As soon as we arrived at the house, we knew that we'd found something
special. We could hear the waves rolling to shore no more than 100 meters
behind us, and the beach wasn't crowded at all even though the weather was
lovely.
Inside the house was a living room with comfy couches, a kitchen with enough
room to prepare meals for all five of us (the knives were fabulous!). Thanks
to the nice decorations it felt less like staying at a hotel and more like
visiting friends. Pedro's father even gave us some vegetables and herbs
grown in his own garden!
Amelie and Pedro left the house prepared as if it was for friends. They left
some food and drinks and the idea was for us not to have to buy everything
but to refill when we finish or buy something else, for future guests. It
was great and very uncomplicated. They also left a very useful
description of the surrounding area and where to go shopping or to go out for
dinner.
Our neighbours to our left, Daniela and Rui, the owners of a cozy local
cafe, were happy to chat and offer help when needed.
The train station was easy to reach, about five minutes by foot, and the
market was even closer. We recommend the restaurant Ciao Bella (great pizza)
and the freshly caught fish.
We had a wonderful family holiday and highly recommend a stay here. The host
Amelie is fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble, and service and answers
to questions were always very prompt.
We would all love to return one day - thank you Amelie!
