60th Birthday Celebrations!
Property is large and accommodated our group perfectly (10 couples), enabling most to have their own bathroom. Not all rooms have air con, and it would have been helpful to have had a floor plan of the property to enable us to allocate rooms in advance.
The outside space is great and where we spent most of our time, making use of the bbq, pool and hot tub. Helpful outside toilet - an outside fridge would be good to avoid the trips to the kitchen!
Ubers approx €8 for the 10min trip to the marina - good meals at Fat Cats and San Martino.
We ate locally at Mira Campo, cafe Sofimil (great for a coffee, ham & cheese toastie / cake), Sol Nascente (Churrasqueira) for a reasonably priced meal (the garlic prawns were a hit) and also the wine tasting at Qta do Canhoto - all walking distance. There was no welcome folder with local info.
Intermarche is a 10-15min walk and Uber back (€4). We did online shop with Apollonia having been advised that this was the most reliable supermarket.
The kitchen is well equipped but could do with a good set of plastic glasses for outside and some tall glass tumblers for drinks in doors.
The showers aren’t very powerful and need replacing.
We had to ask for more sunbed mattresses, coat hangers and towels (mid week) - knowing the group size this should not have been necessary. Pool towels provided despite being told otherwise!
Pool needs cleaning more than once per week & contact with local agent in advance of trip and during trip would have helped!
