk to the beach, restaurants, stores and public transport. The city center was very easy to get to on a direct route on the city bus. The hop on hop off buses are also within a short walk of the house. The house was the perfect size for our family of four, very well equipped kitchen, comfortable bedding and linens, including lots of extra towels and even extras for the pool. They set up a shuttle to and from the airport, making this house a full service accommodation. We loved being able to go into the city center to see the sites, then retreat to the quiet and calm of this pool house and the lovely Foz. This house was everything we hoped for and more, except we were sad not to have the opportunity to meet the 3 dogs that sometimes roam the yard, since we are dog lovers ourselves. The entire lot is secured with a gate, so we felt very safe and the kids enjoyed running around the large lawn and having the freedom to play on the swings. As parents of small children we were concerned about the easy access to the pool and were relieved to find that all three doors could be locked and the key removed so the kids were unable to exit the house without our knowledge. We thank Alfonso & Pedro for their help in making our short weekend a wonderful family get away and hope we will have the chance to come back again in the future.
