Vale de Figueira : locations de vacances

After a week of hotel stays it was so nice to decompress in a home and do laundry! It was just the 2 of us and the space was much more than enough. A bigger party would be very comfortable. Appreciated the welcome email which included instructions on how to use all the appliances. Request- add in a true American coffee maker. The fact that the home is completely updated added to our comfort level. There are great spaces to relax and we enjoyed what the home offered and loved the showers. This location in Central Portugal is in a sleepy hood. There is a corner market but it doesn’t offer much. Arriving late, we were able to get a few essentials for our first morning such as milk & bananas. The 2 towns we decided to day trip to were Coimbra & Aveiro. Both are approximately 1 hour away. While it was a bit farther than I hoped, it was a nice chance to see the countryside & the A17 is so easy to drive. We were quite impressed with the freeways. Would consider a return with more guests!

Beautiful house by the beach! We loved the peace and the view. The house is very comfortable and has a lot of charm (and a lovely little library). The kitchen especially is well-stocked. Since you’re surrounded by nature there are many spiders, snakes and lizards (mostly outside, thankfully). We visited in November and the temperature in the house really dropped at night (from 20C to 15C). The only option to heat is a small and somewhat noisy space heater, so if you visit in winter be prepared with warm clothes. That was the only thing we found difficult during an otherwise extremely pleasant stay. Pedro was a very friendly and engaged host!

Todo genial,María una persona muy agradable.Volveremos seguro

This was a really cute and nice place. It was as showed in the pictures, even a pooltable! The house is clean with a cozy fire place we used a lot because it was winter. The garden very beautiful and big. Though the outside area and pool is shared with another place on the same property, which was no problem for us but might should be taken into account. The surroundings are stunning, perfect for some peaceful time in nature.

This house worked out very well for two families with kids. It's very big and spread out with lots of sleeping options. There's a tiny bit of wear and tear and we did have to buy/bring all of our own basic kitchen supplies like spices, oils, sugar, salt and pepper, toilet paper, paper towels, shower soaps. But we loved that the house provided beach supplies like chairs, boogie boards, and umbrellas and yoga mats. Nothing much in walking distance but several excellent beaches and places to eat within a few miles. The pool and ping pong table were fantastic and we would definitely recommend this place for a group of travelers. We had a fabulous time. :-)

Wir waren mit zwei Familien dort und alle hatten viel Platz. Die Aussicht auf den Ozean ist klasse und zwei schöne Strände in weniger als 5 Minuten mit dem Auto zu erreichen. Die Kommunikation mit João war einfach und schnell. Toll war auch der Obstkorb mit dem wir begrüßt wurden. Lediglich die Feuchtigkeit und die Ameisen im Haus bei der Ankunft, waren nicht optimal, haben uns aber auch nicht weiter gestört und lagen wohl auch an der Jahreszeit zu der wir gereist sind. Wir würden auf jeden Fall wieder kommen. Danke João :)

A casa corresponde exatamente às fotos. A piscina estava realmente aquecida, o que é sempre uma surpresa positiva (muitas vezes o anúncio promete piscina aquecida mas depois não se concretiza). A casa estava muito bem preparada para receber oito hóspedes, a nível de zonas de convívio, louça e toalhas. Mas seria útil ter uma casa de banho com chuveiro extra. A comunicação com o host foi muito fácil. Pudemos ter um late check out a um preço bastance acessível. A zona de São Martinho do Porto é lindíssima, e muito perto da casa tínhamos vistas fantásticas para a baía.

More than perfect! We enjoyed these days in a stylish house, which had all the necessary amenities. The location is just wonderful, quiet and private with no neighbors, very close to the ocean. Electric bikes were a nice bonus for leisure. We really enjoyed it and would like to come back again someday! P.s. Special thanks for the excellent communication and with the help of a forgotten thing, we really appreciate it!
