The host Maria was really friendly, welcoming and keen for her guests to enjoy their stay. Maria left us goodies to eat for our first day, there is an avocado tree outside the door which you are welcome to eat after they are ripe. The pool is shared with only one other holiday let. We walked around the beautiful gardens with Maria, she told us about all of the plants she has, it was great to see coffee bean plants and pineapples growing. The Apartment was clean and well equipped there is a kettle, toaster, fridge, hob, pans plates cutlery. Iron and ironing board and a small hairdryer. Maria supplies towels for the Apartment and the pool. Maria even supplies umbrellas which you will need at some point during your stay. The Casa Das Clivias is about 20 minutes walk from the sea front, we always felt safe whilst in the area, and local people were friendly. Go check out the market for fresh fruit from the Island.
