We loved our time in Porto Santo, and the foundation of our vacation was a stay at Villa Retiro Praia. The home looked exactly as it did in photos, had great outdoor and indoor spaces, perfect for our traveling party of 6 to spread out. It's a few minutes to the beach, where we experienced great weather every day and uncrowded space to relax and enjoy the warm water.
The entire home is well-appointed, from kitchen to bedrooms to garage; bikes are available, the washer is high-capacity, clotheslines make drying easy, outdoor seating is perfect for enjoying the evening weather. Housekeeper Claudia provided a great overview of the property and had answers to any questions about the property.
The location is great, a short walk to not only the beach, but several great restaurants; a convenient takeaway is a few minutes away, as is a mini-market sufficient for most needs. The city center is a 20-minute walk that's easy to make or a 4 Euro taxi ride.
We look forward to visiting Porto Santo, and staying at this home, again in the future.
