Not suitable for winter stay
The location of the flat is great, beach, ocean and breathtaking cliffs as well as wonderful walks along the coastside directly accessable from the flat.There are only two rooms with windows, three rooms (1 bedroom and both bathrooms) are without any window. There is not really a heating facility, only the turned-around air condition which makes it warm within seconds, but the warmth is also gone within seconds. The flat is cold with high humidity. We stayd mid December to mid January, so flat may be ok in summer times, but definitely not in winter times. In one windows-less room a dehumidity machine was running - and it was full every day. Additionally, we had a lot of trouble with warm water which was not available for days. After some contacts with the agency, plumbers have been sent and fixed it. Kitchen is poorly equipped, no oven (no cake, no pizza, ...), cooking facility ok, but sharp knifes, slicing knifes, knife for slicing bread etc. are missing, pans and pots ok, cutlery ok. No laundry rack available, you can't dry your towels and/or bathing cloth on the terrace, inside nothing drys due to the humidity problem. No cleaning facilities (broom, hoover, ...) are available, so you can't clean the flat during a longer stay.

Gut, aber.....
Die Unterkunft ist eigentlich für 4 Personen nicht geeignet. Ein Schlafzimmer hat weder Fenster noch Lüftung, für 4 Personen gibt es 1 2-er Sofa.

Gran descubrimiento
No habíamos hecho expectativas pero nos ha encantado la zona, las playas, el alojamiento… solo una EGA, el segundo dormitorio no tenía ventana exterior.

Lastima pero decepcionante
La habitación sin ventana no es normal aunque estaba avisada. Es impresentable que los malos olores del baño salgan al pasillo del apartamento por lo que van a toda la vivienda. Estuvimos más de dos días lavandonos la cara y los dientes en el fregadero de la cocina por estar no usable el lavabo del baño y tardaron en resolver la incidencia. El último día sin agua caliente, supongo que se agotó al llegar más huéspedes a otros apartamentos

BEL EMPLACEMENT
Logement très propre et belle vue. Il faudrait investir dans la literie et un canapé. dommage qu'il n'y ait pas de fenêtre dans la première chambre. Attention pour les ados pas de réseau téléphonique mais possibilité de se connecter au wifi quand ça fonctionne.

Beautiful accommodation with great sea view, but with a few problems.
The apartment was beautiful, had a great location and the view was definitely worth its price. The furnishing of the apartment was simple but completely sufficient, however, the dishwasher was missing in the kitchen which was not previously visible in the pictures. For this reason, we often had to leave dishes in the kitchen, which is why we had quite a few ants. Unfortunately, the wifi has not really worked well, again and again you had to reconnect on the phone or you had the bad luck and it has not connected for a while. The view on the terrace was a dream as well as the bathroom and the beds. Also in the kitchen everything worked fine and we would love to come back when the problems were fixed.

Ruhige Lage mit herrlichem Ausblick
Man landet im Westen von Portugal zwischen den zwei kleinen, noch recht ursprünglichen kleinen Orten Salema und Burgau. Restaurants in ausreichender Zahl vorhanden. Nette Strände. Die Wohnung ist sehr schön, hat eine tolle Terasse und heizt sich nicht auf, weil sie im Souterrain liegt. Was uns nicht klar war, unsere Tochter aber nicht gestört hat, ein Schlafzimmer hat kein Fenster! Im Wesentlichen ist die Wohnung recht ruhig, wenn nebenan geduscht wird, hört man das aber deutlich. Würde ich ingesamt aber noch mal buchen.

Feiner Platz
….leider hatte der 2. Schlafraum kein Fenster und war extrem muffig…. Zum Glück haben wir ihn nicht benötigt. Ansonsten sehr empfehlenswert.
