About this apartment rental
Luxury two bedroom air-conditioned apartment in the 5 star Alto Country Club, one of the premier resorts in the Algarve. The historic fishing village of Alvor, with a large choice of excellent restaurants and shops, is within easy walking distance as are some of the best beaches in Portugal, notably the famous Praia dos Três Irmãos. Alvor is in reality a suburb of Portimao, the largest city in the western Algarve, and the seaside resorts of Praia da Rocha and Lagos are also nearby offering a wide variety of family entertainment.
The apartment, air-conditioned throughout, is spacious and well appointed and offers guests quality and comfortable accommodation. It has been recently renovated with super-fast Wi-Fi (200 Mb/s), satellite TV, remote controlled shutters, double glazed patio doors, sliding mosquito barriers, wood burning log fire, wall mounted electric radiator panels and a new fully equipped modern kitchen. There is a large outside patio area with comfortable recliner chairs and a dining table for 6 people.
The apartment has underground car parking, and is quietly located centrally within the Alto Club, away from the perimeter road, with virtually its own private secluded south west facing garden just across from the indoor swimming pool. The wider Alto Club gardens have been beautifully landscaped with a stunning array of tropical vegetation, waterfalls and ponds well stocked with Koi carp.
Guests also have access to two sun loungers and umbrellas on the Alvor beach situated in front of the Restinga Restaurant on presentation of their resort card which they will receive when first registering with the Alto reception.
The apartment will appeal to families, couples and golfers alike, who can benefit from a 40% discount on green fees at the nearby par 72 Alto golf course, designed by Sir Henry Cotton and managed by the Pestana Group, on presentation of their resort card.
The Club also has a wide range of on-site facilities including a large outdoor pool and a heated indoor pool with changing rooms and sauna. There is also a fully equipped gymnasium with fitness classes, and two flood-lit tennis courts with free use of rackets and balls. There is also a children's playground and paddling pool. A high chair and cot are available on request from the reception for a small weekly hire charge paid to the Alto Club direct.
There are two recently refurbished restaurants, The Thyme restaurant, which has a full à la carte menu and Thyme Out bar serving poolside drinks and snacks. Both are operated by the highly rated family restaurant Ruccula in central Alvor. The restaurant has received numerous accolades and 5 star reviews which can be found on the internet.
The reception will be happy to arrange car hire, airport transfers, cycle hire, picnic hampers and local excursions etc. There are discounts available to guests in many local restaurants on presentation of an Alto Club guest card, as well as on many of the excursions. A full list is available at reception.
The apartment is registered as an approved rental with the Portuguese Tourist Association and has been inspected to ensure that aspects of safety and hygiene are of the required standard. License No. 25915/AL.

Surprisingly large rooms and balcony with everything on hand. The wifi was excellent. We enjoyed the swimming pools and gym facilities. Excellent response from the host Paul and reception staff very helpful

We had a great stay at this property. The property was better than the pictures and everything you could possibly need was available. It was a great location for Alvor and although we had a car, you do not need one. The facilities onsite were superb - there is an inside and outside pool (inside also has a sauna) and plenty of outdoor games available including equipment for the tennis, shuffleboard and putting green. We went out of a dolphin tour which the reception was only too happy to book for us and also gave us directions to the pick up location. I highly recommend this property - we will be returning soon!

Great property with everything you need and want, perhaps other than a bbq, great location and great resort, would love to return again. Very good amenities in the property and throughout the Alto resort. Only slight issue is we would prefer property to be cleaned more frequently during our stay.

The property was amazing! Clean, and beautiful. The resort was beautiful and it was in a great location!

We had a wonderful holiday in Alvor in early April. The apartment was fantastic and the facilities on the complex were superb. Short walk into town and to the beach, helpful and friendly staff and host. Couldn’t have been better.
4.9
Check in and out was quick and the front desk people were very helpful. The location is just outside of town A fifteen minute walk to the restaurant area and up the road from the beach 15-17 minute walk There were several restaurants within about five minute walk. The apartment was clean and spacious and well equipped.

Superb experience
Beautifully maintained apartment, we have stayed in a few properties in Alto and this is the nicest. It has been updated to a very high standard and has beautiful personal touches. The owner was very good to deal with and very flexible in the circumstances given the challenges of traveling in these times. Highly recommended

Ideal for families
We found the property very comfortable and clean. The resort is in an ideal location within a 10 minute walk to the beach and town centre, no need for a car. Alto club Itself is a bright, cheerful And friendly property with every amenity close at hand.

Beautiful 5 star vacation property!
This was a first rate vacation home- it was spotlessly clean and fully stocked with everything needed- especially the kitchen!! It was a pleasure to cook in which was required, as at the end of our stay, Alvor, along with the rest of Portugal shut down due to the Covid-19 virus
The interior of the home felt warm and inviting
Even the patio had comfortable lounge chairs for reading and enjoying the sunny weather!
We would definitely return to stay in this property!!

Amazing
We spent the most wonderful week at Paul's apartment.
The apartment was clean, spacious and fully equipped. The resort itself was absolutely beautiful with immaculately manicured gardens in a peaceful setting. Our family used both the indoor and outdoor pools which our children enjoyed immensely.
We had a lovely meal at Cottons ( the onsite restaurant) and all the staff eete extremely friendly.
The location of the apartment is excellent too, a lovely stroll to the beach with dedicated sunbeds and not too far to the nearest supermarket and town for local eateries and shops.
We had a fabulous time and wouldn't hesitate to return or recommend to others.

Simply perfect
As a family, we've been traveling to Alvor for five years. Our usual accommodation wasn't available so. I came upon Pauls.
From the start everything about the apartment was perfect.
The location is amazing, just a short stroll from the village, beach and local amenities, but. yet within its grounds, we felt so secluded and peaceful we could have been miles away from anywhere. The use of bed and umbrella on the beach is a lovely benefit and we never had a problem getting them.
The accommodation is very spacious, beautifully decorated and the kitchen is packed with everything one needs (not that I cooked too much !!) . I loved the grounds that are manicured to perfection and the resident turtles intrigued me, I could have watched them for hours.
To sum all up we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this apartment and I will definitely be booking again. Many thanks, Paul for allowing us to stay.

A perfect three weeks
This is the nicest unit in the nicest complex close to Alvor and the beach. We chose the last three weeks of March because we like the quiet and the cooler temperatures. The apartment has everything you need and the friendly staff are always willing to help. We lucked out with 21 days of sunshine all in the low 20sC! We did take advantage of the fireplace on two of the cooler evenings. The indoor pool is close by and was perfect for lap swimming. The grounds are extremely well cared for. Paul is responsive to any questions or concerns and provided all the information we needed to enjoy our stay. With luck we will be back next year.

Excellent apartment and location
Myself and my two grown-up children spent a relaxing week at Paul's apartment. There was everything that you would need and it was very clean and spacious. It was in a quiet position but the outdoor pool with cafe and indoor pool and gym were within a few minutes walking distance and it was in an ideal position also for walking into the town and to the beach. The Alto Club was well kept with gardeners tending to the lovely gardens and it was just very peaceful to sit on the terrace with landscaped gardens to look out onto. We would definitely recommend it to our friends and family.

Fantastic two bed luxury apartment, would definitely stay again
Really nice, very well equipped luxury apartment, as new and very well kept in every way, walking distance to beach, close to Alvor, situated in the Alto Club, an exclusive, private development of apartments and villas with shared indoor and outdoor pools, immaculate gardens and landscaping, would definitely stay again and confidently recommend to friends and family

The apartment is clean and well equipped - it suited us perfectly!

A GREAT HOLIDAY IN A LUXURY APARTMENT
This apartment 34F is in the Alto Golf and Country Club in Alvor Portugal.
This superb apartment in an ideal location is close to shops and beaches in Alvor.
The apartment is very clean and tastefully decorated and furnished to a very high standard by the owners and is in the same condition as it was when we stayed here two years ago.
The Alto Golf and Country Club has many facilities including an outdoor and indoor pool, restaurant, snack bar and tennis courts.
When you stay in this luxury apartment you are entitled to use one umbrella and two sun beds on the beach at Alvor near to the Restinga Restaurant. These sunbeds are free of charge but you have to go early as there are only a limited number.
The apartment itself has very efficient air-conditioning in the lounge/dining room and both bedrooms. We did not use the air-conditioning much as the apartment stays quite cool during the day when the electric blinds are lowered. It is recommended to keep the blinds down during the day not only because it keeps the apartment cool but also gives it that bit of extra security.
The kitchen is fully fitted with fridge/freezer, induction hob, electric oven, washing machine, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, electronic safe etc. There is also satellite TV, Wi Fi and a very nice patio area with six chairs and a table along with sun loungers as well. It is very pleasant to sit on the patio in the morning to have breakfast. In the afternoon the sun shines directly on the patio so it is ideal for sun bathing although somewhat too hot to sit outside to have a meal until the sun has set. Adjoining the patio is a very pleasant garden which is well looked after by the staff of the Alto club.
The apartment has its own dedicated parking area in the garage beneath the apartment. I think it essential to rent a car at the airport when staying in the Alto club as it is around 67 kms from Faro Airport.
The receptionist in the Alto Club was very helpful on our arrival and gave us a lot of useful information regarding the club and facilities.
There is also a very comprehensive instruction manual with photos in the apartment on how to use all the appliances.
We enjoyed a superb holiday in this luxury apartment and would fully recommend it to anyone who wants a relaxing holiday in Alvor. Many thanks to Paul Miller
This is a ground floor apartment in a golf and country club

cheeky week
Overall it is probably the best equipped self catering property we have stayed in. 3 different ways to make coffee, and that does not include instant!
The property is very clean. Everything is close by, bars and restaurants within an easy walk. The beach another easy walk, immaculately clean, and not busy.
The only downside is that we needed more to do, there are only so many times you can walk around a small shopping area before boredom sets in. We booked the catamaran, half day, excellent. The walking on the boardwalk and beach is very good. That is about it. Great place to go if you want to wind down and relax.

Excellent Apartment, tastefully furnished and very well equipped, thoroughly deserving 5 stars
We really enjoyed our stay in such a lovely apartment and would be very happy to come back again. We have stayed at the Alto Club several times and this apartment is among the best we have rented. It's not just the finishing touches but also the attention to practical needs. We would highly recommend both the apartment and the village of Alvor which is a big holiday favourite of ours.

Superb well equiped apartment on a quiet complex in Alvor.
We have just returned from an eleven night stay in this superb well equipped apartment.
The recent refurbishment has been done to a very high standard and has everything that you are likely to need during your stay.
The apartment has a large terrace with ample seating and sun loungers overlooking the well cared for gardens.
The electric shutters give extra security as well as keeping the apartment cool during the day.
Alvor is one of our favourite places to visit, a very traditional fishing village with a variety of restaurants and a fantastic beach.
This apartment is one of the best we have stayed at in Alvor and we look forward to returning again next year.
Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely apartment.

Superb accomodation in premier resort. Fantastically well equipped and beautifully decorated.
The apartment is in a very peaceful and quiet corner of the Alto Club, but within easy walking distance of food shops, cafes and restaurants. Also the beach is 10 minutes away. The beach, the Praia dr Tres Irmaos, is one of the best and most famous beaches in the Algarve, and it possible to walk all the way along it to Praia da Rocha depending on the tides. The Alto Club has recently been acquired by its owner residents and is in the process of being renovated. The gardens are superb and there is a permanent full time staff of 11 gardeners who maintain it to a very high standard. The club also has an excellent restaurant and snack bar so if you don't fancy a walk into the town, where there are now 100s of restaurants to choose from, you can have an excellent meal a short stroll away from the apartment. Staying at the club also entitles you to a 40% discount on green fees at the nearby Alto Golf Club and also 10% off many local restaurants. There is also a free concession for chairs and a sun shade at the Restinga cafe beach, again within walking distance. The apartment has its own underground parking space beneath the building. The apartment is fully air conditioned with electric shutters, and also good electric heaters and a wood burning stove if you are staying in the out of season times of the year, perfect for a winter golf break. The reception was always on hand when needed and were extremely helpful when arranging local excursions or restaurants. The apartment was beautifully clean when we arrived and there was a mid-week clean and linen clean provided. The owner has invested in some beautiful tiled murals on the patio and other works of art within the apartment and the patio is very well equipped with comfortable lounge furniture and teak tables and chairs. All in all we had one of the best rental experiences we have had this time holidaying in the Algarve. The weather was excellent and the apartment has everything you need to a very high standard. We will be back next year if available.

Very good refurbished apartment

Beautiful apartment in the wonderful Alto Club in Alvor
The apartment is extremely well appointed and in a great location in the Alto Club, with views of the gardens to the rear. The air con in the bedrooms and living room works incredibly well. The Alto Club is really beautiful and the pool is large and set within beautiful gardens. The beach is also extremely nice and we had no problem getting sun loungers every day that we wanted. We have had a wonderful 2 weeks in Alvor and I can't recommend the apartment, the Alto Club and the Algarve highly enough.

A SUPERB APARTMENT IN A SUPERB LOCATION
This is a superb apartment in an ideal location close to the shops and beaches in Alvor.
The apartment has been very tastefully decorated and furnished by the owners and as everything appeared to be brand new it seemed as if we were the first guests to have rented the place since it was refurbished.
The apartment is situated in the Alto Golf and Country Club where there are many facilities including an outdoor pool, an indoor pool, restaurant, snack bar and tennis courts. We never used the outdoor pool even though the weather was hot and sunny. We did however use the indoor pool which is heated and situated very close to the apartment. The indoor pool also has an area with sun beds which is ideal for sun bathing.
When you stay in this luxury apartment you are entitled to used one umbrella and two sun beds on the beach at Alvor near to the Restinga Restaurant. These sunbeds are free of charge but you have to go early as there are only a limited number.
The apartment itself has very efficient air-conditioning in the lounge/dining room and both bedrooms. We did not use the air-conditioning much as the apartment stays quite cool during the day when the electric blinds are lowered.

It is very pleasant to sit on the patio in the morning to have breakfast. In the afternoon the sun shines directly on the patio so it is ideal for sun bathing although somewhat too hot to sit outside to have a meal until the sun has set. Adjoining the patio is a very pleasant garden which is well looked after by the staff of the Alto club.
Although the apartment does not have its own dedicated parking area, we always found somewhere to park close by. I think it essential to rent a car at the airport when staying in the Alto club.
The receptionist in the Alto Club were very helpful on our arrival and gave us a lot of useful information regarding the club and facilities. There is also a very comprehensive instruction manual with photos in the apartment on how to use all the appliances.
We enjoyed a superb holiday in this luxury apartment and would fully recommend it to anyone who wants a relaxing holiday in Alvor. Many thanks to Paul Miller and we look forward to staying here again next year.
