I spent a few lovely days at Os Dois Galos with a friend, and the most vivid record of my stay is that it's a place with a personality. The villa itself has a story, we learnt, as does the charming Dutch couple who own it! Especially the hostess - she's fun, easy to talk to and all chit-chat, so you're treated more like a guest, rather than a client. The opposite of that impersonal feel of a large hotel. We were told about nice nearby beaches or places to eat in the small Deixa-o-Resto, so that was very helpful. Likes: the cozy pool, the indoor bar (& drinks fixed by the host) and the nourishing breakfast. Dislike: the bathroom looked pretty rundown, so an overall refurbishing would be welcome.
