Ancora holiday
Amazing location, really rural and unspoiled. Easy walk to town centre and beach. Plenty to see and do. We spent many days just staying around the house - the grounds, river, swimming pool and hot tub were all great. Some of the furniture and fixtures and fittings are a bit tired, but perfectly serviceable.

2 semanas de puro descanso
Mal entramos nos portões somos invadidos por uma sensação de bem estar e alívio, parece que entramos num outro mundo. Nenhuma fotografia consegue demonstrar a grandeza e beleza da propriedade e envolvencia...éramos 14, dos 0 aos 87 anos, todos aproveitámos a propriedade à sua maneira...na piscina, no jacuzzi, ao sol, à sombra, no jardim, a jogar volei, nas canoas, nas bicicletas, a descobrir a fauna e flora ou simplesmente a descansar e ouvir o chilrear dos passarinhos..muito bem servido nas redondezas (supermercados, farmácias, restaurantes,...) e muito bem localizado, com uma variedade enorme de praias e locais a visitar. Saliento também a disponibilidade de proprietario. Enfim...foram 2 semanas muito bem passadas.

Fantastisk
Flott uteområde, med rikelig plass til at voksne og barn kunne være i aktivitet. Volleyballnettet var flittig i bruk. Mange rom, så man kunne trekke seg tilbake ved behov.

Large villa in a beautiful setting.
The villa is ideal for a family get together, it accommodated 16 of us, 9 adults and 7 children. There was lots of outside space, beautiful grounds, and lots of activities to entertain the children. It is near to the coast with pretty seaside villages and good restaurants. The villa itself is in need of a little TLC which in a way lessened the worry of accidental damage by 7 children. Bedding etc spotless, pool very safe for children, less appealing to adults, and all in all we had a wonderful time. One word of warning, do not hire a large car, the access is very very narrow and I mean very very narrow. It is walled all the way down and there is literally inches either side. We managed ok until the last day and scraped 2 cars, we had extra insurance so fortunately it didn’t cost us.
