Rita’s place in Sao Martinho was amazing. It is a beautiful house and yard in a great location. Rita helped us to check in early and left us some great wine at the house!

Right from check in, it felt like we were staying at a friend of the family’s vacation home. The host was very accommodating and it was very sweet of them to leave us some local products as a welcome gift. The house was clean, spacious and the yard was beautiful. The kitchen was well equipped, and the house had plenty of space for our group of 7. We appreciated the small inflatable pool for the kids in the yard and beach toys. The house is in a great location and is a short walk to the beach, restaurants and shops. Occasionally we did find it hard to find parking near the house but spots often did open up as the day went on. The beds weren’t overly comfortable but the bedrooms were large and the house was nicely spread out so the kids could nap on the top floor while the adults could still enjoy the yard downstairs. It was nice to have a washer and drier available during the stay. We unknowingly booked our stay during a local festival that lasts 2 weeks in June. It was nice to take advantage of the local food & market vendors but the night concerts were very loud and went on until about 1am. Not to the fault of the host, but I wanted to mention for anyone visiting in June in the future. The town itself was charming, the large bay was great for swimming with our young kids. There are tons of day trips within 1-1.5 hours away, we always found a lot to do. Thank you Rita & Fatima for the lovely stay!

Nice house, with an amazing backyard with a view of the ocean. 3-5 minutes walk from the beach an many restaurants.

The house, location, and owner were all terrific.
