Casa das Andorinhas - 1 bedroom apartment sleeps 4

A very modern very bijoux little place right in the heart of Camara de Lobos - very easy to access beach, supermarket & restaurants. Clean and bright. The upstairs balcony had some view of the sea. Private parking in front of the property was valuable (but only if you've got nerves of steel to negotiate the narrow very steep lane and squeeze into the very small parking space)

Contact with the agent wasn't great. Response was slow to a few queries on our arrival. The place was left very clean but things were missing - no bedding for the sofa bed was left (only a rather stained duvet!), no washing machine tablets had been left, and no instructions for any of the appliances. We had to wait for all these to be sorted. Also the awning over the top balcony (to shade from the sun) didn't work at all. For just a couple it's a really sweet place to stay (if you don't reckon on doing much cooking as the kitchenette area is tiny) It's advertised for 4 people but I wouldn't recommend it for more than a couple. Also the parking slot is really very tight and on a very steep hill.
