Schöner Urlaub

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Wir können uns den Vorbewertungen nur anschließen.Als einzige Einschränkung kann man die Zufahrtsstraße erwähnen. Bei Gegenverkehr gibt es nicht viele Ausweichmöglichkeiten.Aber die Lage ist sehr ruhig und man hat einen sehr schönen Blick auf den Sonnenuntergang

Lombo do Doutor

Hübsches und gut ausgestattetes Ferienhaus. PKW erforderlich. Da die Zufahrtstraße sehr schmal ist, sind kleine PKW von Vorteil. Da Ausweichmanöver erforderlich werden können, sollte eine gewisse Sicherheit im Umgang mit dem Fahrzeug vorhanden sein.

Tolle Unterkunft mit perfekter Umgebung

Die Unterkunft ist sehr modern und wirklich mit allem eingerichtet, was man braucht. Wir wurden vom Verwalter Garry am Supermarkt abgeholt, da der Weg zur Unterkunft tatsächlich etwas abenteuerlich ist und man besser vom Berg herunter fährt für das Einpark Manöver. Die Unterkunft hat eine wirklich tolle Terrasse mit einem schönen Ausblick aufs Meer!! Eine aktive Belüftung für die Bäder wäre gut, da die Feuchtigkeit nach dem Duschen auch bei geöffneten Fenstern noch recht lange in den Räumen verharrte. Ansonsten wirklich ein sehr tolles Apartment in einer schönen Umgebung, die sich für verschiedenste Ausflüge anbietet.

Wohlfühloase

Es handelt sich um ein gepflegtes Haus mit moderner, gemütlicher Ausstattung. Die Terrasse bietet einen weiten Ausblick ins Umland mit Sicht bis zum Meer und einer faszinierenden Sonnenuntergangsszenerie. Die Hausübergabe durch Yvonne und Garry war bestens organisiert, freundlich und absolut unkompliziert. Wir verbrachten zwei wunderschöne Urlaubswochen und fühlten uns in unserem Domizil wie zu Hause. Die Lage des Hauses inmitten einer gewachsenen Ortsstruktur hat ihren besonderen Reiz. Die Anfahrt dorthin ist allerdings anspruchsvoll und durchaus abenteuerlich. Insgesamt können wir dieses Ferienhaus mit bestem Gewissen weiterempfehlen.

Lombo do Dotour

Insgesamt sehr schöne Unterkunft für ein Paar, ungeeignet für Familien. Einrichtig insgesamt gut, auch die Küchengeräte sind vorhanden und gut. Allerdings ist die Küchen-Kleinteilausstattung unzureichend: es wäre schon wenn Dinge wie Salat-Schüsseln, Servirschalen, Kaffeegeschirr vorhanden wären.
