Quinta da Barracuda is centrally located between Old Town and New Town and very close to the beach. A 20 minute walk along the beach to Old Town and a 10 minute walk to New Town. The apartment was spotless. The building was safe and secure and quiet. IPTV was great. The washroom was very nice especially the shower. The kitchen was extremely well equipped with everything you need. This apartment has morning sun. We highly recommend this VRBO and look forward to returning one day. ##### Keltie D.

The check in was easy. The difficulty lay in our trying to find the building. But the manageress was ever so patient in guiding us to the place. Both my husband and I are short people so we found the couch too large for us and so we had trouble sitting o it. ##### Linda Stayed 39 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lance V. 21 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful visit! We spent 10 days at this location and it had everything we needed. Pre-visit communications with Thomas were fantastic as were our check-in and onside support. The only downside was the location, even that being 4/5\. Its a short walk to one of the most beautiful beaches we've ever visited. However, the walk to Old Town and local restaurants was a bit far. If, like us you're not renting a car, then be prepared for some decent, and hilly, walks. Otherwise we loved our stay! ##### Lance V.

We liked the large balcony, which faces east, and the large pool and pool area. The apartment amenities all worked well and the parking was plentiful. The shopping was relatively close and restaurants were within walking distance. The photo made the space look bigger however but it was big enough for two of us. Thomas was excellent with communication and a Kevin was very nice and helpful when he had to reset the tv. ##### Alison M.

It had everything you need for a get away plus a bit more. We stayed in 3 apartments during our break and found this one to be the best equipped, even a few games to play on rainy days 😉 It was clean and tidy when we got there and we would have no problem recommending it. Our check in was flawless and they allowed us to have a late checkout. Kevin was always there when we needed him and was very helpful during our stay. ##### Debbie D.

The check in was easy and informative, and the check out , you just leave the keys on the table. I had a small problem with the shower not draining, and my husband removed a BIG chunk of hair and the shower was draining fine again. When I told about that I was told I should have caled maintenance, well naked in a shower, chances are I will call my husband first. Hope the check that in the other units.
