Guestbook

"Just a final note to thank you for arranging things for us in Portugal.

A truly beautiful part of the world, and you have a lovely apartment.

We could have taken an extra week over there, we are a bit fed up to be home actually..."

Kind regards,
Charlie.

Dear Antony,

Thank you for the use of your vey fine apartment for the last 2 weeks. We had a lovely time and the apartment was so much more than was expected, it was so well equipped, and well placed. We really loved the position by the pool and the wonderful walk to the bay or the market. We found some great beaches beyond Nazare and a good water park there too. We will be returning soon.

John and Natasha Nicholson.

Hi Jenny
Apologies it has taken me so long to get in touch post holiday just to say we had a great time at Palmeiras Weather was superb - just one cloudy morning which burnt off in the afternoon. Ideally placed it was so easy to access everything in St M and we could leave our teenage sons to "Chill" and watch the DVDs you had kindly left ! We enjoyed daily coffees with the locals up in the back of the town on the way back from the daily market and the fish restaurants at the port were fantastic - we visited Pesca NoPrato twice it was so good ! (The Rough Guide missed those, once again full of locals). Liz
