Traditional fisherman's house, a real taste of village life

The house was lovely, everything we needed for a short break. Ideal for a quieter stay lovely local bakery and shop's and a supermarket round the corner. Maria and Jorge were excellent nothing was too much trouble from booking to arrival they made our stay. Would definitely stay here again.

Great Riverside Location!

We really enjoyed our stay. The bedrooms are upstairs and the bathroom is downstairs which wasn’t the optimal arrangement, but the villa is adorable! We loved the table and chairs on the sidewalk and met several friendly passersby. Great property manager even loaned us her umbrella! Thanks for a nice stay!
