Nice house but dangerous outdoors area
Overall a nice property, however the outdoor area is very dangerous. The tiles around the pool is very slippery when wet, the edge of the pool very sharp. We had a couple of injuries in the week we spent there. We stopped using the pool and outdoor shower altogether because it is so dangerous. If you are looking for a relaxing holiday then this house is not for you.

Nice property, great stay
Our family of five (two adults, three children) really enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and tidy with everything we needed. The pool was great, and the beach (with lifeguard) really is just at the end of the road. Restaurants and shops are a short walk away and the supermarket in Esponsende is about a 10 minute drive. Porto, Braga, Ponte de Lima, and other places to visit are all around a 30-40 minute drive. No hesitation to recommend the property!

Super house, great beach front location, very clean and well equiped. Lovely pool. Friendly owner.
Great house for our family (2 adults and 3 young children). Easy to find. Approximately 40 minutes drive from Porto Airport. Greeted in person by the friendly owner Raquel. Much better than it looks in the photos. Spacious living area and bedrooms. Very clean. Immaculate outside space and pool. Well equipped kitchen. Felt very safe. Beautiful beach at the end of the road. Off street parking. Not many foreign tourists around, lots of Portugese at the beach. Lifeguard at the beach. Supermarkets within 5 minutes drive.

Sehr schönes, großes Haus nicht weit vom Strand
Kurze Wege zum Strand und zu den Restaurants. Schönes, großes Haus mit fast allem, was man braucht. Leider war der Pool nicht beheizt, so dass das Wasser etwas frisch war und der ständige Wind lud nicht zu Verweilen im Garten ein. Leider fehlen auch Gartenmöbel, um in der Sonne frühstücken zu können. Es gibt aber einen überdachten Grill und dort auch Möbel, um an warmen Tagen draußen im Schatten zu sitzen. Leider war es bei uns dafür zu kalt. Raquel hat uns sehr nett empfangen und uns alles zum Haus erklärt. Zur Begrüßung gab es auch Portwein und andere Getränke. Insgesamt kann man das Haus für den Sommer empfehlen. Leider war es bei uns Anfang September nicht mehr richtig warm.

1er sejour au portugal
L'accueil par les propriétaires s'est bien passé , la maison tout confort , mais quelques détails a revoir (abattants, douchettes). Situation proche des plages mais leurs abords sont sales...il aurait été bon de savoir que le parc en face de la maison accueille du lundi au vendredi toute la journée les centres de loisirs des enfants des environs (ambiance cour d'école toute la journée ).

It was such a pleasure to stay one week in this awesome house. Raquel was super friendly and helped us with every question we had. The house was amazing. Everything you need and more! Also the beach 80 meters away was amazing. With Porto 30 minutes away you have one of the most beautiful Citys in europe right around the corner. We will come back for sure ❤️

Ein tolles Haus in super Lage !
Wir haben eine superschöne Zeit in diesem großartigen Haus verbracht. Die Zimmer sind alle sehr schön und es gibt genügend Stauraum in den Schränken.Die Küche ist perfekt ausgestattet uns fehlte es an nichts. Die Vermieterin Raquel ist sehr nett und hat uns sofort geholfen, als wir krankheitsbedingt einen Arzt brauchten. Auch war Sie jederzeit für uns erreichbar und sehr hilfsbereit. Die nähe sind Strand ist einfach großartig und es gibt gute Restaurant in der Nähe die alle Fussläufig zu erreichen sind. In einem kleinen Supermarkt gibt es Brötchen und jeden Tag frisches Brot. Wir können dieses Haus und die Vermieterin nur empfehlen. Ein kleiner Punkt der Verbesserung wäre, ein paar Haken im Badezimmer und etwas mehr Ablagemöglichkeit. Aber das ist jammern auf hohen niveau.

Schönes Haus, schwierige Kommunikation
Alles in allem ein tolles Haus, beide Schlafzimmer haben ein eigenes Bad. Sehr schön und modern eingerichtet. Sehr geschmackvoll. Leider hatten wir während unseres Aufenthalts 4 mal Stromausfall. Dazu kam dass der Gärtner 2 Stunden auf dem Nachbargrundstück mit der Kettensäge gearbeitet hat. Das war zwar angekündigt, aber als Poolreinigung und nicht als komplette Gartenarbeit auf 2 Grundstücken. Das hätte man doch besser zu einem anderen Zeitpunkt machen können. Was sehr bedauerlich war, dass die Kommunikation sehr sehr schwierig war. Entweder wir haben uns was eingebildet laut Vermieterin ( Länge der Gartenarbeit) oder wir haben am Stromkasten falsch gehandelt ( was soll man machen wenn man kocht und Strom braucht?) darüber hinaus haben wir uns entweder was eingebildet oder was falsch verstanden. Ich finde dass man als Dienstleister sich anders dem Gast gegenüber aufstellen muss. Wir haben schließlich Urlaub gebucht und wollten nicht durch Kettensägenlärm und Kindergeschrei von gegenüber liegenden Freizeitpark gestört werden. Wie schon mal in einer anderen Bewertung hier geschrieben, Erholung und Freundlichkeit ist was anderes. Ich bin mir sicher dass auch ein Kommentar kommt, dass das ja alles so nicht stimmt. Das ist in so fern schade als dass wir fünf das so empfunden haben und wir was die Kommunikation angeht leider enttäuscht sind. Aber wie gesagt, das Haus ist schön und der Außenbereich auch. Ist aber ein Reihenhaus. Als Tipp: bitte mehr Ablageflächen im Bad schaffen.

Super!
Wir waren rundum zufrieden in diesem tollen Ferienhaus. Bei unserer Anreise hat Raquel uns bereits erwartet. Bei Fragen, die im Verlauf aufgekommen sind, hat sie stets freundlich und schnell geantwortet. Die Räume des Hauses sind großzügig und gut aufgeteilt. Alle Bereiche sind sauber und gepflegt. Die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet. Pool uns Außenbereich sind super! Sämtliche sehenswerte Orte sind in maximal 1h mit dem Auto zu erreichen. Große Supermärkte sind in knapp 10min erreichbar. Der Strand ist 5 Gehminuten entfernt. Wir haben einen tollen Urlaub bei Raquel verbracht!

Nice holidays
We enjoyed 2 weeks at the end of july in Apulia, where the temperatures were about 20-25°C and ocean 17°C. The house was very comfortable, equipped with all we needed, free WiFi and close to the beach and Apulia centre (15 min walk). The pool is great, we had barbecue twice and have been out for dinner several times. Sometimes a bit windy and cold to stay outside. All in all nice holidays.
