It was very stylish, with lots of care and attention to detail. It was gorgeous, beautiful to be in with high spec modern finishes and touches. Lovely kitchen and bathroom facilities and comfy clean bed. Air conditioning provided and excellent cleanliness throughout. A real treat and I loved that the owner was relaxed and ran the beach bar on the beautiful beach a few hundred metres down the street. The whole experience was great, excellent food and surroundings at the beach bar/restaurant added to the stay. It was a resort for local Portuguese holidayers and felt authentic, not touristic. The local supermarkets, bars and gift shop added to the charm of the place. Carlos was a very helpful host.

When we were booking we were under the impression that it was a self contained property. It is in fact a shared space, each room has its own bathroom but the kitchen and living space is shared between 6 rooms. This wasn’t a problem for us as it was nice meeting guests from around the world. The rooms are far apart and it feels private. We just had not realised. The resort itself can be very windy and the sea inaccessible to swim in safely because it’s the fierce Atlantic coast. Having said this, it’s breathtakingly beautiful. I can’t really fault this place.

this is one of the best places I have stayed and I. have traveled all over the world I will be back

Super convenient place to stay. Nice host. Nice terrace, bathroom, mattress, kitchen. Quiet. What else do I need?

Everything, from the architecture of the house to the staff, the owners, the atmosphere in the village. It was all perfect. Our only regret is not staying longer!

Nothing, really. We loved it!

Design house, very comfortable and practical. It was amazing our stay. We cooked in the kitchen, which has the best equipments and appliances, we used the common living room - so comfy- I it felt like home or even better I wish this was our home. About the location, is great, you can walk to the beach and to this bar xiringuito owned by the same owners of the house, and the bar is really great, at the beach. I travelled with a todler and a baby and it was perfect!

Absolutely nothing

We loved the architecture and design of the house. The beds were very comfy, and the owner was really kind.

This place is lovely. It has a modern vibe, but still feels like a home. The beach is close and everything is clean and gives the impression of having been prepared with a lot of care. Carlos, the proprietor, was so kind and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and we are so grateful!

perfect location, modern design and friendly owners

Amazing place. Beautiful architecture and perfectly equipped. The best place we stayed ever. We did not want to leave.

We cannot be more enthused about our stay with Carlos. We were travelling around Portugal by bicycle, and had cycled 60km that day in rather difficult conditions. We arrived at our destination, very tired, cold and wet from the rain - looking forward to a hot shower and a meal. Only to discover, that we had read our maps wrong and arrived in the wrong place! We were still 13km away:( We were disheartened and decided to call the accommodation to see if they could recommend a taxi service to pick us up with our bikes. Carlos picked up, and after trying to connect us to a local service, he offered to come in his own car to collect us. He made two separate journeys, ferrying us, our luggage and both our bikes to the apartment. We couldn't believe our eyes when we entered the space. It is exquisitely designed, with a palpable sense of love and precision poured into each detail. It was a huge pleasure to stay there, and is certainly a place we will be referencing when decorating our own home in the future. Carlos even upgraded our room - and refused to accept any further payment for his outsized generosity. We were, frankly, a nightmare, yet he was perfectly cheerful and calm throughout, such a wonderful person to meet in a moment of exhaustion. He really went so far out of his way to help us and we will always remember this experience of being shown such kindness! Oh, and the beautiful beach bar he owns is gorgeous too - a must-visit! It's called Xiringuito.

Such a wonderful place to stay! The place is clean and nicely decorated. Located in a small fishing village but easy to get the nearby city it was just what we were looking for.

Architecture, cleanliness, super comfortable bed and linen…the list of things we loved about this place goes on and on. The best part about our stay was definitely Carlos though he really makes sure you are taken care of and we felt looked out for. Really special stay for us.

The house is extremely beautiful and comfortable, with everything you need within. Bathroom and kitchen are always very clean, the room was soo comfy with a huge bed. Carlos is a very nice host, he also have a chiringuito on the beach very close to the house with delicious sangria and amazing sunset views. We’d love to be back! Thank you for everything!

really nice experience staying at Casa d’Avo Dalina. The owners are very kind and opened a restaurant at the beach this summer. The house is beautiful and very well maintained. The bathrooms and common spaces are cleaned twice a day.

Really nice accomodation close to the beach, great inner courtyard and a good kitchen. The owner runs a beach Bar/Restaurant nearby, which serves delicious food - definitely would recommend to go there!

The house is absolutely gorgeous and the town is very quaint and calm. We had enough privacy but also had the opportunity to get to know the other guests in a relaxed manner. Everything we needed was provided for.

Absolutely fantastic. Amazing design, loved all the details and great location just off the beach. The owner recommended their restaurant on the beach which was also stunning! She also gave us a welcome jug of sangria which was delicious.

The house is masterfully built. Modern throughout & well-designed with 3 bedrooms on each side of the building (with 5 of them on the second floor). On the ground floor is the shared open lounge/dining area which is tastefully furnished & decorated. Located in the middle of the house infront of the outdoor terrace is the kitchen with fully-equipped appliances even an oven. There's enough cutlery, crockery & kitchenware. There's a coffee machine with complimentary coffee & tea. The fridge is huge enough to share with others. There were lots of plants everywhere and definitely plenty of space for everyone to enjoy. The wifi connection is excellent in all areas. Our air-conditioned double room is pretty spacious and has blackout shutters. The bed & pillows are super comfortable. It even has a mini bar fridge. It's next door to the bathroom shared with the other 2 rooms on that wing of the house. However, there was no waiting time despite other guests being there.There's also a spare toilet downstairs. There were a total of 3 families of 13 people on the other side of the house while we were there for 3 nights. On our side, we had a couple and mom with 3kids who only both stayed overnight. We didn't find it too noisy or packed at all. Just met the host Carlos once when he checked us in as well as a brief encounter with a lady who was checking in other guests. However, we had more friendly interactions with the cleaner, Elizabeth. She does an impeccable job cleaning the place twice a day. Well done! The whole village of Costa de Lavos where the house is located in a nice & quiet area, just few minutes walk to a patrolled beach. In addition, it's few minutes walk away to a mini-shop, bakery, take-away shops and a few small restaurants. One needs a car to get around to the main town of Figueira de Foz or other places. However parking is free anywhere on the street.
