Dune
About the home
The sheltered bay of Sao Martinho Do Porto is unique along the Silver Coast and it is a very pretty Portuguese town with calm waters and fantastic restaurants.
The town celebrates many festivals throughout the year and everyone - Gran, babies and all the local shops/restaurants get involved! Don't be surprised to see people wearing strange clothing to celebrate different events sat at the many outdoor cafes.
This is a great apartment because it is so well located in the heart of the bay. It has a private balcony with views across the bay and it also has a lovely pool. However you may find it hard choosing between staying by the pool or walking 20 metres or so to the beach itself.
There are lots of lovely restaurants along cobbled streets to choose from for lunch or dinner and you don't need to go anywhere else if you don't want to.
