My wife and I had a very pleasant stay here over Christmas 2011. The location is good for beaches and the walk into the town a pleasant 15-20 minutes stroll. We never felt the need to use a taxi. The beach closest to the pousada (Joao Fernades) is good but was very busy over the holiday, although curiously tended to empty out around 4 pm.
The chalet we had was fine, and although a number of chalets have been squeezed into a small area of the plot it has been done quite artfully, so that all have a good view from the balconies. I would note that the bed was a little on the small side by US standards although we slept well.
The Front Office was very efficient and transfers, car rentals etc. were all organised very efficiently. The (English speaking) owners were only occasionally around during our stay and the English language skills of the regular staff was mixed resulting in a few comic moments as our Portuguese was non existent, but this was not really an issue. I have no doubt that if we had had a problem the owners would have stepped in.
I would note that the after care service was excellent, and Alicia made a big effort to return some items that had been left behind. .
