Super comfortable apartment with outstanding balcony!

We had the best stay here with our toddler. It was spacious, spotless and so comfortable - everything we could possibly need for a weeks holiday. We had asked for a cot and highchair (provided no problem - complete with extra touches such as children’s bedding, pillow and towel) but the apartment is super child-friendly - a children's table and chairs (our son loved this!) toys, books, children’s plates, cups and cutlery and beach toys/games! The apartment feels modern - bed was very comfortable, blackout bedroom with usb chargers, soft close doors throughout, plenty of storage space to unpack and two very nice shower rooms with toilets. The best part where we spent most of our time was the huge gorgeous balcony. It was lovely and I’m so glad we chose it over a small hotel balcony. It has a large dining table, comfy chairs to lounge in, hammock, sofa and day bed. Apartment was sound proof and even on the balcony noise was to a minimum (a few drunk people leaving the hotel around 10pm but not disruptive) mostly just listening to the birdsong and looking at the top of the tall trees. It was heaven! The use of the two hotel pools just a stones throw away was great, the staff there were very friendly and made amazing cocktails and sangria pitchers. We walked to local beaches (one is only 5 mins walk away - so conveninet and has a nice beach bar/resturant on but otherwise is unpoilt and quiet) and for a bit more options to eat and drink we walked further along to Olhos de Água or caught bus/taxi to Albuferia. The host Natalia was very friendly and reached out by Whatsapp for anything we needed. Also arranged an airport transfer at short notice. We can't wait to return!!

Relaxing and comfortable stay.

Well equipped, clean, spacious, lots of amenities, ample parking. Natalia made sure we had everything we needed as was always prepared to assist.

Nothing that jumps to mind.

Superb

The location is superb, a five to ten minute walk (slightly up/downhill) from the local beach, which was never too crowded, even at peak season! The apartment was extremely well equipped with everything you could possibly need (particularly if you have small children) and was cleaned midweek with fresh towels layed out. There is air conditioning in the main bedroom (which has an enormous, comfortable bed!) and a fan in the second bedroom which was perfectly adequate for the kids ;) and has one double, and one single bed. There is easy access to two swimming pools (for which you are supplied access cards for, and will need to show whenever you want to gain entry. The larger pool located in the middle of the complex is deeper and busier, the other to the side of the reception is quieter and not so deep) There is a SPAR mini market literally opposite the accommodation which is super helpful and even a small cafe inside, so if you arrive too early you can sit inside for a munch! You can also leave your luggage at the reception if you’re early.

Overall the property is great. Spacious, light and airy with all the amenities you need and with a large balcony that looks out towards the pool/reception area. My only negative comment would be that some of the interior would benefit from some modernisation, but we had a very pleasant stay and would happily return.

Had everything our family needed was just home from home. Just close enough to walk into the busier areas for food etc but was happy to be staying away from there. Perfect location for us, the beach was perfect.

Beautiful apartment between two stunning beaches

Perfect apartment for a family with everything you could need - incredibly clean, comfortable and well equipped. It definitely lives up to the 'superior' label - lots of space, beautifully decorated, high quality finishes, two bathrooms, huge balcony with dining area plus hammock and comfy day bed. It was the perfect place to relax and we made full use of the children's toys and beach equipment. The pool was a little too cold this early in the year but two stunning beaches are within a 20 minute walk and Zoo Marine a 20 minute drive. Carlos and Natalia were great hosts, keeping in regular contact and even checking we were ok after hearing reports of noisy neighbours (we weren't bothered). Highly recommended, I'm sure we'll be back.

Nothing! Some people might prefer to be closer to the beaches but we enjoyed the walk.

Excellent condo with fantastic balcony. The T2 had sufficient beds for our family of 5. And the toys and library of books in portuguese and english kept our kids happy and entertained! Excellent location - we walked to restaurants and a beautiful beach. The hosts are very attentive and even made sure we knew which grocery stores would still be open when we arrived.

Family beach holiday in the Algarve in well equipped appartment.

The host Natalia sent us lots of information in advance and during the stay and the reception staff were very helpful. The Apartment was well equipped, with lots of extras like coffee pods and a supermarket over the road easy to get food. The large balcony/terrace was a great place to rest and eat - the hammock was very popular. Nice pool and Three Excellent beaches in walking distance and places to eat - Alfugar Cafeteria (really a nice restaurant)and Portobella Pizza popular with our family.

Wifi a bit variable - but only a minor point compared to all the good points!

Luxury apartment at affordable rates

The apartment has been recently refinished and it is awesome! Comfortable rooms and living area, fully stocked kitchen, great veranda. Even the little finishes, like USB chargers in the bedroom outlets, made the stay easy and comfortable. 10 min walk to a lovely beach and free access to the pools at the hotel, plenty of towels and extra linens and beach toys for the kids! Hosts are kind and helpful and the apartment was spotless when we arrived. A terrific holiday rental, a luxury stay at affordable prices. We hope to return very soon!

3 night stay close to beach

Proximity to beach, swimming Pool, supermarket and nearby restaurants. about 15 min drive to albufeira old Town. Carlos was extremely communicative, welcoming and the most flexible of all the hosts we encountered on our Portugal trip.

- The house (shower) and furniture needs updating. - The check-in process was not very clear. The Hotel Reception lady said make left and left, but she did not specify left out towards the gate (closes to main street). We drove around the complex numerous times before going back and asking for Instructions again.

Appt has everything one can expect or even more... like the owners lived here for year or two themselves (with the children) and then started renting it. Our children definitively loved it. Lots of toys including big box of lego... but also all the "beach equipment" an children beach toys too
