BARRY & JERRY STAYED 5 NIGHTS. WE HAD A VERY POSITIVE EXPERIENCE IN A TWIN ROOM WITH SHARED BATHROOMS, USE OF KITCHEN & WASHING MACHINE, LARGE LIVING ROOM, A BIG GARDEN SPACE WITH SUN CHAIRS.
EVERY WHERE WAS VERY CLEAN & MAINTAINED TO A HIGH STANDARD. WE MET MANY PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT COUNTRIES & MADE SOME NEW FRIENDS. AGNES IS THE LADY WHO CO-ORDINATES EVERY THING SO EFFICENTLY. YOU WILL MEET HER EVERY MORNING PREPARING BREAKFAST FOR GUESTS WHO REQUIRE PREPARED FOR THEM. SHE MAKES THE BEST SCRAMBLED EGGS EVER. THE MANY STAFF IN HER EMPLOYMENT ARE SO SO FRIENDLY THAT IT FEELS BETTER THAN HOME. THE BEST PART IS THE LOW, LOW PRICE AGNES CHARGE FOR THIS WONDERFUL ACCOMODATION FOR WALKERS, HIKERS, BIKER, SURFERS, BEACH GOERS, & PEOPLE WHO JUST WANT TO COMPLETELY RELAX AT THE CLUB IN THE CENTER OF THE VILLAGE. WE ARE DEFINATELY RETURNING .

In April 2022 we spent three nights at Pensao das Dunas and it was one of the highlights of our month in Portugal! The pensao is a charming and comfortable repurposed building with a beautiful garden in a private setting five minutes walk from the old town in Carrapateira. A delicious breakfast is available for a small fee and it was the best breakfast we had in a month! Along with all of the regular breakfast foods, farm fresh eggs were cooked to order and fresh bread was also available. The common room where guests can enjoy an outstanding library was a bonus, as was a laundry service that is so important for hikers on the Fisherman's Trail. Carrapateira is a lovely little village with a beautiful beach, good restaurants, and many day hiking options. Our hosts were so helpful, friendly and interested to provide excellent service. It was truly, one of the gems we discovered on our hike on the Fisherman's Trail and we were so glad to have spent three nights there to experience this singularly beautiful part of southern Portugal. Thanks to Agnes and Ruben for your hospitality!

This is a warm pensao with a welcoming approach, with rooms that a somewhat basic and a tiny toilet. The redeeming features are an open lounging area and a decent breakfast with freshly squeezed orange juice. It is centrally located within walking distance of the beach. Don't expect luxury and you won't be disappointed.
