Wir wurden von Lucy herzlich mit einem Begrüssungs Geschenkkorb enpfangen. Im Haus war viel mehr als alles notwendige vorhanden. Wir genossen am Abend die Dachterasse. Und brauchten die Klima nur 10minuten um das Haus abends zu kühlen. Da wir Ferien hatten, besuchten wir die tollen Restaurants in Olhão (Favorit O Ignacio) machten Tagesausflüge zu den 3 Inseln, & Barril Tavira.
