Casa Milu -

Casa Milu on the quiet Salgado Beach south of Nazare is the perfect place to spend a relaxing vacation. The lodging is a short walk downhill to an uncrowded beach--a great place to watch the sunset! For swimming the bay at Soa Martinho do Porto a few miles south seems better (although Milu did warn us that on windy days the fine sand gets in your face). We did not have a beach day even though we brought our swimming suits. We spent our time exploring the region (a rental car is almost a must since this location is a bit isolated) visiting Evora, Obidos, Coimbra, Tomar (for the last day of the Festival of the Trays!), and Fatima--and of course Nazare. After driving it was fun to relax on the balcony with drinks and enjoy the setting sun and the goats. For immediate needs the Triangulo Mini Market just over the hill is well stocked with more than just the essentials, a wide variety of fresh fruit, pastries, wine, and cheeses. Milu was an extremely gracious hostess who checked in with us regularly and gave us suggestions for things to do Highly recommend!

A good place to stay, if you wish to go sightseeing in the central Portugal. We did enjoy ouer stay wery much, and love to come back. Kind regards Citta Flenste Denmark

We stayed a week in the upper Apartment with an awesome view to the mountains and to the ocean. The Apartment was clean and cosy. Everything one needs is existent. Milu and her mother are very friendly (just like all portugues People we learned to know) and answered all our questions. The tips, Milu gave to us were very helpful . The near Restaurant she recommended served Hugh plates of homemade fresh Food for less Money. With the car you can can get to Nazare or Sao Martinho in a few minutes. The near beach is awesome and you can drink a coffe or a beer in the nice beach bar. It was a pleasure to meet Milu and her mother and to stay in her wonderful house. We surely will visit it again!

The chec in process wss very difficult.The person to whom we communicated spoke poor english...however the problem is ...that the address on the site and the address she sent is 20 minutes away in Nazare!!this is very misleading. To compound this...it took 3 hrs in the dark and fog to finally get someone to speak to the host for directions that she would never give me!.I almost gave up and was going to get a hotel...
