We had an awesome stay in this lovely villa. Organisation, Check-in, Communication and a nice chat was super good with the host Kate. It’s perfect for a group of 6 and probably is for a group of 8. The kitchen has everything and so do the rooms. Even towels for the pool/beach. Area-vise you get around perfectly by car. Arrifana, Aljezur, nice beaches but also Sagres and Lagos are reached very well! Only can recommend!
