Fontinha by an island apart

Supergoede locatie: op loopafstand van het strand en het centrum; en toch rustige locatie. Het appartement is ruim, met een groot terras. Slaapkamers zijn ruim, twee badkamers en alles was schoon. Wasmachine is aanwezig.

Localização: perto da praia e perto do centro da vila.

Da invasão de formigas.

Der Blick auf das Meer und die zentrale Lage

The location was good. Not central but close enough to bars, restaurants and the beach.

No welcome pack, even though our host knew we were arriving late in the evening. Within minutes of walking around the apartment in bare feet, we notice how dirty our feet were getting. Heaven knows when the floor was last mopped! The apartment offered the bare minimum of facilities. No oven or grill. No air-con or fans so we were pleased the weather wasn't too hot. No mosquito nets on the windows so we weren't sure whether to leave windows open at night for ventilation. 'By an Island' are in the business of making money. This becomes apparent when every email from them is full of links to purchase trips, safaris, firework displays etc. We didn't see our host. The only communications were by WhatsApp or email. There were roadworks 50 metres from our apartment for the whole of our stay, usually starting at about 7 - 7:30. Should our host have alerted us to this scheduled work so we could make a decision about whether to cancel?
