Beautifully appointed getaway home!

Our family has stayed in quite a few vacations homes, this one is extremely clean and well thought out in the construction, furnishings and little things to make you comfortable. The owners gave us some great local restaurant recommendations and we thoroughly enjoyed our time in Albufeira. The directions were clear and easy to follow, the complex was quiet and in a great location. We would love to come back for another stay.

Very good apartment in a great area.

Lovely apartment in a nice quiet area and close to several secluded beaches. Apartment has all you need and would expect for your holiday. Owners are easy to contact and very helpful. I would have given 5 stars if the balcony had been a bit bigger, with 3 of us it was a little cramped when sitting outside. I would definitely book this apartment again.

Beautifully decorated and comfortable home, a true home away!!

After a long day we arrived to the apartment, everything was perfect!! I was so pleased at all the detail the owners took to ensure their guests were comfortable. The home came equipped with everything you could need and more; from a wonderful nespresso machine to an outside grill we seriously couldn't ask for more.. The beach is within walking distance and a wonderful restaurant, A Sardinha that was also phenomenal!! The pictures were spot on and I really see myself visiting again!!

Wonderful Stay in Beautiful Apartment

We were most impressed by the apartment and the facilities available to us. Dealt with lovely people in the rental management company who provided details of local area and complex. The place itself was spotless and very comfortable. The complex was quiet and was in a safe area. 5 minutes walk to amazing beach. Would recommend to anyone especially if traveling with children. Will definitely be back sooner rather than later!!

A Magical Place

We chose this apartment for many reasons, upscale location, ocean view, close proximity to a beautiful beach and the apartment itself with its true Portuguese style interior. This apartment exceeded our expectations and was clean and comfortable for three adults and two children. The location is quiet and relaxing and just a short walk to one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen, Praia de São Rafael. If you wish to visit the Old Town of Albufeira you will need transportation but we were fortunate enough to have a rental car. The apartment is fully equipped with laundry and everything you need to cook in the kitchen... except the food of course. We very much enjoyed our stay here and would absolutely recommend it as well as stay here again. My only wish was that we could have spent more time there!

A terrific experience

We decided to rent this condo for a month. It’s situated between two lovely beaches that can be accessed by foot or a short drive. The area is very quiet and the grounds are lush with floral vegetation. The pool is large and there are plenty of lounges around the pool. Our condo was exactly as shown in the photos. Even beach towels and umbrellas were available. The appliances were top notch and the view from the balcony of the ocean was spectular. The bed and pillows were super comfy. All the amenities were there to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Marco was both super patient and helpful when we couldn’t figure out how to use the washing machine and the safety box. One suggestion tho is to bring your own DVD’s and CD’s as the TV stations were mostly in Portuguese. We would highly recommend this condo and will consider returning here in future.

Exploratory trip

The property and the complex it is in are both very well described and maintained. We didn’t have a car and walked to the marina (20 mins, steep hill on return) and into the old part of albufera (50 mins) each day. So a car isn’t needed as long as you are happy to walk a far bit. No public transit but plenty of Ubers. (5 euros into town). Beautiful beaches walking distance and restaurants on coastline. Local shop 15 min walk but bigger one in town. Owner very helpful allowed us to leave our luggage on the last day inside appt as taxi to collect us not til 5.30. Used her suggestion of yellow fish taxi Co and extremely impressed with them. Finding the appartment is difficult in the dark as not that well signposted on the complex, taxi driver wouldn’t leave us until we had found it. Expect to find only coffee and tea.
