Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Petra H. 21 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Algarve pur Wir haben uns im Haus wohlgefühlt, Dario war ein sehr netter und zuvorkommender Hausherr, der sehr bemüht um unser Wohl war. Es gab ein kleines Lärmproblem mit einer Jugendgruppe, die im Nachbarhaus untergebracht war, ebenfalls bei Dario. Dario war sehr bemüht für Ruhe zu sorgen. Das Haus selbst ist genau wie im Internet beschrieben, Toplage und die Küche bietet alles, was das Herz begehrt. Sehr nett fanden wir die Dachterrasse, auf der wir gefrühstückt haben, und die überdachte, schattige Laube, in der wir uns in der Siesta aufhielten. Im Haus selbst ist eine eher steile Treppe, die in den oberen Stock führt, bei Kleinkindern ist also Vorsicht geboten. Der Strand ist super zu Fuß in 5 min zu erreichen, Restaurants und Lebensmittelgeschäft sind ebenfalls leicht zu erreichen. ##### Petra H. Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marie P. 26 Jul 2018 #### Coela Beach Property Property great location . Well equipped and spotlessly clean and furnished with lovely antique Portuguese furniture. But first self catering place ever stayed where was expected to pay for hire of towels and bed linen !! Thought that bit much as rent for week was expensive . The owner did provide free in end as only two of us occupying property. Not sure if stay there again as area although residential and close to beautiful beach property was situated right on road and was quite noisy with seagulls, dogs barking and refuse trucks emptying bins early hours of morning. ##### Marie P.

It is full of character and was a delight to have the use of. Comments are small things that others may need to consider. Property owner on hand to provide keys etc. to allow us to commence our stay with no problems and checked with us during the week that we well etc., so good client care to my view. All the essentials were available to us in the property for our stay, and it has as an internal charm to match the external. The ground floor accom is perhaps a bit compact were it fully occupied (there were just 3 adults in our party so it provided no great issues to us). It was clean throughout on arrival and not too difficult to maintain that way by any occupant. The internal stairs are probably a bit steeper, and steps smaller in height and depth than perhaps people in the UK are used to, but not restrictively so.(maybe an inch smaller than in modern UK build standards. Only mentioned in case prospective leasers have people who are less capable in their party. The pictures on the site need to be considered "selectively" by any viewer. There are multiple pictures but not all relate to this specific property. It would be better to tailor the presentation to suit. Not necessarily a problem so long as the property description is read carefully, The written details are accurate and there were no "hidden" surprises. Whilst the beach is not on the doorstep, the walk is entirely in line with the estimated distance given. The access route is not fully "roadworthy" but a decent walking surface for the whole length. A couple of points stopped me scoring this as a 5 star, 1 of minor significance, the other potentially more problematic. For the minor point, the mattresses on the beds were very firm, but this is a matter of taste, and maybe entirely suitable for others. The more important item is that fridge had a defective door seal leaving gaps around a couple of corner points, which meant that it was permanently "running" when the weather was warm. A minor annoyance for the holiday, but if it were for a restaurant it would be a health weakness for the equipment if it wasn't resolved/replaced/repaired. I'm not sure the same rules apply for a holiday lease, but needs consideration. As previously stated this is a lovely property, in a good location and it offered full value for the price, and these comments should not dissuade any future client. ##### Derek L.

La maison est à 7 ou 8 minutes de la plage qui est fort jolie. Cependant la maison se situe dans une rue très passante où piétons et voitures sont nombreux. C'est donc assez bruyant. A l'intérieur, c'est propre mais les literies -surtout le matelas du haut- sont assez fatiguées. La wifi ne fonctionne que par intermittence. Le propriétaire est charmant et accueillant même si il serait intéressant de prévoir pour les vacanciers des renseignements sur la région pour la visiter. ##### isabelle p. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2016
