About this property

Chalet in Praia da Arrifana * Aljezur * Costa Vicentina * Portugal

Vila de Baixo is the name of this fabulous Chalet in Arrifana Beach.

Arrifana Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in the municipality of Aljezur. It is located in the Algarve, southwest of Portugal and in the Costa Vicentina Natural Park.

This Chalet has been for many years, and remains, our family's favorite vacation spot.

For us, the present keeps alive the extraordinary moments we live here as a family and it was with the future generations in mind that we decided to make a major refurbishment (completed in June 2016) that allowed the Chalet to have exceptional amenities.

Once a small beach house with no water, no electricity, and poor conditions, it has seen generations of fishermen, surfers, poets, and sailors grow.

It is these generations that continue to maintain the soul and original essence of Vila de Baixo:

- the friendship!

Wunderbare Bucht Arrifana
Die Bucht und der Strand sind sehr, sehr schön. Es waren viele Surfer im Wasser, aber es lief alles sehr entspannt ab. Das Chalet bietet von der Terrasse aus einen wunderbaren Blick über die Bucht. Das Chalet ist sehr sauber und schön eingerichtet. Die Übergabe war sehr angenehm. Manchmal sind die Parkplätze etwas wenig. Aber ein rundum sehr schöner Aufenthalt.

A great stay at Arrifana beach
We really enjoyed our stay in the holiday home with our family. The location of the house is perfect. It is in a cul-de-sac and the walk to the beach only takes a few minutes. The view, as the pictures already show, is really breathtaking and contributes to a good rest. Although the house, actually a semi-detached house, is quite small, it is very well equipped, especially the kitchen. We received a very warm welcome and the contact with the host was very good. We were given lots of useful information on how to get there and the surrounding area, so we always felt that we were in good hands. Unfortunately, we had some bad luck with the parasol. It came loose from its anchorage due to rising winds on the slope, which unfortunately led to damage. The subsequent communication and claims settlement were exemplary. Many thanks for a great stay!

Wunderbare Urlaubswoche
Wir hatten eine wunderbare Urlaubswoche im Mai. Der Ausblick ist fantastisch, es ist sehr ruhig. Ein Kritikpunkt waren die kaputten und unbequemen Sitzmöglichkeiten im Außenbereich. Ansonsten hat es uns an nichts gefehlt. Wir können die Unterkunft auf jeden Fall empfehlen.

Paradise
Very nice sea view, quiet location. You can watch the surfers from 7am to 9pm. The apartment was very clean! and well equipped. Only the grill could have been a bit cleaner. Parking can be difficult during the day, but we always found a solution. The suitcases have to be dragged up quite a bit, but once you arrived it's totally worth it. Some restaurants can be reached via a shortcut on a narrow path.

Fantastischer Ausblick
Wir haben wunderbare 5 Tage in dieser besonderen Unterkunft verbracht und waren traurig, wieder abzureisen. Das Häuschen ist schön eingerichtet und alles war perfekt sauber. Die Kommunikation mit João war super und wir haben uns sehr willkommen gefühlt (Danke auch an Susana, die uns einen sehr späten Check in ermöglicht hat und unglaublich freundlich war). Das Highlight der Unterkunft ist natürlich der fantastische Ausblick. Wir konnten uns nicht satt sehen und nehmen viele schöne Erinnerungen mit nach Hause. Vielen Dank!

Perfekter Urlaub
Optimale Lage der Location, direkt über der Bucht von Arrifana, trotzdem ruhig (nicht direkt an der Straße gelegen)! Die Wellen waren für die Jahreszeit okay, am Wochenende weicht man als Surfer besser an andere Strände aus, je nach Wellenhöhe kann das zwischen 10 und 17 Uhr auch an einem Wochentag sinnvoll sein (extrem viele Surfschulen)

Alles voll im Blick
Toller Urlaub. Das kleine Haus liegt hoch oben über dem Strand von Arrifana und man könnte den ganzen Tag "fernsehen". Im Februar war es noch recht kalt. Der Elektroofen war im Einsatz. Der Kontakt zum Vermieter war von Anfang bis Ende perfekt. Es gab auch gute Tipps für Unternehmungen und zur Ankunft ein Set Getränke.

Wundervolle Ausicht
Wir haben den Aufenthalts in dem kleinen aber gemütlichen Haus sehr genossen. Hervorzuheben ist der wundervolle Ausblick über die Bucht von Arrifana Beach. Kleiner Nachteil ist nur der etwas beschwerliche Weg vom Parkplatz zum Haus. Aber das ist letztendlich der außergewöhnlichen Lage geschuldet. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

We loved it
I can’t recommend this place enough. It’s newly renovated, spotlessly clean, has everything you might possibly need in new or spotless condition. Its at the top of one of the front rows of converted fisherman cottages, which is an ideal location as it’s very private, has amazing views, gets loads of sun and is still just a tiny stroll to the beach. Communication with Joao was excellent too which made it all the nicer.

Amazing location but beware, listing not accurate.
Unfortunately we were disappointed with this property. I was planning on not writing a review, I gave the owner the chance to update the listing so future guests would have the complete picture before arriving. The owner hasn't done this so now I feel the need to inform people myself. The owner seems to be a great guy and the communication was perfect. We even received a partial refund because of our complaints. I don't understand why he hasn't updated this listing.... The location is really stunning, the view will never get old. But this little house is right next to another house. You share the terrace, the larger part with the roof over it (see pictures) is not yours. So depending on your luck you might end up with young surfers right next to you. That means hearing their loud music and not enjoying a quiet relaxing vacation.... The houses share walls so you also hear a lot when you are inside. As you would expect from the photos the inside is really tiny but even with that knowledge we were disappointed again. The bed is extremely small and uncomfortable, it is 1.4m by 1.9m. the shower head is at 1.85m and you can't adjust it. So with all of this in mind please make the right decision for you. If you don't mind having really close neighbors and are under 1.85m tall this might be the dream place for you. The house was very clean and the location is unbelievably great.
