Craving sandy, salty days spent under the sun? You’ll be just two minutes from Praia de Carneiro with its beautiful lighthouse and four minutes from sandy stretches at Praia Ingleses. Along the coast, there’s a promenade perfect for long walks or holiday jogs. There are also plenty of restaurants and bars in this neighbourhood for dining on fresh seafood after a long day, and the city centre is best reached by bus (the ride averages around forty minutes) or by car (around fifteen minutes). Inside the home, you’ll find a row of windows in the living room that open to sea views and fresh air, bringing a beachy atmosphere into the modern, stylish space. The open-plan living area beams with natural light illuminating the light wood parquet floors and furniture, creating a breezy atmosphere for unwinding. The master bedroom features sea views too (and an en-suite). If you are looking to explore the delights of the Portuguese coast, you really couldn’t ask for much more.

Home truths
While there are plenty of restaurants and bars in the surrounding area, this home is located in more of a beachside residential area and further away from the city centre.
The upstairs ceiling is sloped downwards like an attic in some places.
Daily cleaning is included between 11 am and 5 pm – sheets and towels are only changed after five nights.
The bathroom in this home is very small. That said, it has everything you need to get ready for the day.
Expect to see some signs of general wear and tear here.
