Die Wohnung hat alles, was man braucht. Schöne große Wohnung. Man ist in kurzer Zeit am Strand und wenn man den Nahverkehrszug von Madalena nimmt, der leider nur einmal in der Stunde fährt, ist man wesentlich schneller in Porto als mit dem Bus. Je nach Wetterlage bekommt man die Flugzeuge mit, die über das Haus hinwegfliegen.
De sfeer in het appartement deed ons meteen ook thuis voelen. De indeling is ook heel prettig met aan de ene kant twee ruime slaapkamers en evenzo badkamer/toilet en aan de andere kant de keuken en de woon-/eetkamer. Mooi inrichting met alle comfort. Als laatste een mooi balkon en afgesloten (ommuurt) complex met ook parkeerplaatsen voor een eventuele (huur) auto/motor. Kortom: TOP!
Nous avons étés très bien accueillies. Dés que nous avions une question Elisa a su nous aider ! Le logement est idéalement situé ( à l’extérieur de Porto, 10 min de train, mais surtout a 15 minutes à pied de la plage ! )
Le Logement est spacieux et lumineux !

Entspannend
Angenehme Atmosphäre in der Wohnung. Sehr gut ausgestattete Küche mit genügend Bewegungsraum.Der Balkon hat einen Sonnenschirm, so dass Frühaufsteher einen tollen Morgen auf diesem verbringen können. Ping doce und ein tolles Cafe sind schnell zu Fuß erreicht. Mit dem Bus, 3 Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar, ist man in maximal 45 Minuten in Porto Zentrum. Zum Strand benötigt man 15-20 Minuten oder man nimmt den Bus. Ich war rund um glücklich, da ich kein Auto brauchte. Einziger Nachteil: Es gab keine Bettwäsche zum Wechseln und zu zweit teilt man sich eine große Zudecke. Trotzdem habe ich mich sehr wohl gefühlt. Ich komme gerne wieder.

A very relaxing time
We had a great stay at this apartment. Elisa was a great host and very patient when we we're late for handing the keys. The kitchen has everything you need to cook some delicious meals and the nearby Pingo Doce supermarket offers a great variety of portugese and international food. On the way to Pingo Doce you also pass one of the best bakeries we ever found in Portugal. The bed was comfortable and there were enough beddings and towels. WIFI and Television were both good and made Netflix a good choice to spend our lazy evenings.
If you want to visit Porto, a bus takes you right to Sao Bento train station in just 40 minutes.
The beach is just a 20 minutes walk or 2 bus stations away. Overall we were really satisfied, although we missed a sun umbrella for the balcony. The sun could get incredibly intense until afternoon.

Conforme à la description
Accueil chaleureux, Luis était disponible et à répondu volontier à nos questions (en français).
Adresse à recommander pour la plage et les espaces nombreux (15 kms) en bord de mer réservés pour les piétons et cyclistes.
