Monte da Azinheira Nova (New Azinheira Hill)
Really beautiful and well kept apartment in a peacefull area. Pedro is very friendly and helpful, we got good tips from him about restaurants etc. What a great week!

Studio Blue Lagoon
We were delighted with our stay. Miguel responded to each of our requests. Very nice accommodation. Very quiet Parking in front of the house. Really, everything was perfect.

Casa da Gaiola: Stunning valley view and privacy
Monte West Coast’s Casa da Gaiola is a gem. Beautiful grounds and very close to the nearby beaches and towns. Quiet and pleasant. Catarina is an amazing host and anyone would be lucky to experience this place.

SeaHouseNature
We had a great stay in the cabin among the orange trees. The place is very private and the place charming, with everything you will need. We stayed 5 nights which allowed us to visit the beaches/surroundings by car. Go there without so much as a second thought. And don't miss the sunsets on the beaches of Porto Covo.

Ahua Portugal
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Ahua Portugal, where our host Anne guided us with thoughtful local tips and quick responses. Nestled on a peaceful hillside above Seixe Valley, the modern house had every comfort we needed and felt like the perfect retreat. We were deeply inspired by Anne’s dedication to the land. She has led a reforestation project across her 18-hectare estate, planting over 30,000 cork trees to restore the forest after wildfires. Tip: Do plan to bring a reliable car. The unpaved access roads are best navigated with a vehicle that has good clearance. If you’re seeking a serene, private getaway with a caring, responsive host deeply connected to her land, Ahua Portugal is an exceptional choice! Five stars all the way, and thank you, Anne!

Quinta do Barranquinho, Tiny House San Luis
We spent 4 perfect days at Christoph's house. The house had everything we needed, very well designed, working in a super practical way. Christoph was one of the best hosts we've had in similar experiences. Super friendly, flexible and full of good stories to share. We recommend it 200% and we will definitely come back.

Apartments Maia - V.N.Milfontes
Fatima is a lovely host. Her place was genuine Portuguese, an experience not to be missed. For me the bed was too hard, but that’s personal choice. Location is excellent in the town, very quiet and peaceful, yet right at the centre of everything, very walkable. Your outside space is kind of shared as she lets 3 units all using the same inner courtyard for everyone’s access as well as your own outside chairs & table. Super cute doggy waiting for cuddles if you want them too!

Sea & Sky Nest
The location was perfect, nice and quiet, walking distance to the beach, ideal for a couple. The hostess was really nice, super friendly, easy to communicate with and made us feel very welcome. We were also given great tips of interest to visit locally. The accommodation was true to the photos on-line. We really enjoyed our stay and can highly recommend.
