This area is very popular amongst families, nature lovers and surfers alike. A selection of restaurants & bars and a small supermarket are there for your day-to-day comforts. Monte Clerigo Beach 1.8 km walking Amoreira access is possible at low tide; you can cross the river back to Espartal (although you will get a little wet). Aljezur is located on the west coast of the Algarve in the heart of the natural park Costa Vicentina. An impressive beauty retains unforgettable landscapes between the mountain range and the sea. The coastline is formed uniquely by nature. The sound of the waves creates a natural symphony, which serves as background music for long hikes or just a short walk on the seashore. Large sandy beaches and coves, divided by magnificent, rugged cliffs, with the consistent waves of the Atlantic Ocean, offer unique surfing conditions throughout the year. Aljezur is enchanted with its charm and harmony of culture and nature. The region has countless culinary delights of high quality to offer. The sea provides fish and seafood, and the ground carries sweet potatoes and peanuts as delicacies count Medronho, a traditional fruit brandy, honey and other sweets. These are treats for culinary art and one of the many reasons to visit the region of Aljezur. \## Transit We are only a 30 minute drive from Lagos and Sagres, one hour and 15 minutes from Faro airport and 2 hours 45 minutes from Lisbon. If you want to explore the area, a car is recommended. Parking is free and abundant everywhere in this area. \## Notes ➤ Check-in time: 4 - 9 pm. ➤ Check-out time: before 10 am ℹ SEF REQUIREMENTS.

The view is amazing and the communication with the host super easy. Can recommend! ##### Paul B. ### 4/10 Poor #### Konrad O. 31 Dec 2023 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, location #### Sewage pressing up in the shower and toilets The view and the upper floor are nice and were handed over in a clean state. Street parking is available infront of the property. However on the 5th day of our stay, we got a realy nasty surprise. After it had rained a bit during the night, the sewage started pressing up through the showers and toilets on the ground floor. This meant that a horrendous odor was spreading throughout the house. This was the state of things for the remainder of our stay. After some research on the sewage treatment in the Algarve, I came to the conclusion, that the house is not connected to proper sewage treatment but rather to a cesspit that apparently was not built in correctly. There was no proper reaction to us informing our local contact about the situation. Probably this is a known issue with the building that is simply accepted by the owners. No compensation for this situation was offered to us. So I can really not recommend renting this property. This situation does not only cause a terrible odor but is also an absolute hazard to the health of you, your family, and friends. Also the automatic refund of the deposit was not triggered within the official time period for it (without any communication about the delay). I spent about an hour of my time until I was connected with the people who held my deposit. This process should be handled automatically. ##### Konrad O. Stayed 8 nights in Oct 2023 This review is from a guest who booked and stayed through a partner site and can't be verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Lucia H. 1 Apr 2024 #### Wunderbarer Ausblick, gemütliche Wohnung Insgesamt schönes Haus, das liebevoll und praktisch eingerichtet ist. An einigen Stellen ist es jedoch in die Jahre gekommen und bräuchte etwas Sanierung. ##### Lucia H. ### 2/10 Terrible #### Elodie A. 19 Sept 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Mal entretenu Ne correspond pas à la description, villa très cher pour le prix. Mobilier usé, chaise de jardin dans le salon , canapé et draps taché, tapisserie déchiré, défécation d'animaux dans le jardin. Dommage car la propriété est belle mais très mal entretenu ##### Elodie A.
