Sehr schnelles und unkompliziertes Check-In. Freundliche Gastgeberin, die mir ganz kurzfristig ein Zimmer vermietet hat. Das Haus hat eine gut ausgestattete Küche, TV, WIFI (etwas langsam). Bequemes Bett, Sicht auf Pinienbäume, Nähe zum Strand.

Man kann nicht normal auf dem Klo sitzen, weil man sich die Knie am Möbel (unter dem Lavabo) stösst. Die Fugen der Duschkabine haben Schimmelbefall.

The area is just incredible - it is popular but in no way crowded, in the heart of endless pine woods, close to world class beaches. A gorgeous combination of outstanding natural beauty and enough civilisation to get by on. There is a loose network of little hamlets and vacation spots strewn across nature reserves. Alfarim has some restaurants, cafes, grocery shops etc. The house and the staff offer a decent price-quality ratio, we had a good suite for an affordable rate (booked three months in advance). In case you haven't got a car, you depend on the regional bus network, which is all right. Sesimbra is the hub connecting you to Lisbon and Setubal, the cape Espichel and other destinations. Our tip - hike the sandy trails in the area in the shadow of the pines, spend endless hours on the breath-taking beaches, enjoy fresh seafood meals in the old part of Sesimbra, visit the nearby moorish castle. This was a unique rural beach vacation.

No particular issues to report, just beware the limitations in case you've got to rely on the bus for transportation. But the relative seclusion of the place is an essential part of its appeal, practically an asset.

Enjoyed that there was a kitchen and washing machine.

The bathroom didn’t have soap or hand towels. The soap dispenser was there but empty. There was an issue with getting the keys which was time consuming and a bit frustrating. The keys didn’t work well with the locks so we had some security concerns with that.

The room and all the property was nicely cleaned. There are some good restaurants and cafés in the village just five minutes to walk and it’s just two kilometres to an amazing beaches!

The silicone inside and outside the shower was mould and black !!! Come on, how much it a tube of silicone ? Eight euro ?

Location was ideal for the beautiful beaches of this coastline - approx 5 mins by car. The house was adjacent to a field and backing onto sandy pine woods - ideal territory for dog walking. There was also a lovely coffee shop with excellent pastries within the village and a couple of restaurants worth checking out for a Portuguese lunch. We appreciated greatly the upgrade to the family room with terrace given that we had a dog with us. I have no idea how we would have fitted into the smaller twin room otherwise. Sharing a bathroom with two other guests required a change in mindset but worked out fine. Our host offered us a late checkout which also proved to be a great help.

After the first day, and a wifi reset? change in passwords we had a non-existent internet connection for the rest of our stay which unfortunately made communications with our host via international roaming data an unexpected cost. Our host tried to fix it repeatedly and was immensely apologetic but despite being able to connect to a wifi booster there was still no actual internet. We gave up in the end on day three and it was a good reminder not to be so dependent upon technology. Also not a big fan of safe keys and codes - this didn't go smoothly for us and we were without a key for the first day. Thankfully, it's a quiet village and our other house guests were respectful.

Super location. Friendly staff and a super well equipped kitchen. Nice hot shower as well. Had the big room with the balcony which was nice to sit out and watch the world go by.

Only one bathroom, but it wasn't busy so no problems.

The place is very near to the beach, which is spectacular. The place accepts dogs. The place is enclosed, so our dogs could run freely. This is highly appreciated. The bed and pillows are comfortable. Very clean. It has an equipped kitchen with everything one needs. Parking is possible. We had the house for ourselves and it was very quiet at night. The arrival instructions were easy to follow and although we didn’t have the need to ask for a check-in time extension, it was offered in case we couldn’t get out of Lisbon in time due to traffic and roadworks. All excellent.
