This is a small but lovely apartment. It is spotlessly clean and beutifully decorated. Maria-Luisa who is taking care of the apartment is a wonderful person who made us feel very welcome. O rosal is a small lovely village with a small square with restaurants and a beautiful river. The area is surrounded by wineyards and a short drive fr.o.m. Portugal that we highly recommend to visit. Carminha is a beutiful little portuguese town and the medival festival we visited there was amazing and the children loved it! Fortaleza is another lovely portuguese village perfect for lunch and shopping high quality towels and bedlinen. Playa ancora is great for surfing and perfect for kids. We spent three weeks in malpica de bergantinos (costa da morte) and a week in o rosal. That was a perfect holiday and we really look forward to visit this area again! The houseowners Luisa and Carlos are always avalible on phone and gave us really good tips for exploring the area! A wonderful vacacion!
