I chose this villa above so many others in the area because it looked to have character. It isn't shiny and new and stark like so many condos available. You have the feel of living in a space that reflects the local population. And the location couldn't be better - just a two minute walk to the beach. And a huge plus is a five minute walk to a local Spar grocery. We went every morning to pick up great croissants. Pedro is a very welcoming host and was very responsive to our few needs during our 10 day stay. The only issue we experienced was that it is a little difficult to find with the provided (translated) instructions. But a great stay at a great villa.
