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. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Clotilde 7 Oct 2024 #### Clotilde's review of your place Bonjour, Le logement est conforme à la description . 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 > [Hello Villas Algarve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Hello-Villas.h16190906.Hotel-Information) > > [Tivoli Alvor Algarve Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-Tivoli-Alvor-Algarve-Resort.h33811605.Hotel-Information) > > [Jupiter Albufeira Hotel - Family & Fun - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Jupiter-Albufeira-Hotel-Family-Fun.h27232572.Hotel-Information) > > [3HB Guarana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-3HB-Guarana-All-Inclusive.h4813341.Hotel-Information) > > [The Navigator - Solaqua](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Luna-Solaqua.h4461872.Hotel-Information) > > [Vale del Rei Hotel & Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagoa-Hotels-Vale-Del-Rei-Hotel-Villas.h1303668.Hotel-Information) > > [Tivoli Carvoeiro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Tivoli-Carvoeiro.h891221.Hotel-Information) > > [Quinta do Paraíso](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Quinta-Do-Paraiso.h1984923.Hotel-Information) > > [NAU Salema Beach Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vila-Do-Bispo-Hotels-Salema-Beach-Village.h15175162.Hotel-Information) > > [Vale d'Oliveiras Quinta Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Vale-DOliveiras-Quinta-Resort-Spa.h3469019.Hotel-Information) > > [NH Marina Portimao Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-Tivoli-Marina-Portimao.h976931.Hotel-Information) > > [One Bedroom Sea View Apartment Clube Rio Ferragudo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagoa-Hotels-One-Bedroom-Sea-View-Apartment-Clube-Rio-Ferragudo.h66241051.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) > > [Rocha Brava Village Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Rocha-Brava-Village-Resort.h1111695.Hotel-Information) > > [PortoBay Blue Ocean](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-PortoBay-Blue-Ocean.h14861176.Hotel-Information) > > [Pestana Carvoeiro Golfe - AL](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Pestana-Golf-Resorts.h4411575.Hotel-Information) > > [Pestana Gramacho Residence](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagoa-Hotels-Pestana-Gramacho-Residence.h22880433.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) > > [Pine Cliffs Residence, a Luxury Collection Resort, Algarve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Pine-Cliffs-Residence.h904328.Hotel-Information) > > [Monte Santo Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Monte-Santo-Resort.h2135874.Hotel-Information) > > [Vitors Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagoa-Hotels-Vitors-Village.h2008212.Hotel-Information) > > [Monica Isabel Beach Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Monica-Isabel-Beach-Club.h1515542.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Cliffs Hotel, a Luxury Collection Resort, Algarve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Pine-Cliffs-Hotel.h4071.Hotel-Information) > > [PortoBay Falésia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-PortoBay-Falesia.h1787641.Hotel-Information) > > [Pestana Palm Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Pestana-Palm-Gardens.h891487.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Muthu Forte do Vale](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Grand-Muthu-Forte-Do-Vale.h7421149.Hotel-Information) > > [Vila Alba Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagoa-Hotels-Vila-Alba-Resort.h1511579.Hotel-Information)
