Muito bom alojamento, localização otima, piscina, perto de tudo. Apenas a limpeza não é muito boa.

Really good stay at this apartment. Restaurants and beach within a 5 minute walk and supermarket round the corner. Only negative is that the beds are really hard to sleep on and the amenities are a bit dated but I guess that’s why this apartment is cheaper than others on the complex. It’s an ideal place to stay location wise though and Paulo was very easy to deal with.

Everything about the apartment is good. Possibly becoming a little dated for some but I found it great

The 2 bedroom apartment was fairly big with a good patio area It is a great location easy walking to beach close to Intermarche supermarket and easy walking to all restaurants and bars in Alvor. The inside of the apartment although very clean is very basically furnished and the pots and pans crockery etc in kitchen could do with renewed . The few little issues we had were resolved very quickly by Marta who also changed bedding and cleaned the apartment each week, We would certainly consider using again for long winter rent if the price was within our budget

We arrived on the 7th of March in Alvor and the weather was beautiful. We used to stay oin hotels in Alvor the years before, but as we were trabvelling with Anton, our small dog, for the first time, we had to stay in an apartment, as dogs are not accepted in Portugese hotels. We found a very comfortable, big apartment with all the comfort you need for a relaxing holiday: sunbeds and umbrellas on the terrace, two large bedrooms and bathrooms, a huge livingroom and a kitchen with all the necessary apüpliances: washing machine and dishwasher, vacuum cleaner, coffee machine, nice cups and plates, enough towels etc. The apartment was very tidy and clean; once a week a young lady came to tidy up, which was included in the price. It is a very quiet resort, the pool is large and beautifukl and although it was still rather cold (16 degrees?) I had a nice long swim every morning. We loved breakfast on the sunny terrace and enjoyed the short footwalk to the beaches. In Alvor you find many restaurants, where they serve delicious meals, but I prefered shopping in the nearby markethall and cooking things noot available at home. For nice evenings out we recomment Noras Restaurant (on the right side on a hill in direction of the motorway,, watch the sign), and the Windsurf Beachbar. All in all, we will definitely come back to Paulos apartment next year. Thanks again to Paulo's father for helping us with the toll :-) Sabine and Peter

This was the 5th time that we staid in Alvor and three times we had an apartment at Vila da Praia. This apartment we liked very much as it is situated on the ground floor with view on the swimming pool. For the children and for us this was very good as we could also watch from our terrace. The apartment is fully equipped and we did not missed anything. Paulo was very kind and we love to rent his apartment next time again. Thanks for the wonderful holiday.

we got a nice welcome from paulos dad.the villa was clean and tidy. it was a 5 minute walk to the shops and bars. perfect for 4 drinking golfers. the villa had two bathrooms one with a very poor shower unit that leaked when used. but apart from that it was fine.we will be booking early next year. john rank

Very good accommodation, well located. Everything went well - a very friendly welcome. Thank-you.

Our party of 4 adults and 2 children (ages 4 and 5) spent a fabulous week in the sunshine of Alvor. Tha appartment, on a small secure complex, was ideally situated close to the beach and village centre and we visited both each day. The beach was one of the nicest we have visited - clean and uncrowded with 2 restaurants and bars nearby. We were told aboout several other beaches nearby which were reputed to be very pretty but we were content to stay on Alvor beach. We arrived quite late at night due to a delayed flight but Paolo' s father was there to help us and explain where we should find things. There was a welcome bowl of fresh fruit and bottle of water for which we were very grateful. Paolo was most helpful and attentive throughout the whole transaction. The lovely appartment is beautifully situated on the ground floor overlooking the garden and pool - really convenient. It was spacious,clean and well equipped. We had packed breakfast cereal in case of being unable to find a shop open if we were late and this proved invaluable for the children- although the taxi driver who picked us up at the airport was wonderful in trying to find a supermarket . He even offered to go to his home for milk if we had been unable to find some! We mention this because the main supermarket which is 5 mins away from the appartment closed at 8pm(it could be later in summer) However we did discover a mimimarket in the village opposite the tourist information which stayed open until 10pm. There are many lovely restaurants around the harbour -the fish dishes were fantastic. We went to a different one each evening and enjoyed them all. We also went to Georget's in the village -highly recommended -booking essential. Thge pizza restaurant overlooking the harbour was also good. This was essentially a sunshine holiday for the children and so we did not do any sightseeing except to stroll around the village which we enjoyed but we are returning next summer and look forward to many outings to see things we found out about. All in all this was a most enjoyable holiday. We would recommend the appartment and the complex. I can understand why people return many times. Thank you to all.

We had a lovely time in Alvor (having been many times in the past) and would stay at this apartment again. The location is great, it was clean, large and well equiped, I was even able to puree food for my 6mth old baby with the hand blender! The sun shone on the terrace for most of the day and I could always see my daughter when she was playing in the main pool area. Paulo was very helpful and the water and fruit when we arrived was a thoughtful touch. We wish we could have stayed longer. Thanks and see you again!

Great spacious apartment in a fantastic location in Alvor which is great for the beach and centre. We were greeted on arrival and given all the information we needed and the apartment was very clean. It was ample big enough for 4 adults and a toddler and very child friendly. The pool was great and the complex very secure. We had a very relaxing stay. Thank you for a great holiday!

Our stay in Villa da Praia was superb, the location of the complex is perfect for the beach and also Alvor town, the complex has a secure entry so feels very safe. The apartment is well situated on the ground floor over looking the Pool, and is very well equiped, its is very clean and perfect for a couple or a family. Paulo was very helpfull throughout and also arranged a very good transfer from Faro to Alvor. It is our 4th time in Alvor and we would definately stay at this apartment again. No negatives to mention

August 2009 - this is the second time we have holidayed in Paulo's apartment. It is two bedroomed which is great for our two boys and us. The pool is literally a stone's throw from the apartment terrace, so you can pop backwards and forwards as you wish. The apartment itself is spotlessly clean and Paulo's Dad is always there to meet you on arrival. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone wanting a relaxing poolside holiday - although there is much to explore on the island if you can drag yourself away from the pool!

Thank you very much for a beautiful apartment which was exactly what we required. Near enough to the Beach to allow us to have a nice walk every day and a lovely pool which, allowed some of us to have a quiet morning swim. The facilities in the apartment were excellent apart from now understanding the locking system in the front door and locking ourselves out on a few occasions so perhaps for the dummies like us it would be an idea to have some instruction about it on the inside of the door. The Village of Alvor retains much of its original charm and again we were but a short walk from its centre. Thank you again and I hope we can return in the near future Marjorie

Stayed here October 2007 with husband and 2 older teenage daughters (this apartment) and my sister, her young daughter and our senior citizen parents (another apartment close by) and we had the perfect holiday! Have been to Alvor twice previously so we really love the place and knew the location of these apartments would be perfect for access to the town (5 minute walk) and the beach (5 minute walk). 1st impression of apartment was extremely pleasing, lots of space and immaculate but simple decoration along with a welcome bowl of fruit! All our needs were catered for - you only need to bring a toothbrush and wash equipment! As per photo this apartment opens onto the pool, a perfect setting for breakfast as you get the sun here from early morning to mid afternoon when you can move out onto the pool area!Access to the complex is via a security entry system with parking within the grounds. Can thoroughly recommend.

This 2 bed property is in an excellect location just 5 minutes stroll from both the beach and town of Alvor. Both bedrooms are spacious with plenty of storage. The kitchen is fully equipped with all mod cons. The living area is comfortable with tv and dvd player - essential with young kids. There is air con in the living room and one of the bedrooms, the 2nd bedroom has a large fan. As this property is on the ground floor it does not have a view of the sea however its aspect is directly onto the pool which enables you to stay on your own patio for sunbathing which is very handy. It is in very close proximity to the beach and town so there is no need to hire a car unless you want to travel further afield. All the restaurants we went to in Alvor were excellent especially if you love fresh fish - as far as I can tell all fish was freshly caught that day! Those in the harbour area all have a 'street-side' bbq where they cook all the fish and meat. The Italian restaurant is also very good especially if you can get a table on the top floor with the view over the town and harbour. We enjoyed our holidy in Alvor so much that we are going to go there again next year! Now that's a recommendation!!
