Everything you need in a studio apartment. Beautiful garden, pleasant community. Attentive host, but lots of privacy. 8 minutes drive to the town and beach.The only negative is the road can be a bit noisy during busy times. Also, if you use electric heater or dehumidifier there is a metered charge.
Very nice owner (Romi). Clean, well-maintained apartment. TV with many english news and movie channels. Good wifi. Grocery stores are nearby (less than 5min by car). Nice garden and sitting area outside. Fully equipped kitchen (but no oven). No laundry machine but you can wash by hand and dry outside. To find... do a search on google maps for "Rua de Vilamar, Porches". Well worth it.
True to the name, this is a very cozy studio. The host, Rufiana (I hope I spelt that correctly) was extremely responsive and was able to check us in early. Upon arrival she showed us the apartment & gave us a map of the surrounding areas & town and even gave us suggestions on which local markets to shop at & restaurants to dine in.
The studio is far enough away from the tourist spots where itâs a great place to sit in the shade and kick your feet up after being outside all day. But itâs close enough where youâre only about a 10 minute drive to Armação de PĂȘra, Benagil cave tours, and the Seven Hanging Valley hike points. The highway is right past the wall barricading the premises but to be honest the noise didnât bother us throughout the night and it still felt very safe. Will definitely look at staying here again on the next go around!
