Rustic house, ocean view, sleeps 6, patio with grill

Top floor of the house had XL covered terrace for enjoying view of the town & beach within a 10 minute walk away: good climb up a significant grade on return. Enjoyed morning beach walk routine: end to end then home about 2 hours. Great Thai place for lunch in town & often had early tapas style meals on the deck at home here prior to sunset. Great place to relax & unwind at start of a holiday: for us prior to 20 night cruise & time in Lisbon thereafter. Our host was excellent & the house was very clean & well equipped: great value! Thank you, James & Tamie

We really enjoyed staying at this property. The views were amazing and the terrace was a fantastic outdoor living space with comfortable chairs, bbq and dining area. I can't say enough about how friendly and helpful the hosts were - they provided us with some really great recommendations too. Don't miss the walk from the property to the castle - well worth the climb! Would very much recommend staying here. As with most places that have good views, it was high and up some steep hills. Although we always walked down to the center of town, we quite often caught a taxi back up the hill - they are plentiful and inexpensive.

The focal point of the house is definitely the view of the town and bay pointing South, It is superb morning, day and night, and relaxing from the spacious terrace from very comfortable chairs and sofa outside undercover. The surroundings are very quiet, being on the side of a hill to the bay. The access to the house by road is quite steep but manageable, typical of the rest of the town. It is possible to walk into town and energetically back. The house itself is very very homely and the kitchen is well equipped. There are many other nice touches - CD players with a good range of CD's, hats (if you forget how strong the sun can be), garlic press, etc etc, plus the essentials (towels/linen) The house is one of 3 connected apartments. This one faces the bay above another apartment, and there is another behind. Privacy is assured between the 3. This is not part of a complex of apartments - it has an individuality to really appreciate. The town has a number of restaurants many serving fish based dishes. Parking can be a problem when visiting the town - suggest walking or paying approx 1 Euro per hour before 10pm. A car is recommended for journeying around and there is ample parking space at the house. The town and especially the beach can be busy in high season. I think this is a favourite resort for those living in Lisbon. Travelling to other towns and from Lisbon is easy, taking 40-50 minutes but be aware of the Lisbon bridge toll and which lane to enter. The owners were very helpful indeed. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a relaxing time on the edge of the town and doesn't mind a bit of a walk or has a car.

The house is in walk-distance of town on the hillside. Clean house with basic equpment, like on fotos. Nice owners with good tips and information. We will come again !! Torben and family from Denmark
