The house is at the far end of a small private condominium, set away from the road and any noise. It is the ideal choice for Those looking for romance, the perfect surfing spot, to explore the Rota Vicentina (Whether by foot, bike or on horseback), or simply to relax and enjoy the beaches and the beauty of nature.

Fantastic beach spot!
We loved our three night stay here. The well appointed unit is modern with character, cozy and comfortable. The location on a gorgeous beach with easy access to hiking on the cliffs overlooking the beach make this a perfect vacation place. The owner is prompt and responsive. We HIGHLY recommend this unit as an ideal base for exploring the best of the western Algarve.

Das perfekte Haus am schönsten Ort der Welt
Das Haus ist wunderschön und unglaublich kreativ und praktisch eingerichtet. Wir haben hier zu viert einen sehr schönen Urlaub verbracht. Die Betten sind sehr bequem, die Küche gut ausgestattet und die Terrasse genau richtig um Abends noch ein Gläschen Wein zu verköstigen. Wir waren bereits zum fünften Mal in Carrapateira. Immer in den Reihenhäusern zu dem auch Gonzalos gehört. Allerdings hat uns dieses bisher am meisten zugesagt. Klare Empfehlung. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Fehler in der Beschreibung
schönes, gut eingerichtetes Häuschen in Strandnähe. ABER: die in der Beschreibung erwähnten Fahrräder hat es nie gegeben und leider war kein Blick von der Terrasse Richtung Dünen wegen einer zu hohen, ungepflegten Hecke möglich! Preis/Leistung stimmt nicht (bei diesem Preis müßte ein Pool dabei sein)!

Wirklich gemütlich und sehr gut eingerichtet
Das Haus ist sehr gut eingerichtet und wirklich gemütlich. Wir haben jeden Morgen auf der Terrasse gefrühstückt und den vögeln zugehört. Zum perfekten Sundowner (je nach Wetter) sind es mit dem Auto nur wenige Minuten. Die Lage ist wunderbar ruhig, so dass wir wirklich ausschlafen konnten. Alles perfekt!

Mooie plek
Heerlijke woning. Goed bed en lekker dicht bij stranden. Wij hadden last van zeemist, maar binnen een kwartier ben je richting Lagos en kom je zonnige strandjes tegen. Heerlijk!

Tolles Beach cottage
das kleine Haus liegt nur einen kurzen Fußmarsch vom Strand entfernt - die Umgebung ist sehr ruhig und fernab des Massentourismus. Das Häuschen ist super ausgestattet mit allem, was man im Alltag braucht: dazu gehören Küchenutensilien, Apple TV und Internet, Kaffeemaschine, ein gemütlicher Wohn- und Essbereich, ein sauberes Bad mit Handtüchern, Fön und Handseife und ein gemütliches Schlafzimmer. Die Kommunikation zum Vermieter verlief einwandfrei - Carlos war sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich. Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen!

Schönes reihenhaus in Strandnähe
Das Häuschen hat einen tollen Charme, einfach aber schick und mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Strand ubd Restaurants sind zu Fuß leicht zu erreichen. Man kann das Meer rauschen hören. WLAN hat gut funktioniert, Küche gut ausgestattet, Parkplatz direkt vor Tür. Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit. Empfehlenswert!

Wunderschöne Ferienwohnung
Wer eine Lage außerhalb des Massentourismus zu schätzen weiß ist hier genau richtig. Die Wohnung ist nahe des Strandes gelegen und die Küste ist atemberaubend schön. Die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter Gonzales war sehr gut und unkompliziert. Können wir nur empfehlen. Markus & Claudia
