Splendide maison de caractère très spacieuse, aménagée avec goût, cuisine parfaitement équipée. Les enfants ont adoré le jardin où ils ont pu jouer à cache a cache. Plage toute proche avec possibilité de faire du surf. Une piscine naturelle est également disponible dans le village. Porto est à une heure de route. Un magnifique séjour !
