An absolutely beautiful and unique house and property. Can’t beat the view from the back patio overlooking the valley down to the ocean. Check-in and communication with Gaspar was easy and very responsive.
We wanted a space to work during the week and then explore from at the weekend. The accommodation gave us what we needed. The layout - 4 levels - took a little getting used to.
My wife and I try to stay away from tourism craziness and experience a place that would be considered part of the community we are visiting. This place achieved that. The house was in a quiet area with awesome views of the ocean and a short distance from Town and Beaches. Walkable to both. The house was equipped with all the necessities of home making our trip 5 star. I recommend this place to anyone looking for the same

Happy time with 5 Friends - 40 years after our first Trupp to Portugal....we did the same things like 40 years ago- hiking , swimming, relaxing. A beautiful Place to do so
The house and the garden are wonderful, we felt "at home" and welcome from the first minute and enjoyed every day of the stay. We met the owners twice, very nice people. Gaspar from GAL waited for us to give us the keys, gave us all helpful informations and told us about a few nice places to visit.
We enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere and the nice sitting places in and around the house and the nice view over the hills to the ocean. In the kitchen we found what ever we needed to cook for ourselves.
We had a great time and would love to come back, maybe with friends, as there is enough room for up to six people.

T was volkomen tot rust komen op dit prachtige plekje. Heerlijk huis, van alle gemakken voorzien. Keuken goed
uitgerust! Tuin is een zaligheid, alle privacy die je wenst, diverse stranden in de buurt. Ook lopend te doen, wel flinke wandeling. Kunnen dit van harte aanbevelen. Tip: huur elektrische fietsen, met 10 minuten op t strand en geen parkeerstress.
Eigenaren allervriendelijkst
