About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
A Ruina Velha - sleeps up to 2
This quaint property is in the most perfect location and has uninterrupted views of the surrounding hills and valleys. A truly tranquil spot yet just a few minutes drive away from fantastic sandy beaches, restaurants, shops and a lagoon surrounded by sand dunes.
This quaint property is very well furnished and equipped with everything we hope you would need to enjoy the perfect holiday.
The bedroom has a King bed which can be separated to twin beds if preferred (you will be sent a form a few days after booking which will enable you to indicate your preference).
The property has the benefit of fibre internet so we would expect you to have good internet speeds but this is of course subject to the service provider.
There is a terrace to the front where you can dine whilst enjoying the sound of cow bells or relax on the hidden private roof terrace which is a suntrap throughout the year.
