Vivenda Santiago

Very spacious villa which was clean and comfortable. Easy to get into the local town amd as a base for going to Lisbon (about an hour's drive). Local beaches were immaculately clean. Hosts were friendly and helped us with the rental of a mobility scooter. Lovely area with plenty of shops, supermarkets and restaurants within walking distance/short drive, but the actual road was quiet and peaceful. Beautiful garden.

The pool is much smaller than it appears in the pictures (more like the size of a jacuzzi), and didn't have a cover, so it got dirty and unusable very quickly.

Great place to stay for a group of friends or a large family. The house is located about a 15 minute walk down to the center and beaches. Steep to go back, but Bolt or Uber are very easily available - and cheap.. Spacious accommodation, clean and washed when we arrived. Nice outdoor areas and plenty of outdoor furniture.

The pool, which is not a swimming pool, is much smaller than the picture suggests.. It is really just a slightly large bathtub, about 2.5*2 meters. The big minus is traffic noise, especially at night, which really reduced the experience of the stay. No aircondition

Although it is an older property, it was very well maintained. House has ample space, excellent views, beautiful patio and very close to the beach. I was concerned about the property not being equipped with air conditioning. I brought that concern to Melissa the property manager and she promptly offer to have some fans at the house prior to our arrival. It was an excellent experience that truly represents a Portuguese living experience.

The one thing negative about the property is its proximity to two very busy streets and the traffic noise throughout the day and night.
