Great House but……
Great space, and communication with the owner was also great. When we arrived the agent let us in and did a quick walk round....the place smelt very musty. We opened every window and door (and screen) to air the house, but was surprised that if it had been cleaned recently, we would have smelt the detergent used? Anyway...to the bedrooms to unpack...again everywhere smelt musty, and the beds felt damp (I appreciate it was April, but I didn't rent the house thinking it would be my responsibility to 'air' it and dry it out?) Anyway, the house has everything you could need, space, full kitchen, fantastic games room, pool etc. Later that afternoon, I realised you had to pay extra to get the pool heated, so i contacted George who arranged for the guy to come round that evening and switch the pool heating on (great service) for 195 euro's for the week, small price to pay in April for a heated pool. However, even when we left the following Saturday, it was still freezing cold, and would have taken your breath away, and given we didn't need the AC on at all, would have thought the heated pool should be a free alternative?? Anyway, aside from the musty smell, that was still there when we left, and the feeling of dampness everywhere, we had a great time, the location is ideal, only 7 euro's in an Uber to the marina, the local bakery is amazing (if you find it!) and you will need to hire a car, although a decent Pingo Doce supermarket is a walk away. Enjoyed it, yes, would I go back, NO
