Words cannot describe THE most spectacular view!!!
Location is literally overlooking stunning Benagil Beach- A narrow and busy beach during the day. The listing beach pic must have been taken before 8am because directly beneath /about 1/4 of the beach is taken up by the boat/kayak tours launch. There are ALOT of cave boat/kayaks tours passing by all day long. But really fun to watch it all the action from high above and we didn't mind it at all. Beach starts to empty by 5:30pm and it's totally quiet and peaceful after that. There is a beach front restaurant right below with good pizza. A new beach club/restaurant with lounge music just a few steps above that gives you access to their plunge pool if you eat/drink there. 2 other restaurants at this spot. You will need a car if you want to do groceries 11mins away. Easiest parking is at the top of the hill and you will have to walk down 3 sets of steps. A short walk across the parking lot at the top leads you to the beautiful and quiet Carvalho Beach. Villa has a cute cottage feel, clean and everything you need. The huge deck and outdoor living space is amazing. ACs only in the BRs so we had to request a fan that was perfect for the main living room/kitchen. The configuration is such that all the rooms are lined up in a row- you have to walk through all the rooms to get from one side to the other but still all very spacious! Both bathrooms are dated and one in need of a major makeover. Overall - it's a great place with an unforgettable view!
