Perfect Apartment

My family and I had a great stay at the apartment. Owner could not have been more helpful and accommodating. The apartment had everything we needed and also includes secure underground parking. The photos do not really show how great the apartments location is in terms of access to the beach and the outstanding views it has up and down the coast from 3 different balconies, plus the roof terrace. Sunset views are amazing. My 10-year-old daughter spent hours playing on the beach and swimming. There are also enough small restaurants and cafes with a 10-minute walk to save you having to drive out to eat or cook in the apartment if you don’t want to. I would recommend without hesitation and am looking forward to returning in the future.

Superb flat in excellent location

We loved our stay at this beachfront apartment. The apartment was very comfortable and well equipped with comfy beds and a great shower. Beyong the comfort of the apartment, the location was exceptional with wonderful views from every room out to the sea and the balcony was a great place to enjoy the sunsets! Easy to walk out of the apartment and go straight onto the beach - to walk, rockpool, relax or swim. There is a big supermarket 3km away or local shops. We loved eating at a local restaurant- Caravela. Amazing fish stews and rice dishes. We mostly relaxed at the apartment/ beach but enjoyed taking the Metro into Porto on a couple of days (very easy). Porto is a great city to enjoy! We are very grateful to the host David for arranging an early check in and for being a great host. Highly recommend staying here for a relaxing break. We hope to come back soon!

Amazing apartment right on the beach

We really loved staying at the apartment. It was perfect for us. There were two balconies and a roof terrace all with stunning views.The three bedrooms were spacious and comfortable, with two of them facing the sea. Having two bathrooms was great and the lounge and dining area are very comfortable and nicely decorated. There was everything and more that you could need for a self-catering holiday. The block was very quiet and there was a lift so that my elderly mum did not have to tackle all the stairs. It is in a very quiet neighbourhood however we were able to get around to visit Porto and other norrhern Portugal towns and villages by using Uber and public transport. We had one very special day with the owners family. We walked along the coast both ways on the brilliant boardwalk and visited fishing villages and traditional seaside. I would highly recommend this accomodation and would love to visit again in the future. A great big thank you to David and his family and friends for all their help and quick communication throughout our stay.❤❤

Amazing experience

The apartment is a kind of magic! The overview of the sunset from the balcony (or even from the kitchen and all bedrooms) is something that poets could better describe than me! The host is really accessible and provides all the support needed during our stay. Groceries store is a bit far away from the spot, but this is a minor worry if you are discovering the area all day long / during the winter, the beach in front of the apartment is really exclusive and empty. The apartment, furniture, and assets were super clean on our arrival. It is worth every invested Euro on our booking at this apartment. I recommend it!

Entspannter Urlaub direkt am Meer

Die Wohnung ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet, die Küche mit allem Notwendigen ausgestattet. Für zwei Paare ist sie aufgrund der beiden kleinen Bäder sehr gut geeignet. Wir hatten leider bei unserem Aufenthalt oft regnerisches, stürmisches Wetter, sodass die Wohnung zum Teil sehr ausgekühlt war. Die Kommunikation mit David funktionierte sehr gut. Die Lage direkt am Meer ist an sich top, bei schlechten Wetter benötigt man insbesondere in der Nachsaison ein Auto.

Excellent apartment in Vila cha

Outstanding location on the beach with great sea views, direct beach access on the doorstep. 4th floor with great views and lift. Large, spacious flat with three full bedrooms, two bathrooms each with toilet (one in one of the bedrooms), furnishings as described, very clean and quiet, restaurants/beach bars all within walking distance. Car hire advantageous because of supermarkets and the sights around: Porto, Braga, Gerês National Park etc Very good, fast communication with the owner/manager. We would book again.

Super séjour

L'appartement est vraiment très bien: il ne manque rien, il est très agréable et la vue sur mer depuis toutes les pièces est vraiment un plus. Les literies sont de bonnes qualité. Il est idéalement situé, à 30 min en voiture de Porto ou par métro (gare à proximité). Les plages à proximité sont très belles et très agréables. Il y a des chemins pédestres qui longent la mer, que ce soit vers le nord ou vers le sud. Tout est réuni pour passer un super séjour, alors, n'hésitez pas, vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés.

vacances a villa do conde

Semaine très agréable et appréciable dans cet appartement situé face à la mer. Toutes les pièces donnent sur l'océan. Endroit très reposant et assez accecible à une grande surface et quelques boutique et surtout avec la possibilité de prendre le métro pour se rendre à Porto pour visiter cette belle et grande ville. Le seul bémol et que nous n'ayons pas était informé que la machine à laver se trouver à l'étage, à savoir pour les prochain vacanciers.
