Wow! Ligia's home felt very authentic; lots of charm and character. It was extremely spacious, making if feel like such good value for money. Initially it felt a little odd to have two separate living quarters, meaning my husband and i slept in a different building to our 3 children, but they thought it was a true adventure and ligia's place is very secure with two locked gates at each end of the property. We were very grateful for the washing machine and the numerous well-stocked bathrooms, along with beach towels and beach gear. Ligia and her husband made us feel very welcome on arrival and our children loved to explore and feed the geese. We spent our entire time outside and the beach at Espinho was a highlight, plus there was a Liddle there for cheap groceries! 3 nights was just about the right amount of time for us as the top building was a little damp and stuffy which started to aggravate our youngest daughters' chest. This place is a gem!
