Owner profile
About the owner
We are David and Elizabeth. We both enjoy Portugal but were looking for somewhere a little less commercial and British than the Algarve. We found this on the wonderful Silver Coast. Unfortunately we have to work otherwise the apartment in Foz would be occupied by us year round.
