Wonderful rustic charm

Such a charming property in a beautiful, unspoiled region. We loved being in the countryside just outside Melides. Great pool and outside space with fantastic beaches and resturants nearby. Host was super attentive and gave us excellent local tips. Highly recommend!

Casa muito gira e funcional, bem equipada e decorada, e com áreas exteriores (jardim e piscina) muito agradáveis, a 5 km de Melides, com várias praias a cerca de 15 min. e boa oferta de restaurantes nas imediações - local perfeito para uma bela semana de praia em familia (ou com amigos)

Boa localização e muito bem decorada

Casa decorada com muito bom gosto, de fácil utilização e com uma piscina generosa. Está situada numa estrada muito bonita de pinheiros mansos e sobreiros, e com trânsito quase inexistente. Casa colocada à disposição dos clientes com os utensílios básicos para que possa ser utilizada (papel, sabão, café, panos, água, temperos, ... - além do normal que são as toalhas de balho e lençois) e com uma garrafa de vinho de oferta. Dono sempre disponível para qualquer dúvida/problema que tivéssemos. Como aspeto menos bom, apenas é de referir a limpeza da piscina que poderia estar melhor e que, segundo o dono, se deveu a um problema momentâneo no sistema de aspiração.

Casa confortable en un entorno excepcional.

Estupenda experiencia: la casa está bien equipada y con gusto. La piscina y el jardín están cuidados y la vista es espectacular: se divisa el mar mientras estás rodeado de alcornoques y olivos. Los dueños encantadores y cercanos.
