Two surprises! Firstly, it really is a 5-7 minute stroll to the beach, and secondly the pool isn't shared!
This is a perfect villa if you prefer not to be in the bustle of a busy resort, the beach is clean, quiet, sandy and even has lifeguards. The villa is really well equipped with books, games and plenty of tableware which means that you can run the dishwasher with a clear conscience. There is a good Intermarche in Budens, a short drive away. Rosie and Tiago (who meets and greets) could not be more helpful, and the locals are very friendly even if you don't speak any Portuguese! Wholeheartedly recommend.
