Great trouble free stay at this apartment. Received info pack the week before with really comprehensive instructions. Note, there is a fee to pay for the key to be handed over. This was not made clear until after booking. On arrival a call to the house keeper was simple and we was met at the apartment and shown around. The apartment was as described with a few issues that didn’t affect our stay. Safe does not work. Air con in one bedroom does not work and the towels are tiny. Other than that, all good. Pool area great with 4 sun beds to use. Location is quiet and the building felt secure. ##### Paul D.

The apartment is huge with lots of space in the bedrooms for clothes. Two bathrooms was a bonus. The pool is large but very cold! There are 4 dedicated sun beds so no need to get up at 5am to reserve! The location was perfect, two minutes walk to McDonald’s, KFC, Burger King and Pizza Hut, cafes and shops. There are 2 supermarkets within 5 minutes walk. 10 minutes walk to the old town and about 20 minutes to the strip. The meet and greet was seamless and communication with the management company was also very good. There’s a washing machine which was handy for washing towels etc. the old town was lots of fun and had lots of entertainment for all ages. The only thing I would say that could be improved was the beds, they’re not very comfortable but it wasn’t a big issue. The pool was never very busy, some days we had it to ourselves. The beach is lovely with lots of water sports and sun beds for hire. I wouldn’t hesitate to book this again as we had a great time. ##### Audrey C.

This has to be the largest, best equipped holiday apartment we've ever stayed in. You won't regret staying here! There is nothing more you could need. It has speedy Wifi and aircon. The apartment was spotless when we arrived. Communication with the housekeeper was great, we were met as agreed and shown around the apartment and how things work. The apartment is easy to find, ample parking is available outside. The location for us was perfect. Between the old and new towns 15 mins walk to old town and maybe 22 mins walk to new town. Less than 15 mins walk to the beach. The best thing is the pool area, it's big and the gardens so beautiful and well maintained and you have four sun loungers locked up only for your use.

The apartment is very spacious plenty of room for 4 and the balcony is a good size with table 6 chairs where we had all our meals etc and a BBQ which we used a good few times. There is everything you need in the apartment and its bright and very clean. The pool area is great and the pool is a good size you have private sun beds with the apartment so no missing out and the pool only got busy on one weekend but was still quieter than a hotel. All in all I would recommend this apartment you wont be disappointed. Tip: we hired a car for the second week of our holiday but should have pre booked one for the whole vacation there are some lovely places to visit on the Algarve. Any Questions please ask David ##### DAVID WHITTAKER This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alona W., London 14 Sept 2013 #### Relaxing Holiday Lovely! That is the perfect description of this apartment, clean, spacious, fresh air, easy access, well equipped with lots of toys if you have small children and swimming stuff. But I would like to extend a big Thank you for the owner of this apartment. Nigel who guided me on planning this holiday. Thank you! The whole week of our stay was really enjoyed by my son in the pool, he was the happiest boy! The pool doesn't go very busy so we can stay as long as we want, the playground is a plus plus and we don't have to to further to take our son for a walk and run. We walked around the area with out the buggy though Nigel the owner provided us one. We love the location itself beautiful complex! The photos does not justify the place you have to pack your stuff stay in this apartment and experience what relaxing holiday is. It is literally behind McDonald's, Go up the hill on the right and there is a daily Market if you want to get a fresh catch of fish, vegetables and fruit section at the other side, down the hill is Mcd's, across is the tourist train, which my son enjoyed it a lot, we have to take him twice a day morning and afternoon, shopping for food is just across the main road. During our stay we were fortunate to see the Fishermen's beach festival, a nice walk down to Old town on the escalator in the afternoon and we joined the locals having a feast on the local food, with a concert going on. I would highly recommend this place to all my friends! Also credits to Karon and Rachel! very friendly care takers! ##### Alona W.

This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 1 Jul 2009 #### Home from home My husband and I stayed at this apartment in June 2009. It is extremely spacious with all the necesssary facilities for a very comfortable stay. The apartment was also spotlessly clean and with a private locked doorway to the main blocks, felt very secure. The owner is very friendly and will email through a detailed information pack to help you during your stay. He will also give you the number of a local contact should you have any problems. The apartment is approximately 20 mins from from the beach and old town which makes for a pleasant stroll in the sun. The large "Modelo" supermarket is just 5 mins walk away. There are some really nice restaurants in the old town - "Za-Za" is lovely if you enjoy Asian fusion and healthy cooking. It is opposite the "Atrium" and "Bank" bars. A fantastic restaurant called "Grandmother's House" or "casa da avo" is on the back street down to the Old town (rua do M.F.A.97). The service and food there is what you would expect in the best restaurants back home but priced moderately. You will need to book a few days in advance though if you want a table. I would highly recommend Albufeira old town and this apartment. The strip or Montechoro area of Albufeira is better suited for teens and those in their very early 20's who want to party all night. If this isn't for you, best not go there!!
