T2 Beachfront with Wraparound Terrace - Praia da Barra - Casa Indigo

10/10 Excellent
"Another wonderful month in this beautiful rental in Barra! We stayed here for a month in 2023 as well. Great location to enjoy the beautiful beach, watch the surfers and dining at the beach restaurants. Walked over to Costa Nova several times to shop and enjoy more wonderful restaurants. Only 15 to 20 minutes from Aveiro by bus or Uber which opens up another wonderful city and access to the rest of Portugal by train.The flat itself is fantastic. Very clean and modern and well equipped.Not sure what the future will bring, but if we return to Portugal a third time, will definitely consider this rental again.Thank you David for sharing your beautiful place with us.Micheline"
