The south west facing veranda is around the entire apartment and equipped with a table and chairs, and is perfect for enjoying the sunset or have an alfresco evening meal. The Algarve: Portugal is one of the most under-rated and inexpensive destinations in Europe. • The wonderful sandy beaches of the Algarve are unspoilt and amongst the finest in the world. • Children are welcomed everywhere and the locals are always friendly and helpful. • Away from the tourist hub, explore the quaint unspoilt villages with their narrow cobbled streets, the breathtaking Ria Formosa Nature Reserve, the majestic Monchique Mountains or the rugged beauty of the South Westerly tip of Europe, Sagres and Cape St Vincent. • Local markets sell an abundance of goods at bargain prices. • Restaurants and bars vie for business and the food is delicious and served in huge quantities. • Most restaurants have charcoal grills, turning out some of the best barbecued food you're ever likely to taste, such as freshly caught fish, chicken piri-piri and mouth-watering steaks and kebabs. • Enjoy cheap local wines, jug-full of Sangria and freshly squeezed local orange juice. Portimao - Praia da Rocha - Alvor Area: Praia da Rocha is the Algarve’s best known and longest established resort, providing year-round appeal. • Its numerous bars, restaurants, night-clubs and souvenir shops, spill out onto the long promenade and a first-class casino is located right on the beach. Alvor is an ancient coastal village, which is now a very popular holiday location. Alvor’s maze of cobbled streets is full of busy restaurants, many barbecuing outside and it is known for its excellent nightlife. • It is well located facing a natural lagoon opening onto the sea. • Framed by ochre cliffs and lapped by sheltered Atlantic waters you can find either long open sandy beach or a number of small coves tucked under the cliffs. ## Property amenities ### Beach -

Apartment was about 5 minute walk to beach/boardwalk where you could either go down steps to beach (quite steep) and walk towards Portimao (to the left) or Praia do Vau (to the right), or you could walk along the flat boardwalk with all the shops, cafes and restaurants towards Portimao and along clifftop to Praia do Vau. Plentiful cafes, bars and restaurants to suit all tastes, very relaxing break, would recommend. We did walk to Alvor a couple of times but you can catch the Tourist bus which stops at Luar Hotel (1.50 euros each way or 3.50 euros for a day ticket per person) this bus also takes you all the way into Portimao so if you're visiting both places in one day it's worth buying the day ticket, just tell driver you want day ticket - think these buses run about every 15 minutes. We also visited Lagos (you have to get bus or walk to Portimao and catch another bus to Lagos - the return fare on this bus was about 8.40 euros each). Journey took about 40 minutes and it is a lovely place to visit although we didn't visit the marina. The Continente supermarket along with Aldi and Lidl are about a 25 minute walk from apartment so we walked there and got taxi back (if carrying heavy shopping) taxi was about 6 euros. Booked through HomeAway and would recommend as they have an app which you can put on your mobile and keep up to date with your booking, you can also contact the person you are renting apartment from and there is a lot of information on the app - ie places to visit, places to eat etc, checking in and checking out procedure etc ##### Mary T.

Apartment is good with a large balcony two bedrooms and very well equipped in the kitchen you could definitely cook meals as there was everything thereto help you. The staff at the apartments were very friendly and welcoming. Moonlight bar is a great place to stop for a beer and catch the sun. All the staff are friendly and very attentive. Hugo is a great professional bar person and always takes time to welcome you. Alvor, Portamao and Ferraguda are definitely worth a visit asis Lagos. Trains and buses are available and it is not that costly. ##### Christine B. Stayed 28 nights in Feb 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Stephen M. 1 Aug 2018 #### Fantastic stay at Praia da Rocha Stayed for 10 nights end of July, the apartment has everything you need for a great stay, well equipped kitchen, two large bedrooms, large living area , great views off the huge balcony of the sea & pool area. The pool area's nice, with new sun-loungers & parasols, nice bar & restaurant on site at very reasonable prices. It's a 10/15 minutes walk down to the beach & all the restaurants & main strip . Great resort & value for money apartment, had a fabulous holiday, we will be back. ##### Stephen M. Stayed 10 nights in Jul 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Michael C. 22 Jun 2018 #### Lovely apartment in a nice location Enjoyed our week stay in early June. Unfortunately the swimming pool area was being refurbished and could not be used during our stay, however Carlos advised us the situation before we travelled and kindly offered us a discount on the price paid. The apartment is nicely positioned on the 6th floor with what will be nice views over the pool area and the ocean. The apartment is nicely furnished with everything you could possibly need. The main asset is the very large balcony, this stretches along the whole front of the apartment with access from each bedroom and sitting area. The only slightly negative is the lack of English TV channels, but hey you don't go on holiday to watch tv. The location is only a short walk to the sea front with plenty of restaurants and shops. Overall a good holiday. Would like to return in the future when the pool area is completed. ##### Michael C. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### Augustin M. 30 May 2018 #### Appartement moyen, rien de luxueux S'il faut apporter quelques nuances on peut dire qu'il est bien situé, près du front de mer, qu'il offre de beaux volumes pour 4 personne. Les couchages des chambres sont assez confortables et on peut apprécier le parking en sous-sol. D'autres aspects sont plus criticables. Strict minimum pour la cuisine(une poêle inutilisable tellement elle attache), pas de four, obligé de racheter un couteau de cuisine digne de ce nom. Couverts à la limite d'utilisation à changer en totalité au plus tôt, aucun couteau ne coupe, impossible d'aligner 4 verres ou 4 petites cuillers identiques. Pas de lampe de rechange dans la cuisine, la porte donnant sur la petite terrasse est cassée et s'ouvre toute seule par grand vent, obligé de la caler avec la table de salon( le problème semble être connu depuis des mois). En cas de forte pluie la terrasse est inondée, l'écoulement est complètement bouché par manque d'entretien. Les canapés sont à la limite de vétusté, inutilisables en couchage de secours, à moins de ne pas être trop regardant sur la propreté et le confort. L'écran de la télé dans la chambre à lits jumeaux est fendu donc inutilisable. J'en oublie sûrement ... A peu de frais on peu rendre cet appartement plus "luxueux", en l'état je ne le relouerai pas.

Wir waren sehr angetan von dem vollständigen Equipment, das uns ermöglichte zu wohnen, wie wir es auch zu Hause tun. Kochen und Waschen war problemlos, was bei einem Kleinkind ja wichtig ist. Baby Raphael (1 Jahr) konnte sich austoben und erste Schritte üben. Das einzige, was wir vermissten, war ein Kinderhochstuhl am Tisch. Die Wege zum Strand und zu Einkaufsmöglichkeiten waren kurz, wie beschrieben, der Service der Rezeption hervorragend. Wir haben viel gesehen und erlebt und haben uns immer gefreut, wenn wir nach "Hause" kamen. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder. ##### Monika W. Stayed 13 nights in Apr 2017 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Roland A. 1 May 2017 #### Individuell und unkompliziert Das Apartment liegt gen Westen und schmiegt sich um einen großen Balkon, sodass das Leben von allen Zimmern aus auch draußen stattfinden kann. Es ist einfach möbliert und mit allem ausgestattet, was ein selbstversorgtes Leben in den Ferien benötigt. Der Blick auf den Atlantik verläuft über Grünflächen und die Hochhäuser mit Swimming-Pools, die diesen ruhigen Stadtteil des Ferienortes Portimao prägen. Der Pool ist in der Saison sicher besser gepflegt: Im April war das Wasser grün und mit Plastikmüll verschmutzt. Aber der Praia de Rocha, ein wunderschöner Sandstrand mit Felsen, ist ja nicht weit: fußläufig 10 Minuten. In nur 5 Minuten ist man am O Viriato, einem landestypischen Restaurant mit entsprechend guter Küche und sehr geselligen Wirtsleuten. Die nächste Einkaufmöglichkeit ist mit dem Auto in ca. 10 Minuten zu erreichen. Alles Top. Und kleinere Störungen, beispielsweise kurzfristige Wasserausfälle im Apartment, regelt die freundliche 24-Stunden-Rezeption. ##### Roland A.

It was very spacious fab balcony with sea and pool view and everything g you need was in the apt. Only very short walk to nearest shop and to the beach andstrip of restaurants and bars. Would return for sure we were a family of 4\. Pools were very nice and there was no noise from other apts. ##### Catherine M.

The reception area is manned 24/7 and the staff are helpful, courteous and always greet you with a cheery hello. The VRBO apartment itself faces southwest and is on the sixth floor. Although the interior of the apartment is showing signs of being in dire need of some new furnishings and tender loving care (simply due to age and use) it is still bright and welcoming and offers everything needed for an enjoyable stay. We cooked the majority of our meals (as we stayed five weeks) and while there is not an oven the kitchen cooktop, utensils, pots and pans were above par. Hot water for the shower was sparse leaving the two of us unable to shower one after the other so we adjusted our schedules to suit availability. That could be a major issue should more than two people stay in the apartment. Our main complaint, however, is with the internet service. It was extremely slow, constantly cut in and out, and was so frustrating we often ended up using the internet service that is only available in the lobby. Perhaps it is time to find another more reliable internet provider because Vodafone was definitely not up to the task. If you are looking for a budget friendly beach holiday this property is definitely worth considering. It would suit a couple (we're retired) or a young couple with small children and is located a short walk from the beach. The main street of Praia da Rocha with its shops, restaurants and cafes is also an easy stroll away. We did not rent a car as almost everything is either within walking distance or available via the local bus system. Although the temperature (in February/March) was too cool to use the hotel pool, we often grabbed our Kindles and settled onto a lounge chair to read the afternoon away. It was a lovely place out of the wind to relax and soak up a few rays of sunshine. ##### Dianne B.

The pool is suitable for children (and of course adults) of all ages and the whole pool area was well maintained. The location of the apartment is very good as one can walk to several beaches and if one has a car, it is easily obtained from highway. The materials of the apartment were high quality and it was very spacious. The garage was also very nice in sunny days in Algarve. Many thanks to our friendly host! ---
