Birthday celebration

A lovely apartment for a weeks holiday to celebrate a special birthday. Location very central to the village and beach. No need for a car if you only want to stay in Alvor. Occasionally there weren't sufficient sunbeds around the pool but plenty of sun on the grass around the terrace of the apartment.

Lovely apartment in great location.

Can't fault anything about this apartment. Very well equipped and spotlessly clean, comfortable beds and furniture, spacious rooms and on ground floor. Alvor's beautiful beach is a ten minute stroll away and the old town is even closer, yet the apartment is still in a peaceful and quiet area. Book with confidence.

Pleasant six days in Alvor

Pleasant basic apartment, very well situated to enjoy the old town of Alvor, and its many restaurants ,the beach and the promenades on the different board walks, and also convenient to explore the surrounding coastal villages,The equipment in the kitchen was quite satisfactory, the living room comfortable, the shower-bath somewhat tricky, and we did not like the polyester bed sheets.The contact person at the property was very helpful and solved the initial internet problem.

Friends trip to Alvor

A beautiful apartment in a great location. Well equipped with a lovely pool. One minor issue was the fact that the bath sealant needs replacing. Every time the shower was used we had to put towels on the floors to prevent the bathroom flooding. But overall a great apartment.

Relaxing and Beautiful

This apartment is really fantastic! Very clean, comfy beds and great outdoor space. The pool is so nice, and the children's section worked great for our little one. Grace was a pleasure to work with. She made our stay with my 10 month old so much easier by providing both a high chair and travel cot. Additionally, she made herself available so that the toy rental company I used could drop off some items before we arrived. Also, the town of Alvor is great in itself, and you can easily walk there or to the beach from the apartment. We would love to stay here again if we return to the Algarve.
