Dear David

Just a note to say thanks for the apartment.

The family had a great holiday - weather great, food and wine fantastic and very cheap! I don't think I spent more than 2.5 euros a bottle all week!

I can recommend the nearby sailing school to your future guests - run by a really welcoming team and the lagoon is a fantastic place to hone those windsurfing or catamaran skills. Food there is also well worth trying.

"a restaurant where the family breeds lusitano horses"

A friend recommended Obidos and Foz lagoon for some horseback riding,
so we came out for very long weekend. Our 5 days were great and much
better than being stuck in our fancy Lisbon hotel.

Hi David, We had a lovely holiday. Thank you.

return.

"Eating out was really cheap"

We spent a week with 2 teenage girls at Apartment Cristina and had a
great holiday. Not usually self catering holiday makers we actually
really enjoyed the experience.

"We surfed every day" - "amazing waves"

We spent 3 weeks this summer (July & August) at David's apartment in
Foz. We found it to be a very spacious and clean apartment. It has
amazing views of the Obidos Lagoon from the balcony that you could
never tire of looking at.

perfect and the beach restaurants are open all year

As regular visitors to Portugal in the spring we've been renting
apartment Cristina at least once a year for 6 years now, as we like
it so much and there is so much to see in the area.

The apartment location is lovely with a gorgeous view. My boyfriend is a
twitcher (birdwatcher) and has some really powerful photographic
equipment, binoculars, and a telescope, so he was happy to spend
hours watching the lagoon wildlife from both the terrace and beside
the pool.

Lovely area, great apartment, super views

Lovely apartment with all the facilities you need for a great holiday
overlooking the lagoon. Very clean and laid out as described.
Excellent customer service from the owners, David and Christine.
Ideal for families and couples, you can have a quiet holiday if you
wish or a more fun filled one. Very good value for money and would
thoroughly recommend it.

Area is great for exploring, a wonderful buddha garden, dinosaur
footprints, and Obidos a lovely walled city.

We very much enjoyed staying at Cristina Apt. in Foz this year.
It was our first trip to the Silver Coast, having only done the
Algarve in the past. It's great to find so many friendly people
and see the real Portugal, and we loved Foz.

We are already thinking we might want to do the same again
next year, especially if there is any chance of a discount for
early booking?

Hello David,

just to say we had a great holiday! Villa met all expectations,
for us just what we enjoy. Must say surprised how quiet it was
in that area, apart from week enders, had the place and the pool
almost to ourselves, couldn't be better!

Tried a restaurant or two, much of a sameness we think, but you
do get good cooking at very cheap prices. We really liked Foz,
so ate and drank down by the beach.

Hi David

Just to say we had another lovely family holiday in apartment
Christina this year. We love the area and those beautiful views!

Just one small tip for anyone else who may be arriving at the
airport for the first time... Again there seemed to be long
queues for car hire. We minimised our wait by arranging for one
of us to go through customs as soon as we got off the plane, in
order to get in the queue early. My husband went first, and I
followed with the children once we had collected our luggage.
There was still a wait, but not quite so long...

Best wishes
Susie and Andrew

Hi David,

it was really nice to meet you when you popped round during our
stay. The villa was perfect and the view stunning! We had a
brilliant two weeks and did loads of sight-seeing; we absolutely
loved that area and will definitely be back to Villa Cristina.

Best wishes

Hello David

Just to say that we had a lovely holiday in Apartment Cristina.
Everything was great and the view was stunning. I think our only
hiccup was the long queue to pick up our hire car at Lisbon
airport... But we will be prepared if we go again!

Hi David,

Just wanted to let you know what a lovely holiday we had at
Villa Cristina. It was everything we hoped for. A beautifully
kept apartment which felt very homely and cared for.

Unfortunately the weather let us down so we couldn't use the
pool or tennis courts but we will return in the Spring or Summer
and make full use of the facilities then.

Foz is an interesting place and we enjoyed our trips out to
Obidos, Peniche and Baleal. We also had a good hotel in Porto
which we would recommend (Hotel Eurostars das Artes) and managed
to even have a short cruise on the Douro.

Best wishes,
Elaine and Peter Dunkerley

David

Just a note to thank Cristina and yourself for dropping by last
Sunday. We thoroughly enjoyed the week. We did not finalise
anything property wise but now have a much clearer idea of the
area and are closer to deciding what we want! Think we may head
over for a few weeks over the winter to spend time looking at
plots and houses in more detail.

We thoroughly enjoyed your apartment and if we go for something
a few weeks a year would certainly look at making you an offer.
Villa Cristina really has an outstanding view.

Again many thanks and all the best to you both.

Mike and Diane

It is a lovely area, fantastic beaches, no hassle, friendly people.

Bring a dictionary and give Portuguese a try!
