Wonderful villa, but in case of not perfect weather, you are very soon in a cloud and has no view and no sun at all

The house is very pleasant and it is a pleasure to arrive in a clean house.
It is situated in a quiet location.
The kitchen with a wood-burning oven does smell of fire. This did not bother us as we did not use it.

Uma ótima propriedade para uns dias em família e com amigos.
Com certeza uma casa onde voltaremos e recomendamos.
O único ponto negativo foi não podermos ter aquecimento da água da piscina.

Superbe villa au calme
La villa est exceptionnelle loin de tout certes, ce qui oblige à faire de la voiture mais c est le jeu. Par contre une fois à la villa le calme et la vue si vous avez la villa du fond. Les couchés de soleil sont incroyables.
L’équipement rien à redire moderne propre et cerise sur le gâteau ménage intermédiaire et final compris dans le prix.
Nous pensons y retourner afin de finir les visites que nous avons pas eu le temps de faire.

Good experience
Well housse, all was ok. No problem. Thank you vers much for the reactivity and of the answer you give us.
Wir haben fünf Wochen in dem Ferienhaus verbracht. Die Lage und der Ausblick auf den Atlantik ist toll, auf jeden Fall wird ein Auto benötigt. Der Service ist super, jede Woche wird gereinigt, auch der Pool. Die Ausstattung in der Küche ist ausreichend, es sind mehr als genügend Töpfe und Pfannen vorhanden.
Wir würden das Haus jederzeit wieder mieten.

Wir waren mit dem Haus sehr zufrieden. Erstens war die Lage unbeschreiblich mit dem Blick aufs Meer und die Ausstattung des Hauses war auch super. Wir hatten ein Kleinkind (1) dabei und hatten nach babybett und hochstuhl gefragt und es hat problemlos geklappt. Mit dem Auto sind wir sehr gut überall hingekommen. Direkt 5 min von dort entfernt sind auch sehr gute Restaurants gewesen. Das Haus war aber mit allem sehr gut ausgestattet gewesen. Jedoch hätten wir uns einen sehr großen Esstisch gewünscht gehabt. Aber auch so war es zu 5. Kein Problem.

A comfortable spacious house for a family or group of friends
Well-equipped, nice, 2-level apartamanet. 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a large living room with a fully equipped kitchen and additionally a room with a grill and a table - a canteen and a summer kitchen in one. The house is situated on the slope, outside the village, so there is complete peace and a feeling of being away from civilization. It was very good for us, because we needed to mute our heads. The only downside is the barking dogs from a small farm, but after 3 days it becomes like a mantra;) We recommend people who do not want to spend time in tourist zones.
