Great Winter

Even though it was a terrible season for rain, we had a great time in the Algarve. The unit was exactly as described and the location couldn't have been better. Took Uber to tons of restaurants and we backed onto the golf course. We had an issue with the water heater and the owners had it fixed immediately, great service.We would definitely stay there again and highly recommend the condo.

Lovely Apartment

Our stay at your apartment during December was very enjoyable. The apartment and indeed all the apartments at Palmyra were extremely nice and very well presented including the outside pool areas and gardens, the underground parking and security gates makes this development a great choice. We have stayed at Vila Sol on many many occasions and always enjoy our time there. We always hire a car which is an essential and the golf is always good and the green fees this year were half price really excellent value. A great place to come with or without children, the restaurants in Almancil are fab. Your apartment was perfect, very clean and spacious and one of the best we have stayed in.

Fantastic apartment!

Has to be one of the best apartments we've ever stayed in! Set in beautiful gardens, a stone's throw from a lovely pool, it is perfect. The pool is great for kids and adults alike with a very gradual shallow end for little ones and a deeper end for more able swimmers. The apartment itself is extremely well equipped and has lovely decor. It has A/C throughout and is very spacious. There is a lovely big bedroom downstairs as well as 2 on the ground floor. Underground parking is an added bonus. If you don't hire a car then an Uber to the marina costs around €5 each way. We did hire a car and got it considerable cheaper through Doyouspain. Clodagh gave us really good communication. I cannot recommend highly enough! We will definitely be booking this apartment when we visit Portugal again. 5***** Here's some places you may wish to visit: Aqushow, which is just around the corner. We got out tickets for €23 by searching for a discount code. Fantastic water park. Take a picnic to save money! Zoomarine is a great day out. Don't miss the pirate show! Tickets online were €31 but you can do a second day for €10. Food at the park was, pretty reasonable. If you fancy something different, head down to Arthur's watersports at Vale do Lobo and hire a pedalo for €20 for 30 minutes on the lake. There's a lovely board walk through an area of natural beauty with a bridge that takes you over the dunes onto the beach. Here there's a little snack place where you can grab a drink, sandwich, ice cream. There's also a mini golf nearby called Par Tee golf where for €13 you can have a round of golf and a drink. The mini golf in Villamora is also brilliant. It has 2 18 hole courses. For a great cheap meal or takeaway, try the chicken shack in Quarteira, near Lidl. You'll get a whole spit roast chicken and chips for around €5 (takeaway).

lucia apartment 4th -14th sept 2011

we found the apartment to be exactly as listed, modern, right beside the swimming pool, very spacious and the kitchen literally had everything you could want. There was also a safety gate for the stairs. the apartment was spotless when we arrived and is very well maintained. it is the perfect location for a holiday with young children, we travelled with a 3.5 yr old and 14month old and it really was home from home. Car rental is necessary. we didnt eat out with the kids but popped to the hypermarket 5 mins away everyday for fresh food. we brought our sky card which was a big advantage as the girls cold watch their bedtime show. there were lots of families there at the same time with young kids (under 5's) so we had nice company. a lot of the people we met were return visitors to the complex. i would recommend lucia apartment to friends and family and would return again.
