Cozy holiday house in old town Saõ Martinho, away from the crowds

We loved this well equipped and cosy house in old town and it worked well for us in mixed weather.

Clean and had everything we needed. Everything was in walking distance. Our contact person was so helpful. Loved Sao Martinho!

Lovely accomodation with everything you need for a relaxing stay. Fantastic views from the upper terrace over the bay and town, Steep ascent from the bay as lift not working throughout August, so if you have mobility issues then check this out first.

So many reasons that we WOULD come back to stay again... Attentive host and owner offer fabulous communication, both before and during holiday. The house is perfectly placed on a very quiet road (10 passers by and probably 4 cars per day) - yet just a few minutes walk down a very steep hill (or get the public elevator) to find yourself amongst the cafe's, restaurants, shops and beaches. Sao Martinho is a picture perfect bay - it couldn't get any better. The house is very spacious with two sun decks and a secluded front verandah where we spent much of our time enjoying a sea view. If this house were up for sale, we would want to buy it!!! The downsides - you really couldn't walk anywhere if you have mobility issues (steep roads and uneven cobbles) - so a car would be essential. Parking outside is impossible, however it is possible to park outside for a moment to load/unload shopping and cases. The description does not adequately describe the lay out. The bedrooms and bathrooms are all joined in a corridor - Bathroom, Bedroom, Bathroom, bedroom. There is no door on the second bathroom, which is intended to be used by the second bedroom. Further, there is no door between the second bathroom and the main bedroom, so if your guests get up in the night they see you in bed through a flimsy privacy curtain, and you will hear them on the loo!! This lack of privacy unfortunately meant that our daughter and husband were unable to stay as intended.
