Great location close to restaurants and the ocean. There is a very spacious feeling to the grounds. The property in beautifully maintained. We were an extended family group of 20 and the 2 buildings, pool and grounds worked well for us. We all enjoyed our stay at Casa Das Dunas.

Massively disappointing. Needs a refresh
We were profoundly disappointed with this villa in which we recently spent our holiday. The experience fell significantly short of our expectations on many fronts, leaving us feeling thoroughly let down.
Upon arrival, it was immediately apparent that the entire villa was very dated.

A family holiday
This was a holiday involving all 17 members of our immediate family ranging from grandparents at 80+ down to 8 grandchildren of various ages.
This was a perfect setting. The villa and annex were excellent. We were much nearer the beach and restaurant facilities than we expected, but spent most of our time around the pleasant pool and lawn area.
Definitely recommended!

Die Lage war sehr gut, strandnah und Blick auf das Meer von der Terrasse aus. Dachterrasse mit sehr schönem Blick. Schöne Einrichtung und bequeme Betten. Einzig, daß Gläser nicht genügend da waren. Nur ein paar Weingläser für so eine große Villa ist zu wenig. Der Geschirrspüler im Haupthaus war defekt und wurde trotz Reklamation nicht repariert. Wir mussten alles in das Nebenhaus schleppen und die Maschine hat nicht wirklich sauber gespült. Da könnte man mal was neues funktionierendes anschaffen.Aber allgemein war es eine wunderschöne Location und wir haben diese Woche sehr genossen.

Top Lage
Die Lage direkt am schönen Strand war super! Auch der große Pool war für die Kinder klasse! Eine genauere Beschreibung der Zimmeraufteilung im Inserat wäre schön gewesen.
