The duplex accommodation comprises a stunning open plan living area, 2 generous ensuite bedrooms and balconies where you can enjoy breakfast or relax on the comfy sofa to enjoy a sundowner or 2! Situated on the edge of the river, the beach island boat is only 150m away, and the charming fishing village of Cabanas with its delicious restaurants can be reached in just 2 minutes' walk. Casa Formosa is a gorgeous apartment. The dazzling interior has been recently refurbished and includes furniture and facilities of the highest specification. LIGHT AND CONTEMPORARY INTERIOR From the main entrance you are welcomed into a dazzling and bright interior, beautifully appointed with white and grey furnishings adorned with contrasting ornaments and wall decorations, In this super open plan space, a comfy sofa invites you to sit and relax in front of the flat screen smart TV, whilst an elegant glass top dining table facing the wide-opening French windows creates the perfect spot for summer supper. The sofa actually converts to an extra bed for occasional visitors - ideal if you want a friend or 2 to join for a few extra nights. The adjoining kitchen is a complete joy. White worktops and cabinets create a fabulous catering experience, complemented by a superb selection of appliances and gadgets, including an American-style fridge freezer and dishwasher – perfect for any budding holiday chef! For convenience, a guest bathroom is also located on this level, along with a washing machine and tumble dryer. SECOND LEVEL Take the staircase where 2 gorgeous bedrooms await. The simple and bright furnishings create a super relaxation zone where beds can be accommodated as king size beds or single beds, but will usually be presented as 1 kings size bedroom and 1 twin bedroom, thus suiting families or couples alike. Each room has its own ensuite bathroom; 1 with bathtub and overhead shower, and the other with walk in shower cubicle, both with a small balcony leading to the outside seating zone. OUTSIDE SPACE The apartment offers a small front balcony with chairs on the lounge level, but the hidden gem is on the second level where you will find a super comfy sofa zone, where you can simply relax and enjoy the last of the sunshine, accompanied by a glass of wine.

The service from Smartavillas was excellent! The only thing that would have helped our stay was some voiles on the bedroom windows ##### Sue ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Beach Resorts & Hotels in Uruguay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Uruguay-Beach-Hotels.0-0-d191-tBeachHotels.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > - [Beach Resorts & Hotels in Kingston](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kingston-Hotels-Beach-Hotels.0-0-d180034-tBeachHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Aparthotels Mlini](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mlini-Apart-Hotels.d6053167-aaApartHotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > - [Beach Resorts & Hotels in Mallorca Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mallorca-Island-Hotels-Beach-Hotels.0-0-d602317-tBeachHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Beach House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bude-Hotels-Beach-House.h5814981.Hotel-Information) > - [EPIC SANA Luanda Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Luanda-Hotels-EPIC-SANA-Luanda-Hotel.h4720942.Hotel-Information) > - [Apartments Sydney North Sydney Station](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-North-Sydney-Station-Apartments.d6172741-aaApartments.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > - [Hotel Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kitzbuehel-Hotels-Hotel-Park.h1157222.Hotel-Information) > - [B&B Hotels Rio Copacabana Posto 5](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-BB-Hotels-Rio-Copacabana-Posto-5.h1469342.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels in Manila](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manila-Hotels.d178282.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Hotels near Eric Morecambe Statue](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Eric-Morecambe-Statue-Hotels.0-l553248621532493284-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > - [Flights from Bishop's Stortford (STN) to Hyderabad (HYD)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/stn/hyd/london-to-hyderabad) > - [Flights from Hyderabad (HYD) to Crumlin (BFS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/hyd/bfs/hyderabad-to-belfast) ### Packages > - [Copacabana Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Copacabana.d178498.Holidays-City-Breaks) > - [Holocaust Memorial Miami Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Holocaust-Memorial-Miami-Beach-South-Beach.d6065861.Attraction) ### General > - [Visit Königs Wusterhausen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Konigs-Wusterhausen.dx6131623) > - [Visit Hellenthal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hellenthal.dx6356528) > - [Visit Munich](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Munich.dx179896) > - [Visit Vinaros](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vinaros.dx6131351) > - [Visit Hai Ya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chiang-Mai-Hai-Ya.dx6274011) ---
