Lovely apartment

We had a great holiday, the apartment was really clean, stylish and equipped with everything we needed for a family holiday. The pool and bar area were brilliant and less than two minutes walk away. The area is quiet and peaceful, the marina with lots of bars and restaurants is no more than a fifteen minute walk away.Would highly recommend staying here.

Really lovely apartment, very comfortable & had everything we needed. Communication with Michelle from the moment of booking was excellent, she was always on hand to answer any questions we had. The complex which the apartment is on was great, very quiet and hardly anyone round the pool so always lots of sunbeds to choose from (this was mid September). The restaurant on site was fab, a great menu & very reasonably priced, very friendly staff. About a 15 minute walk to the marina, a bit further to the old town. We would definitely visit again.

Great location and easy process

We chose the property based on its location in the Algarve region since we planned to explore the area in day trips. The check in process was really easy and the space was great for us (2 adults 1 child). The welcome book provided by the hosts has so much information about the area including detailed guidance on beaches and areas of interest, as well as a comprehensive list of local restaurants. We didn’t use the tennis or pool because we were busy the entire time with all the region has to offer.

Wonderful stay

The apartment is very nice & comfortable. Kitchen is well equipped. Balcony was a good size for 2 people. Michelle was very responsive to all our queries. A couple of observations: there is no wifi in the apartment, you have to go to restaurant/pool which is slow & not secure; 32 steps to climb to get up to front door so anyone with mobility issues might find it challenging; no A/C but host compensated with 2 floor fans. Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay. Thank you, Michelle & Mike.
