Lighthouse North Villa - Praia da Barra

Location, secured complex, amazing views, walking distance of the beach, complex own private pool.

Nothing we didn’t like.

Good location with a large terrace with beautiful views all around.

The property was quite dated, compared to other Booking.com apartments we have stayed in. Unfortunately the master bed wasn't made up when we arrive and there were lightbulbs missing or weren't working. The host did come round to fix the lights. The TV worked sporadically and the WiFi didn't work on the last day. We were also unable to use the bath because the owner had removed the bathplug to save on water bills.

Already written to the owner. We had three times of excessive noise in the upstairs apartment so any discussion with other residents didn’t work. Disappointing to be woken up again by shouting families at beyond midnight. . The soundproofing in the apartment is probably the worst that I have encountered across places that we have stayed in Europe. Great when no one is staying upstairs but when added to so much weekday construction (hammer drilling and tile cutting) in adjacent apartments and new construction of apartments across the road with tower cranes beeping from 7.30 in the morning and construction dust simply thrown out into the street in clouds unfortunately, we are left sadly disappointed with our stay in the apartment.

Access to outdoor swimming pool and the well maintained communal gardens, views from outside terrace as well as the large size of the terrace. Proximity to shops,beach and restaurants.

Advertised as having barbecue but this was not clean to use. A lot of dishes in kitchen cupboards were dirty and had to rewash. Dirty sponges and dishcloths left. Liquid soap empty and filled with water. Internet issues on second day thought had unlimited free WiFi however this was later resolved when we contacted property owner. Tv signal poor. Shower goes from hot to cold. Games room advertised but not able to play pool or table tennis as no table tennis ball or pool cues as residents have their own. Felt that the high price didn’t reflect the quality of the interior of the and I expected it to be of a better quality.

Loved staying at this apartment with its closeness to the beach, the lighthouse, nice restaurants and pastelería. Already missing the amazing sea view from the terrace. We had some initial issues with the door lock but our host João helped us promptly. Would go back!

Pool was a bit cold but it was very large and felt cleans
