Mercearia d'Alegria

Charming little boutique bed and breakfast. Easy to find (cannot miss the bubble gum pink exterior!), eclectic decor with an eye for detail; enjoyed outdoor sitting areas for sunset cocktails and breakfast, super friendly reception, delicious, made-to-order breakfast, wonderful experience all together!

Great little place. Feels v homely. Breakfasts were great in the little room on the ground floor, I can heartily recommend the scrambled eggs. Nice chill out bay too, which is warm and sunny, great to relax in. Brilliant that they do a free bike hire - and the bikes were super too, they were just great for getting round the headland too. Superb beaches nearby and of course it is often very windy, given its location but that made for great surf. Room was in basement but that was OK, small window, but fine. Clean sheets, v powerful shower, good bathroom. Good value, really enjoyed our stay there.

We roadtriped through portugal and booked this BnB spontaneously. Checked in two hours later with a friendly girl who cleaned the room just before. Room was sweet decorated and clean. We got nice recommendations from the girl at the reception and discovered Peniche. Next morning we enjoyed the great breakfast - available until the evening. You can choose 5 things - we expected small portions but everthing was served generously. We took coffee (cup), orange juice (glas), eggs (scrambled eggs, think 2), toastie (2 double breads filled with cheese and ham) and cake (freshly homemade chocolate cake, big piece). Check out also very easy and friendly. Last but not least - we just payed € 126,00 (on total!) for 4 persons in two seperated rooms including breakfast - yes, it was low season (may) but I never booked a room with that service and quality for such a low price!
