The apartment has all amenities and is exactly as described near the beach. It is clean and quiet with a nice balcony.
The weather for May was windier than usual but the apartment had a windbreaker which helped us deal with the windy weather on the beach.
Lovely beach bars by the apartment which are within walking distance. Daikiri was nice and you can watch the sunset from this bar. It gets busy though and does cocktails and food.
Below the apartment is a mini market, a bar, chicken shop, coffee shops and hairdressers. All very friendly people and made us feel welcomed.
The train station is a walk away and the train takes you to Porto, which can be direct or with one change. Do not validate your train ticket until you see the train stop or the sign on the front as you’ll have to buy a new one. Some direct trains didn’t stop. The machine used to select ticket can give instructions in other languages.
Porto is gorgeous, very hot and lots of uphill walking. However, beautiful views of the city and lots of pictures to take.
Bars- in Porto there is an excellent bar called Base, check it out for relaxed vibes, music and sunshine.
Food- plenty of food places in Porto and by the apartment there is a lovely bakery for breakfast.
We were after a relaxing holiday and it’s what we got.
