It was nice staying in the room with kitchenette. On arrival everything was clean. I would stay there again.

As we arrived at the Casa do Cactus we immediately felt like home, just regretted that we booked only two nights in this beautiful house and area. Erics grandmother welcomed us really warm and showed us everything, she is a wonderful person and told us to use the shared areas anytime we want. The room was big and has a kitchen as well as a big and pretty bathroom but the highlight of our stay was the terrace where we grilled fresh fish in the evening and after diner a bath in the awesome pool next to the house. The sea is also really close with one of portugals most beautiful beaches: Monte Clerigo. We can highly recommend this accomodation!

Perfect for our stay - first night on our Alentejo Road trip. Comfortable, spacious and more than adequate. Eric was very helpful and very quick to respond to questions. I would recommend.

A very beautiful traditional house, really near to the wonderful beach of Monte Clerigo. Our room was large and clean, we also had a private bathroom and a little kitchen with a frige. The host was friendly and kind. Also the swimming pool is nice...even if not as big as It seemed in the pictures. The top for your holidays in Portugal!

Really nice house close to amazing beaches

The host canceled this reservation 64 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

This property is only suited to those with a car. It is a nine Euro taxi ride each way from the Aljezur bus station and the supermarket. The nearest cafe and the attractive beach are a fifteen minute walk away and the route is hilly. That said, the house is nice, with clean, spacious rooms, attractive gardens and a well maintained pool. Breakfast is not provided, despite the property being described as bed and breakfast. The Internet was too weak to even load mail except early in the morning. Eric is a helpful host.

Os belos cenários, anfitrião Eric muito simpático, gentil e disposto a ajudar! Se você quiser descansar tranquilamente em um lugar fresco - definitivamente recomendo !!!

Its a really nice place, the ocean is in walking distance and the house has plenty of room. The only downside I can think of (and I have to think really hard) is that the WiFi is very slow sometimes. We really had a great time and would love to come again :)

The photos of the house suggest that it is a detached house. In fact, it is a terraced house in a row of houses of the unsympathetic nature. The neighborhood is indeed quiet, but there are half-finished building ruins, and empty houses / plots that do not make the impression that they will ever inhabited. The house was clean. Mosquitoes are an issue in warm nights. Overall, the house is inside relatively dark, which is due to the lighting. The kitchen equipment was OK, we have a coffee tab machine purchased should now be there. Hot water is provided via a gas water heater that works very loudly in the kitchen and the gas bottles via receives that are to change itself (if empty). The location on one of the beaches is good (by car), shopping, shops or restaurants are not in the neighborhood.

The accomodation was a 100% as described, the room was spacious with its own bathroom and the neighbourhood was really good as well. We went to Restaurante Pont´a Pé for dinner in Aljezur which was also a really great experience. Even though we haven't met Eric in person, he helped us with everything (even GPS coordinates) and he's been super flexible and helpful regarding everything. I can only recommend this place.

This was a very pleasant and authentic stay during our trip along the Portugese coastline. Eric is a very friendly host and took good care of us. The room was spacious and clean with authentic furniture. Will definitely keep Casa Do Cactus in my records for our next trip to Arrifana Beach! Best regards to your gramma, Eric!

No complaints. Felt private enough.

The location was great, Eric kept in touch whenever we needed and the house is nice. They're still doing some work in the house as some parts (mainly in the garden and pool) are older, should be all done in a few months :) Super close to the beach (walking distance) and in a quiet neighborhood.

Good communication, clean room, nice house close to the beach in a quiet area. Super!

This was a very good place to stay overall. Location was fantastic, amenities in the house were great, and the host was friendly. Cleanliness of the room left a bit to be desired. If this is attended to, I believe this would be a great choice instead of very good.

Definitely make sure to ask on which floor is your booking because the rooms on the ground floor have no curtains which means no privacy. Cleaning is another issue that needs to be clarified. Other than that the location of the house is perfect, there are two wonderful beaches 5 minutes away and few nice places to eat.

We did not feel welcome at casa do cactus. Eric was not there, it is a woman living in the house who gave us the keys, without really introduce the premises. She still was available when we had questions, and quickly repaired the toilets that were damaged. We could not use the kitchen because she was busy with families pretend to live in the house, and have not had the chance to sit at a table or access the stove. The room was nice, clean, we had a nice little terrace, and the pool was nice.

We did not meet Ana (the key was waiting for us in a box), but the house was just great. We were a family with 2 kids and they felt at home. There were even some toys and books for them to play with. The region is quite windy, so even if days are sunny you hardly feel the heat. A great spot for surf and for getting to know the beaches and countryside around Aljezur.

The house was exactly as described. Clean and comfortable. Kitchen was well appointed with everything we needed and the grill on the patio was so helpful in our dining. Two balconies, the patio, the living room, plus the pool area allowed many areas to relax. Beaches nearby are wonderful and several dining options just a short drive away.

The apartment is very spacious and tastefully decorated. With tons of books, games and various household items it actually feels like you're visiting a distant family member not renting a hotel room. The kitchen had everything you need not just to have a quick breakfast but you could easily prepare a four course meal. Which you can then enjoy on a terrace overlooking a river valley and some rolling hills. Beautiful. The beaches are nice and nearby, the closest one is about 10 minutes away on foot, although it is a bit of a steep climb on the way back so we ended up taking the car once or twice to haul our most senior family member and surfing gear.

Great accomodation. Great location. Great host .Would stay longer if i could!

Nelson's place was the perfect antidote to the brilliant bustle of Lisbon. It's simple and comfortable, and you'll quickly realise that you don't need anything else. Metres from the most beautiful beach, with a sun-kissed terrace overlooking it all, it's made for relaxation and getting away from it all. The handful of restaurants serve up great food, morning, noon and night. And with the sounds of waves to fall asleep to, you'll want more mornings there.

We enjoyed our stay. And the hotel has charm is very clean has a wonderful sea view. The beach is very nice and the place is quiet and relaxed. The restaurant has fresh fish and the cafe has delicious cake. Both Wi-Fi are addicted to the Internet ;-)

The small village of Praia do Monte Clerigo with its beautiful beach has preserved its old charme. We have more than enjoyed the simple Fishing-House apartment, just a few steps from the bar, beach and beautiful Sundown- Cliff. Nelson was very kind and helpful with everything, to bad we could not meet him and surf a Wave together. We will be back for sure in Monte Clerigo again and again! Muito obrigado :-)

very comfortable, tastefully decorated, next to the beach and with a beautiful view. We spent a beautiful weekend!

The loft is cute and ideal for a few days break. the location is superb,

It was an amazing time at Eric's house and I would like the place to stay my secret. It is a big house with many rooms, we were alone there and felt us like home. The best is the walk to the beach and Monte Clerigo down the road. The landscape blew my mind. It's one of the best views ever. Thank you and thank the lady, who silently knocked at the door to ask, if everything was okay. Muito obrigada!

Lovely, clean room with a great view of the ocean. Walking distance to the beach and some restaurants. We really enjoyed our stay and Eric was very helpful.

The house is in a nice residential area, quiet and close to the beach. Eric was not there, we were greeted by a lady ignoring our coming! Many things to see and spend a pleasant stay. Too bad we do not keep a good memory.

great location, big plus are the two terraces with wrap-around views.

CASA DO experience CACTUS has been very good, room very comfortable, very large private bathroom and two magnificent terraces. All in an incomparable setting: Monte Cleric, who has been a revelation. Repetiremos¡¡

Great place, great conditions, easy communication! Top option in Aljezur and Monte Clérigo

I loved the site. beach nearby and very quiet. the room clean and nice.

great location, 1 minute drive from Amoreira beach. Clean room and bathroom good. Another positive point is the existence of mini fridge in the room. Minuses: the kitchen needs to be remodeled in terms of utensils, equipment, etc. the decoration of the interior is careless and old. The room door lock keeps jamming. The common areas of utilization should be flagged, including kitchen. Another negative was the noise in the morning, bad soundproofing.

Matilde was very nice and we immediately felt like home. The room was big and clean with a own small balcony. The area is very peaceful and the monte clerigo beach is amazingly beautiful. I highly recommend to stay here :-)

We realy had a wonderful time at this unique location near the lovely village of Aljezur and so close to the stunningly beautiful cliff hanging seaside village of Monte Clérigo. The quiet settlement of Espartal is surrounded by nature and it is only a few hundred meters walking distance to a marvelous view to the bay of Praia Amoreira. Matilde speaks fluently English and is very nice and helpful with suggestions. She has a disarming smile. And her spacious house is well equiped with a kitchen, a covered terrace, an outside BBQ, a garden and a roof terrace ! ......If only we could have stayed longer !!! OBRIGADA MUITE MATILDE ! Thank you very much ! Hester & Frank from Holland

In a word - Spectacular
