The condo is very comfortable, well-equipped and beautifully located with a view of the sea. The underground parking is convenient, and there are plenty of restaurants & cafes within walking distance. We especially enjoyed the Casa Blanca. The manger is friendly, helpful and easy to communicate with.

Outstanding Apartment with amazing view

From arrival to departure we (2 senior couples) were thrilled with the apartment, the ocean view and convenience to restaurants, groceries and transportation. Restaurants and groceries are available within walking distance. Public buses to Porto are available on the same street some 5 - 10 minutes walk from The apartment. The apartment was spotless and kitchen is well equipped. Communication with Marcos was excellent.

Modern apartment on seafront

Comfortable apartment on first floor of a modern apartment block near bars and restaurants and 10 minutes by car from a large shopping mall. The apartment is quite well equipped for a holiday stay and has a bathroom and a separate shower room. It should be noted, however, that the apartment is not suitable for anyone with mobility problems due to the beds and settee being very low and the configuration of the bathroom and shower room. There is a large parking space in the underground carpark with easy access. The apartment faces the sea although the view of the sea is partially blocked by trees on the seafront across the road. Although the owners advertisement states that the apartment shows little signs of wear and tear this may have been true some years ago but some of the furniture now needs to be renewed and the bathroom had some black mould around the bath. The owner did mention that he was comsidering replacing the bath with a shower which could help to make the apartment more disabled friendly.

Vue superbe !

Appartement au 1er étage, avec 2 terrasses, offrant une superbe vue directe sur l'océan. Situé dans un quartier très agreable et calme, idéal pour faire des balades a pieds, a vélo sur les pistes longeant la plage. Le centre de Porto est accessible en bus (comptez une petite heure) ou Uber pour 5 €. L'appartement est très agreable avec un équipement complet.

Urlaub wie er sein sollte

Marcos hat uns gut in die Wohnung eingeführt, alles wie im Inserat beschrieben vorgefunden. Abreise ging völlig problemlos. Die Lage genial, die Schlafzimmer nach hinten raus dadurch sehr ruhig zum schlafen. Wir hatten leider Pech mit dem Wetter aber dafür kann niemand etwas. Falls wir nochmals in diese Gegend kommen sollte. Dann wieder hierher.
