Fabulous VRBO
This property was amazing. House was very clean and owner met us upon arrival. He had even started to walk down the road to meet us when we thought we were lost. The view from this house is truly amazing. Pictures could not capture the beauty. House was equipped with everything we needed.

Lovely modern house with a stunning view
We had a lovely week at this very new and modern house. The kitchen is very well equipped, all the furniture is new and there is aircon throughout the whole house.
We had some lovely bbqs sitting on the terrace watching the sunset over hills in the background - what a stunning view!
Location is good - supermarket only 10 minutes drive away, watersports and beach around 15 minutes drive.
Joao and his wife met us on arrival and gave us a warm welcome.

We were welcomed by Rita and Joao, the best hosts you can imagine! The house is absolutely beautiful and superbly equipped, the pool is cool and clean and very refreshing after a hot day. Last but not least, the view is breath taking! Seeing is believing! We must definately return!

Luxuriöse Erholung in den Bergen
Das Haus ist ein Traum, der Pool klasse, Ausstattung perfekt, Sauberkeit hervorragend. Die Vermieter sind super nett und hilfsbereit.
Einzige Nachteile sind die Nationalstraße, die nicht weit unter dem Haus vorbeiläuft (Verkehrsgeräusche sind aber nur schwach zu hören), der Nachbarshund, der auch nachts oft bellt und die sehr schmale Straße, die zum Objekt führt. Bekommt man aber auch gut gelöst.
Absolute Empfehlung sind Spaziergänge zu den verschiedenen Wasserfällen und Bergseen auf der anderen Seite des Flusses. Haben wir leider zu spät so richtig erkannt, was das für Kleinode sind. Man kann sogar unter dem Wasserfall schwimmen, im (nicht zu) kalten, superklaren Wasser. Ein Traum!

Prachtig huis met schitterend uitzicht.
Erg mooi huis, goed geoutilleerd op mooie plek. De omgeving is ook mooi, alleen het huis is enigszins lastig te bereiken via smalle steile weg. Verder top vakantie gehad, verhuurder zeer behulpzaam.

Para repetir sem dúvida!
Além da vista deslumbrante, a casa é incrível. Muito bonita e espaçosa. Os proprietários além de deixarem a casa totalmente equipada tiveram o cuidado de deixar objectos pessoais que tornam a estadia muito mais acolhedora, não foram umas férias normais, sentíamos que era a nossa casa ! Em relação aos proprietários, 10 estrelas, excelente receção e sempre disponíveis, voltarei a repetir ! Obrigado
