Os Reais - Apt in front of the beach in Centeanes

Location, deck space and view was incredible. Hiking and beaches just outside the door. Good living space with the amenities you need.

Was tricky to find at first.

This location is amazing with views of the sea from a very large balcony. There’s two restaurants within 5-10 minutes from the apartment. And the apartment is spacious, well stocked with everything you may need, coffee, wine and cheese and crackers await you when you check I , the hostess has all you could want right there for you. And her service is exceptional, every question and concern she responded to immediately and answered and or resolved the question. The apartment has been updated with newer appliances, updated bathrooms and comfortable beds.you can tell this homeowner takes great care of this place.! There are many trails close by and walking along the cliffs is breathtaking.

The grounds and landscaping around the property are in much needed attention , and the first thing you see as you approach the complex. The empty pool has weeds growing out of cracks and may not have been used in a long time. This is a very large complex and most of the units were empty……Which seemed unusual for such a fantastic location. Entrance to the unit is multi stepped…1st is getting the set of keys from a lock box which is inside the gated parking lot. Then opening the locked fence gate from the parking lot to the inside of the property. After walking down a couple of sets of steps (dark at night) then using another key to get inside the building. The long interior hallways is very dark as no lights are on, but the unit is the first on the left. Another key lets you inside the unit. All this is not a fault of the owner!!!!! It’s just the way the property management has designed. A local mentioned the complex is in bankruptcy , but I can’t confirm that!

The location of the property is excellent. The place is spacious and clean. Great AC and it was great to have a washing machine. The views are spectacular and the trailhead to The Seven Hanging Valleys Trail was right at the parking area. There are many great restaurants near and there is a Spar a 5 minute walk away. The beach in front of the property is beautiful and was never very busy.

I would have liked to have chaise lounge chairs for the patio. There was construction on other flats whilst we were there. Not the fault of the owner but it did get a bit loud at times. The entire property seems to be going through a refresh but Ana’s apartment is perfect.

We loved our stay at Os Reias. The apartment was absolutely beautiful and in an ideal location. It was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. We plan to go back for a longer stay next year. We wish we could live there. Our host, Ana, was responsive and helpful. She gave us clear directions/entry instructions and lots of great recommendations.
