10/10 Exceptional

Perfect location, next to the aluguer/taxi and the mercado central with affordable local food just at the door. There is a mini mercado store downstairs too. Walkable distance to the beach and the town center/ plaça central . We had a triple room for a couple and it was great, the room is big, nicely decorated and comes with a desk and tv. Bed is confortable. Kitchen area and lounge all ok and the staff very friendly, speaks english, French and maybe some more languages. The only bad point is...
