Panoramic, spacious with terrace and garden, close to the beach

We stayed here for a week from 8-15 October 2025. The views from and countryside surrounding this property are spectacular and hard to beat! It was great to have a sitting and eating area on the back deck, as well as a sitting area on the sheltered front porch.The upstairs bed was quite roomy and comfortable (we didn’t use the downstairs one). The bathroom facilities are excellent, even if the showers are a bit of a squeeze for someone 6’2” tall and weighing 100 kg. There was always plenty of hot water. The washer worked perfectly. You should know that the apartment is actually 2 units, with the lower one accessible by an outdoor staircase. This is ideal for 2 couples or a couple with older kids who want some privacy, yet still be able to share space for meals and get-togethers. The weather was fabulous, typical for October, in the mid-20s and the sea was perfectly warm enough for a daily swim. The beaches are fantastic! The town has shopping essentials and plenty of good restaurants. The surrounding areas are delightful to explore. A car is a must though. Although it’s true you can walk to the beach (downhill all the way), the trek back up is grueling for anyone but the fittest.Stefano was the perfect host! He sent detailed instructions, sent us a welcome video and was almost immediately available for any of our questions. This was a perfect home base for us on the Costa Rei, and we recommend it highly. It was peaceful, quiet and surrounded by stunning natural beauty.
