Well this is our 4th time to Ferragudo and already looking for next year, the accommodation was spotless and better than expectations. There was loads off room and the furnishing were excellent. It was fantastic accommodation and the views were stunning. Amazing place stunning accommodation, great facilities and brilliant communication from James who sorted everything out for us. Will defo book this again.
The location of this property is lovely, and in general well fitted out. Lots of crockery pans etc. Could do with a long handled dustpan and brush though as we couldnât sweep up.
Great that pool towels are provided as it saves luggage space.
It is a shame that there is not an information pack on the local area with recommendations for restaurants, places to visit etc.
I did have to contact the manager about the cleanliness of the house though. There was a fair bit of mould in the second en suite shower, and some long black hairs. The floor wasnât very clean nor was the basin. The house was also very dusty in places especially under the bed in the second bedroom and the lounger cushions were covered in dust which we had to clean.
James sent someone out straight away and she said the cleaners would return, which they did, but the standard of cleaning still wasnât brilliant and the long black hairs still remained!
Some of the windows were very dirty (second bedroom again). Isabel who came out said that the cleaners donât have access to the garden to be able to clean them.
The property is in need of work. The small courtyard has scruffy furniture and dead plants in pots. The shower in the second bedroom has a leak onto the floor and a lot of mould on the tiles, the shower tray is quite unstable. It must also be (or has been) leaking into the wall of the bedroom as the panelling and skirting boards are rotting. The hems on the curtains are coming down.
Would be a great property if the owner did some of the repairs needed, paid a bit more attention to detail, and the cleanliness was up to scratch.
Clean , well furnished and layed out property with a nice view of the river and marina. We immediately felt at home without feeling like we had to compromise as you sometimes have to renting vacation property.
Quality and furnishings , linens etc were high.
Location was ideal , but a car is necessary really. While there are some beaches within walking distance, the most beautiful beaches Pintadinho (best for kids because of more shallow water) and Caneiros are 5 to 7 min drive.
For breakfast , you can drive to village in 5 mins and pick up croissants etc from bakery and mini supermarket near the square. Lunch at the restaurants on the beaches I mentioned earlier. Dinner in the many decent restaurants near the square area.
In summary, itâs a great week family break to get your Mediterranean sun , beach and food experience.
We had a lovely holiday staying at your comfortable house.
Our Grandson went to the pool area every morning whilst we relaxed on the balcony/ terrace admiring the magnificent views of the beach, estuary and castle.
Ferragudo was just a short walk where we watched fishermen at work. boat trips can be booked from here and there is a good selection of restaurants.
We hope to return next year.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home. The home served all our needs quite well. The fact that we had use of the pool and exercise center was a real plus. We used these facilities extensively during our stay. We found the home to be very relaxing and close to other activities such as the beaches and cliff walking. Any question or problem we encountered was dealt with by Isabelle and her support staff immediately.
The home was within walking distance of the Ferragudo center which had numerous excellent restaurants.
We would recommend this home to anyone visiting the Ferragudo or Praia da Rocha area.
