Heavenly Algarve Vacation

Our stay was wonderful. We were looking for a quiet getaway but one that was convenient to all the sites we wanted to see. Sunsets from the balcony were stunning- a quick walk to the beach and many excellent restaurants within walking distance.

Lovely Holiday!!

This was a great apartment in a superb location. The accommodation had everything that we needed and was located within easy reach of beaches and shops. We found the marina a great place to take a stroll down to for dinner and drinks, with enough going on without it being too noisy/busy. The pool is great and the kids happily entertained themselves whilst we chilled out on the sunloungers provided.

The apartment provided by Carey and Peter was fantastic. The check-in/out process was seamless and really accommodating. Excellent location, beautifully presented apartment in a well kept development within a 5 minute walk to the beautiful Sao Rafael beach and close to all of the desired areas of Albufeira.

Great location, just far enough from the hustle and bustle of old town Albufeira. Close to three of the best beaches in the area. The apartment is well appointed with everything you may need for an extended stay. Many restaurants within walking distance. Close to marina if you want to to take various types of water tours Nice quiet pool with a snack bar and bar. Check in was a breeze. Would highly recommend. A real gem.
