Staying at Casa Tarapoto in Aljezur is the perfect way to experience Portugal’s beautiful Southwest Coast.

This is highly recommended! This cottage has been lovingly refurbished and decorated, that splash from it. Fully equipped. Also nice to sit outside by the picnic table or roof terrace. The location is fantastic.
