We had a lovely stay in Vila do Conde. Our host was very helpful and quickly addressed any issues or questions that came up. She checked in occasionally to make sure we were doing fine and so was very responsive. Check in was good. She met us and walked us through the apartment explaining appliances house rules and proving information about the area. One point about them in that was surprising was the contract we were asked to sign. There were 2 copies one in Portuguese and a “complimentary “ copy in English. We had never seen this contract before. We stayed in 6 other VRBO properties on this trip however no other host requires we sign a contract at check in. We were a bit nervous given we had not been given a copy to review in advance of check in. We had no idea if the Portuguese document said the same as the English version and yet the English version stated that in case of dispute between the 2 versions, the Portuguese version prevailed. We signed it because we felt our pre check in interactions with the host were all done with integrity. However, as Americans we are by nature suspicious of contracts. This contract was essentially a lease and probably binding. In the future I think it would be helpful to provide the lease at least 60 days before check In so the guest has time to review.

We had such a good time in Filomena’s holiday home. Such a great position and we everything you could need to a great holiday Thank you Trish

We stayed at Filomena's flat which is just off the cost (you can see the see from two windows). The apartment is located on the second floor and was clean and contained everything you need for a longer stay, including washing machine and dishwasher. Both bedrooms are very spacious with storage and the kitchen was fully supplied with pans, pots and everything needed to eat in regularly. The property is located in a very quiet street while being close to amenities, bakery and supermarket. Only thing to be mindful of (in case you are a very light sleeper or are travelling with one) is that in one of the bedrooms you can hear at times the noise of the lift in operation, but again this might not be a problem for most of people. All in all we enjoyed our stay and Filomena's warm hospitality

We had a lovely holiday staying at Filomenas appartment. Our flight times were changed to a later departure time a few weeks before flying, so Filomena and her husband kindly picked us up from airport. As it was around midnight that we arrived at apartment Filomena had been kind enough to have got some provisions in for us , which we were really grateful for.The appartment was lovely, consisting of entrance hall, a comfortable lounge/ dining room, large well equipped kitchen ...both with doors leading to a large balcony. Bathroom with shower cubicle and another bathroom with shower over the bath. 2 good sized bedrooms . The master bedroom had a balcony . Wifi is available.The appartment is across the road from the beach with snack bars and restaurants near. Lidl is just down the road and the town is 10 min walk with bars and restaurants. There is a market on a Friday in the market place (opposite the tourist office)Filomena emailed me in the week to check everything was good and I knew if we did have a problem she would help.I would recommend this appartment to my family and friends and would stay there again.Thank you Filomena it was a pleasure to meet you.
