Lovely stay in great apartment
Loved staying at this apartment and Edila and Edward could not have been more helpful. Great place to have as a base to explore the Algarve with a very comfortable apartment that had everything we could possibly need. We are a family with a 10 and 12 year old and this was perfect for us.

TRES BIEN
Appartement conforme aux photos. Dans une résidence très bien entretenue et calme, très bien placé : boulangerie au pied de l'immeuble, restaurants et supermarché à moins de 50m. Nous avons bien apprécié notre séjour, l'appartement est en rez-de-jardin avec une terrasse très agréable, la piscine est proche sans que l'on soit dérangé par le bruit. Une place de parking en sous-sol très appréciable surtout quand il fait très chaud. Nous reviendrons sans problème.
