We stayed at Casa Sousa for 10 nights - two families made up of 4 adults and 6 children. The house is well appointed, spacious, lots of the photos on this site don't necessarily do it justice. The pool and sun lounger area was bigger than we expected, as were some of the bedrooms. We enjoyed the outside eating area. The kitchen is large with everything you need to cook, minus any ingredients like salt/pepper/sugar/etc.
Ilda is lovely, her apartment downstairs means she's close by but most of us only saw her once during our stay. She replies to messages fast and we really appreciated how easy booking the house was. Easy on-street parking - our group had 3 small cars between us.
The location is great. There's a beach about a 10min walk away, town is a 15min walk (downhill; so 20min returning uphill!). A big Intermarche is a 5min drive and access to the motorway is about 10min.
The downside and frustrating part for us is that there are not 4 bathrooms at this house. It says that there are twice in the listing so we inquired if we were missing something and told that there are only 3. Our search parameters for this trip were 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. It's therefore an odd situation because had the property been listed as 3 bathrooms, we wouldn't have picked it...yet we really did enjoy the house and felt it was a great pick for our group. I do think the listing should be changed to reflect that there are three bathrooms, not four, and I'm surprised it's not mentioned in any other reviews.
I would absolutely stay again and recommend Casa Sousa to families or groups of friends. We enjoyed our stay, thank you!
