Great location in a wonderful town
Communication with Juan was excellent and check in was thorough and flexible. Lots of advice and recommendations of beaches, restaurants etc. The free parking spot is a huge bonus as it is almost impossible to park nearby. The garage is an easy short walk from the house. From the balcony on the 2nd floor we could see the estuary and hear the beautiful violin music from the street musician in the evening. The restaurants and bars in the best part of town are all 2 minutes walk from the front door. The house itself has rustic charm. The spaces are small and the staircase is very steep and narrow winding stairs. The main bedroom is wonderful and big with double wardrobes and very clean and comfortable bed. The second floor has extra beds but with a low sloping ceiling so better for children. Some of the doorways downstairs are also low so my husband had to do a lot of stooping as he is tall. The only downside is that the small spaces are filled with many unnecessary furniture items or pictures. It had a sense of clutter. Also there were no cleaning products available at all which we had to buy. And we needed as the kitchen and bathroom were in need of a good clean. A few things were not working properly (e.g. Toilet flush broken, fridge without a foot so wobbled over ) the owners were aware of these things but were unconcerned. Overall we had a fantastic week and the beaches nearby are stunning !

excellent location and amenities !
In terms of location, it can’t be beat. The upper floor rooftop deck says it all. Juan is an excellent host, he provided wood for our fireplace and checked in with us frequently. Very nice space to stay, and a comfortable bed! Many beds we’ve used in Portugal are firmer than we’re used to, and this one is nice and comfy... Great wifi also, which we needed for work. A+

Perfect off-season getaway
Even before our arrival Juan, our host, provided helpful information and solved a transportation issue. We felt right at home immediately in Casa Bacana's wonderfully warm, cozy setting and in a great central location for hikes, beaches, markets , and. restaurants. Thanks to Juan's excellent orientation, our stay was perfect!

Small cottage in great location
Small and compact cottage. Lovely roof terrace offering beautiful views of river and beach. Three flights of narrow twisting stairs which could are tricky if you have mobility issues. Kitchen very small and needs a new fridge. Bed very comfortable and good size. Enjoyed our stay in this beautiful village.

Brilliant place to stay in a beautiful location with a stunning view.
Our hosts, Juan and Taina, made us feel extremely welcome on arrival and were very thoughtful in their recommendations for our stay (sending clear directions and guiding us to the house, fire lit before we arrived due to the colder nights in January, recommended restaraunts and provided maps/books on the local area. The house was beautiful with a wood burning stove, comfortable beds and a great shower. And the roof terrace was an ideal place especially at sunset after a day exploring beaches and villages in the area. Excellent location with restaurants, bars, shops and beaches all within walking distance. Everything we were looking for in a relaxing break and more. There's plenty of activities in the area and even out of season we were able to enjoy horse riding and stand up paddle boarding. Vila Nova de Milfontes is the perfect place to unwind!

Cute and comfortable house in the perfect location.
We really loved staying in Juan and Taina’s home this spring. The house is small and charming, 3 stories connected by a spiral staircase, and is equipped with everything we needed. The upstairs terrace gave a nice view of the river. We were even able to build a fire when it was chilly. And, Juan let us use a space in a garage close to the house. Juan left us with lots of recommendations which were good and accurate. We went to several of the restaurants and liked them all, especially Picatapa, owned by Reuben, a wine enthusiast, and the family run Doce Paparoca (homemade chicken tarts, cakes and sandwiches to eat there or take for a picnic- also their rooftop area for morning coffee!) There is a lot to do in the area, from the beaches within walking distance, to inland villages and the amazing walks along the coast. It is also not too far to drive down to the south coast. We squeezed in a canoe trip also, up the river with the incoming tide which was a lot of fun. All in all , we had a great time in Milfontes!

Great accommodation in Vila Nova De Milfontes
This was the perfect place to stay while exploring Milifontes and the surrounding area. Great location - quiet neighbourhood with nice little rooftop terrace overlooking river and out towards beaches. The apartment is clean and cozy with everything you need to feel right at home. Fireplace in living room was a treat on cool nights and the queen sized bed was very comfortable, especially after walking many kms each day along sections of beautiful Rota Vicentina. Juan was a great communicator in booking process. He kindly met us at the bus and shared lots of great information about the area. Excellent place to stay!

Hope to return
Casita Bacana is a lovely house with tons of character in the old part of town very close to the Castle. Juan is a delightful and accommodating host, full of enthusiasm and lots of helpful information about all the great things to do in the area, not to mention restaurant and wine recommendations. We were fortunate to be there for New Year's Eve, and could watch the fireworks from the terrace. We were all sorry to leave and hope to return in the future.
