    This was by far the most beautiful place we stayed in portugal! Great location, quiet, and a beautiful colorful artsy apartment with balcony. Andreia gave us the sweetest reception ever and also helped us figure out some details of our trip. We arrived by bike and there is a storage rooms where the bikes can be kept safely.
