#### Belle maison confortable avec beau jardin proche plage et lagune

Accueil très agréable et chaleureux par les parents de Cristina qui nous ont donné de bons conseils et nous ont aidé dans nos démarches (tests covid). Grande et belle maison avec de beaux volumes, entourée d’un beau jardin. Tous les équipements nécessaires pour passer de bonnes vacances sont disponibles. La maison correspond au descriptif. Plage à proximité mais mer agitée, pour se baigner plage avec mer plus calme à 5 mn en voiture, accessible aussi en vélo, à Cortegaça. Restaurants et commerces à proximité, voiture recommandée. Excellent séjour, nous recommandons sans réserve
