Josefa D’Óbidos Apartment

Luz, limpeza e espaço amplo.

Nada

This apartment was spacious, comfortable and pleasant for our family of 4. The location is quiet with beautiful beaches just a short walk away. However, a car is necessary as there are no shops or restaurants nearby. The apartment is located in a resort-type village with a golf course and some other facilities (tennis courts, spa...) that we did not use during our stay. The shared pool area is nice and also quiet, but we did not make much use of it during our stay.

Two sliding doors no longer lock (one in the lounge to the veranda and the other in the 2nd bedroom). The shower in the on-suite bathroom leaks from the corner onto the bathroom and bedroom floor and should be looked into because the bathroom door is actually water damaged. Cushions for the couch on the veranda would have been appreciated and a sun bed would be a nice addition too. There are too few sun beds at the pool for the number of apartments.

Collecting the keys was having to go to a separate address nearby through an agent, opening a box and finding all info there. Had to call about a couple of issues, ie. only received one key thob for the gate the enter property but cleared needed two as different people have different needs. The house is rather nice and well equipped. Wonderful location for nature lover and silent seekers.

A bit tight on all essentials and missing an extra key thob to enter the estate. A bit impersonal in the turnover.

We just made our own breakfast because plenty of facilities to use at the apartment.

Unfortunately the weather was not that good windy and grey most of the time!

No resort facilities, no bars, cafes, a supermarket with the most basic provisions, a ridiculously priced restaurant which never had patrons, no way of getting anywhere, unless you hire a car, which we didn’t want to do! But there was no indication that there was no local bus service, the beach was not a bathing beach, it was wild and none of this was made clear when booking. So we felt stranded and spent a lot of money on taxis.

Spacious, comfortable, everything you could need, well thought out, beautiful pool (although too cold to swim)

Sound insulation could have been a bit better, as we could hear noisy Neighbours. However, nothing serious
