Nous avons loué en août 2022 et l'expérience fut catastrophique. Le logement est beaucoup trop humide et très mal entretenu, et la propriétaire est malhonnête. Tout l'appartement sentait l'humidité, les placards et le linge de maison empestaient le renfermé, il était impossible de faire sécher son linge dans l'appartement, et le matin toutes les affaires et les draps étaient humides. Nous avons dû aller à la laverie pour sécher le linge à chaque machine, ainsi que les draps et serviettes qui sentaient mauvais et étaient constamment mouillés, malgré une aération permanente et l'utilisation d'un déshumidificateur fourni dans la salle de bain. Également, des traces de moisi tapissaient les murs et les plafonds, ce qui est mauvais pour la santé. De plus, le logement mériterait d'être globalement rafraîchi. Les poignées de porte et les robinets nous sont restés dans la main à plusieurs reprises, on se prenait les pieds dans les seuils de porte décollés... Nous sommes même restés coincés un soir dans une chambre car la porte ne s'ouvrait plus, on a dû démonter la serrure pour sortir ! Elle n'a ailleurs jamais été réparée pendant notre séjour. Le matériel de cuisine et l'électroménager sont vétustes. Enfin, il y avait des problèmes dans la robinetterie de la douche qui était en mauvais état et ne coulait pas toujours très chaud. Nous avons même dû faire intervenir la propriétaire pendant le séjour pour faire remplacer le robinet qui s'était mis à fuir d'un coup. Et pour couronner tout cela, elle a conservé la caution de 100 euros pour le changement du robinet et de la serrure ! Terrible experience, ne vous fiez pas aux jolies photos qui ne montrent pas l'état réel de l'appartement. ##### Grazyella V.

La propriétaire est très disponible et répond à toutes l’escroquerie questions. L’appartement est spacieux et propre. C’est idéal pour ceux qui veulent la plage (à 600m à pieds) ou découvrir Viana (10 minutes en voiture du centre). Tout est parfait et il y a des commerces à proximité (boulangerie, épicerie et restaurants). ##### Laurent T.

Muito confortável! E acondicionado com tudo o que precisamos. O facto de ser no R/C foi muito vantajoso porque tínhamos 2 crianças e um cãozinho e assim não era necessário estar sempre preocupados com o barulho. A zona também é muito agradável! Gostamos muito das férias!!! Divertidas mas também relaxantes. ##### Marta P.

Bien entretenu et fonctionnel, nous avions serviettes et draps à disposition pour 8 personnes et même deux lits d'appoints. Comme nous étions nombreux, nous avons rencontré un petit problème de séchage de vetements, que nous avons réglé car notre famille résidait à côté. Un sèche linge serait l'idéal. Nous avons passé un très bon séjour. ##### magali p.

Quanto ao apartamento este tem muita luz, muito boas áreas e é muito confortável, além do fato de estar muito bem equipado. Situa-se a dois passos da praia. A Amorosa é um lugar bastante calmo e sentimo-nos muito seguros, gozamos umas férias relaxantes e despreocupadas. Aproveitamos para visitar Viana do Castelo, Ponte de Lima e também fomos dar umas voltas de Karting uma vez que este fica muito próximo. Por isso, recomendo vivamente :-) ##### Carla B.

Éramos três casais e não nos faltou nada, dentro de casa. Muito próximo temos a praia, e todo o tipo de comércio. Durante a nossa estadia fomos a Viana do Castelo, Ponte de Lima e Barcelos (que ficavam muito próximo). Adorámos!
