Some comments from people who have stayed in this apartment through another site:
1 - Based on my impression of the owner through his emails, we extended our stay from a week to 12 days. This proved an excellent decision. Carlos is a very nice man who takes great pride and care in his spacious, well furnished apartment. It is furnished to a high standard .. The large terrace gives great views of the sea and spectacular sunsets. The immediate location is a fishing village with long boardwalks, behind excellent beaches. The outstanding feature is the fast, modern metro connection to Porto to city that repays multiple visits. With a car you can explore the Douro valley and take a train or boat expedition up it..Also there is a range of towns within easy traveling distance. We used the Portsmouth / Bilbao ferry which combined with the superb, empty Spanish / Portuguese motorways made for an easy journey.
We do not usually return to places, preferring new experiences, but we are making an exception of Carlos's apartment.
Thank you Carlos
2 - We have just spent a happy and relaxing week in Carlos's apartment in delightful Vila Cha. The apartment is clean, comfortable, well-equipped and homely - the proximity to the sea and views of the sea are wonderful. The set-up worked very well with our lively two year old. We enjoyed early morning runs along the boardwalk followed by a bracing dip in the sea. The beach was busy with locals every day. Local restuarants and shops served as well as the local taxi driver for trips to Vila de Conde, the subway for a day out in Porto and airport transfer. Highly recommended for a taste of Portuguese village seaside life.
