Alberto place is as described, near the ocean, you can watch sunsets from their terrace. The beach is very crowded (at least at the weekend). There is a supermarket a few km away, you can buy everything you need there. Since the kitchen is fully equipped you can bake and cook there. The restaurants on the beach are overpriced and if you cook at Alberto's you can eat looking at the ocean anyway.
The town itself has nothing special within itself, if not this house we wouldn't have enjoyed our stay, if to stay at Madalena, I think only in Alberto place, here you forget the cars, the people and just watch the ocean. Previous guests have left almost a full fridge, we had a lot of food, however, we missed on dishwasher tablets (were told to buy them ourselves).
