It is close to some restaurants and bars, which were the reason for some noise & music in the night. It very well equipped especially the kitchen with a very large balcony. It even has an umbrella with chairs that you can bring to the beach. ##### Logan This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Meta 19 Apr 2025 #### Nice and clean appartment The appartment is nice and the location to the centre and the beach is a few steps away. The reason a give less stars to the location is because the noise of the nearby bars. The noise is very loud . You did every thing ok.

Arrivée simple. Dans le centre ville , a même pas 5 minutes de la plage à pied. Nous étions en voiture et avons toujours pu nous garer dans des rues proche ! Globalement l’appartement était parfait sauf le karaoke en dessous qui fait du bruit jusqu’à 2h du matin minimum . Lorsque l’on est sur la terrasse , à partir de 21h-22h on a l’impression d’être dans le Karaoke ! Et pour dormir pas facile car on entend toujours même avec des boules quies . Mais en dehors du karaoke tout était très bien :) ##### Clotilde This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bastian 30 Jul 2024 #### Bastian's review Schönes 2 Zimmer Apartment. Man hört aufgrund der Nähe zu den Bars die Musik, jedoch sind die Wände relativ gut isoliert. Dafür hat man einen kurzen Heimweg von den Bars. ##### Bastian ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Your own Private 3 acre, Exclusive Holiday Village “Casa Branca”](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Your-Own-Entire-3-Acre.h55989601.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Magaída, AC, private space with pool](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tavira-Hotels-Villa-Magaida.h34051888.Hotel-Information) > > [Genie's Villa Boutique, Algarve-Family Friendly-Pool,Balcony Garden, Terrace,BBQ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Loule-Hotels-Genies-Villa-Boutique.h19107126.Hotel-Information) > > [3HB Guarana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-3HB-Guarana-All-Inclusive.h4813341.Hotel-Information) > > [Colina da Lapa & Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Colina-Da-Lapa-Villas.h1456080.Hotel-Information) > > [Mirachoro Carvoeiro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Hotel-Mirachoro-Praia.h1455748.Hotel-Information) > > [Masana Algarve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Masana-Algarve.h2691452.Hotel-Information) > > [AP Adriana Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-AP-Adriana-Beach-Resort.h1516199.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Villa, Presa de Moura ,Carvoeiro, pool, sea views and beaches close ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagoa-Hotels-Luxury-Villa.h27575820.Hotel-Information) > > [Tivoli Alvor Algarve - All Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-Tivoli-Alvor-Algarve-Resort.h33811605.Hotel-Information) > > [Pestana Carvoeiro Golfe - AL](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Pestana-Golf-Resorts.h4411575.Hotel-Information) > > [NAU Sao Rafael Suites – All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Sao-Rafael-Suite-Hotel.h1210300.Hotel-Information) > > [Água Hotels Riverside](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagoa-Hotels-Agua-Hotels-Riverside.h4345792.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton Atlântico Algarve by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Kimpton-Atlantico-Algarve.h3036868.Hotel-Information) > > [Vila com estilo Marrocos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Vila-Com-Estilo-Marrocos.h18939827.Hotel-Information) > > [STYLISH APARTMENT SLEEPS 6/2 Bedrooms/2 Bathrooms Gramacho Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagoa-Hotels-STYLISH-APARTMENT-SLEEPS-6-2-Bedrooms-2-Bathrooms-Gramacho-Golf-Resort.h30098517.Hotel-Information) > > [Vitors Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagoa-Hotels-Vitors-Village.h2008212.Hotel-Information) > > [Vale d'Oliveiras Quinta Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Vale-DOliveiras-Quinta-Resort-Spa.h3469019.Hotel-Information) > > [Pestana Gramacho Residence](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagoa-Hotels-Pestana-Gramacho-Residence.h22880433.Hotel-Information) > > [Encosta Da Praia Luxury Villa Private Pool Near Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagoa-Hotels-Villa-Encosta-Da-Praia.h21329756.Hotel-Information) > > [Pestana Palm Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Pestana-Palm-Gardens.h891487.Hotel-Information) > > [Tivoli Carvoeiro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Tivoli-Carvoeiro.h891221.Hotel-Information) > > [AP Maria Nova Lounge - Adults Friendly](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tavira-Hotels-AP-Maria-Nova-Lounge.h1204797.Hotel-Information) > > [Spacious luxury villa with A/C near beach with private pool](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagoa-Hotels-Spacious-Luxury-Villa-With-AC-Near-Beach-With-Private-Pool.h33588568.Hotel-Information) > > [AP Cabanas Beach & Nature - Adults Friendly](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tavira-Hotels-AP-Cabanas-Beach-Nature.h1094212.Hotel-Information) > > [Smy Santa Eulalia Algarve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Apartamentos-Palmeiras-Santa-Eulalia.h18931770.Hotel-Information) > > [New apartment (2020) residence Albur village luxury services near the beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-New-Apartment-Residence-Albur-Village-Luxury-Services-Near-The-Beach.h48540174.Hotel-Information) > > [Lagoa Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagoa-Hotels-Lagoa-Hotel.h11915030.Hotel-Information) > > [Tropical Sol](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Tropical-Sol.h9553504.Hotel-Information) ---
