Outstanding !

This apartment is excellent. It is modern, spacious, well furnished and with excellent appliances so is ideal for self caterers. It is in a great spot within the complex, on the ground floor and close to the pool area which whilst I was staying was very quiet. The whole area is quiet. Location is good, quite a short walk to the Marina and the centre of Vilamoura for shops and restaurants. It is also close to the golf courses and would make an ideal place to stay for a golfing holiday. The owner was very helpful before and during my stay and answered a couple of queries I had very quickly, and also allowed me to check in early and check out late which helped me a lot.

Great Apartment

Spent two weeks in October at this apartment on the ground floor. Very clean and spacious and of high standard within a small complex . Pool was great, a few footsteps away from apartment. Easy walking distance to the Marina where you will find lots of restaurants to choose from, family golf also nearby which is worth a visit. Taxis cost between 4 and 7 Euros depending on the time of day / night you use them. Would return to this apartment again. Communication with Mark the owner was great. Has no one was in the apartment prior to our arrival we were able to enter the apartment a lot earlier than 14:00hrs which was a bonus has we had an early morning flight. Thank you so much Mark for this.

Fantastic apartment

We’ve stayed at Praia Village on 2 previous occasions, but having this ground floor apartment made our holiday even more enjoyable. The apartment was very clean and spacious and had everything you could need . The owner was always prompt in communicating and kindly accommodated our early check in. A fantastic apartment in very well maintained grounds with a great swimming pool. We’ll definitely be back.

A wonderful second stay at Apt.J

Our family of 3 returned to Apt.J again this year as we enjoyed it so much last year. Mark arranged our private transfer from the airport which made it hassle free (especially with a toddler). We were able to get in to the apartment early as no one had been staying the day before. The apartment was spotlessly clean and the beds and travel cot were all made up ready. Our little one absolutely loved the pool area and being on the ground floor it was such easy access. We love that the complex never feels too crowded and is in a quiet area of vilamoura. Mark was very helpful with queries we had during our stay and I couldn’t fault his communication with us prior to the holiday either. A stress free and very relaxing holiday! Just what we needed. We will most definitely be back to stay. Thankyou so much to Mark and his wife for allowing us to stay in their apartment for a second time. Charlie, Carl and Freddie

Great apartment and great stay

Just had an 8 day stay here, which was great. Communication with the owner prior to the holiday was second to none and even had to contact him during the stay, which had a swift response. The apartment was on the ground level, meaning you can come and go as you wish, rather than cart all your stuff down to the pool each day. The apartment gets the sun until around 5.30pm - good for sun lovers. There is shade around the pool area if you need it and the patio area gets the shade from about 12ish. The apartment itself was spacious and clean and exactly as the photos show. The place is very quiet. We went 1 week prior to the schools breaking up (which was very quiet). The second part of the week got busier but there were always beds around the pool available at all times of day and rarely was the pool full. Villamoura itself was a good 20 mins walk each evening which we didn't mind - where most of the restaurants are.

An amazing week in a fantastic apartment

A wonderful stay. Before we arrived Mark made sure we had all the information we needed and once we were there we felt at home straight away. The apartment is amazing and the complex very clean and welcoming. We had an awesome week and will definitely be returning.

Another great holiday

Just returned from 3 lovely weeks in this apartment. We’ve been to Apartment J many times and find it perfect for us. Very homely, spotless in regards to cleanliness and in a great location, the complex is very quiet and private, so peaceful during the day, the swimming pool and gardens are beautifully maintained. Vilamoura is an amazing town to visit and the marina is exceptional. Thanks Mark for another great holiday.

Excellent apartment beautifully laid out.

Fantastic customer service from Mark the owner who communicated throughout the booking process. We found the apartment spotless clean it ticked all the boxes for a relaxing peaceful holiday with a accurate description of layout and facilities. I would most certainly return to this apartment in the future and have already recommended it to friends and relatives.

Exceeded expectations

Loved our stay at Praia Village and have already booked our return stay. We felt very safe on the complex and the kids made many friends and spent all day playing around the pool leaving the adults to relax. The apartment exceeded our expectations and if anything I didn't think the photo's did it justice.

Excellent property rental in Praia Village.

Stayed in this gorgeous apartment for 10 days in June 2018. Apartment was very well equipped and spacious. Ideally located on the ground floor with access to the pool area on your doorstep. Very clean and well maintained. Close proximity to the beach and marina. I would not hesitate to recommend this rental. Very happy.

Fantastic apartment in a lovely area of vilamoura

What a fantastic week we have just had in vilamoura. Our apartment was fantastic and perfect for our little family of 3. The apartment very clean and well equipped. The ground floor location is perfect for the pool and the terrace offers great views over the grounds and pool. Private sun beds mean you don’t need to rush to put your towels out haha. The walk to the harbour was around 15/20mins and only 5 mins to the local Spar supermarket. We were so happy with our stay, we have inquired about staying again next year. Thank you Mark for a wonderful stay.

Great Location

Having rented several properties I think one of the most important things is being able to trust who you are renting the property from. From start to finish Mark was to hand and answered any questions I had almost immediately. The transfers were fantastic real classy vehicle and extremely polite drivers. The apartment was lovely, clean, fully equipped with everything you would need. Even found a bucket and truck for the beach which my grandson loved, kept him occupied. The pool was lovely my grandson did not want to come out of it. 15 mins walk to fantastic falasia beach and marina where there are fab places to eat and drink whilst people watching and watching the sun go down. Children are welcomed in all the establishments. Jaffers and Spar are approx. 15 mins walk from the apartment, Jaffers is the better of the 2 with lots of choice. We added the Uber app and after a full shop the taxi cost 4 euros very reasonable. I would definitely recommend this apartment.

Sunshine Break

Great apartment in a fantastic location. It's about a 15 minute walk to the marina/beach/bars, but the apartment complex has it's own pool if you choose to stay on sight for the day. Vilamoura is a lovely little town with something for everyone. If you just want a lazy day on the beach or if you want to take a boat excursion from the marina or a round of golf at their world famous golf courses, it's all there. Vilamoura is also well situated to connect up with other areas like Lagos, Albufeifa, Carvoeiro etc. Mark's apartment is excellent. Very clean throughout and all the mod cons. Mark is also an excellent host, who takes time to supply so much information in his welcome pack, from where to eat, where to visit, down to how to work the TV. We would certainly stay in Mark's apartment again if the opportunity arose.

Our second visit and just as good as the first!!!!

Clean, very well equipped, modern furnishings, lovely grounds, great pool for kids. Perfect location being quiet, yet only 15 minute walk to the harbour, with shops and supermarket even closer. A great place for a relaxing holiday where the kids can still have fun and with lovely restaurants and bars a nice walk away. Our second visit, we will be returning again and would definitely recommend.

Excellent stay in a comfortable apartment.

Hello Mark, We are back in France after two lovely weeks in Vilamoura. Your apartment and its environment correspond perfectly to the description that you gave in. It was spotless and met our expectations. No problems with the equipments, that were all in excellent condition. So a very good impression. Some suggestions: 1 In good weather, we used to take our meals on the terrace. The outdoor table is a little 'tired'. A supple and washable tablecloth would be good. 2 We only had a general map of the Algarve. It would be useful to find in your apartment, a Vilamoura / Quarteria plan that allows us the first day to orient ourselves more easily. For example we have not managed to find the tourist office. Some informations for golfers: We played 6 times the nearest golf courses (Oceanico Millennium and Laguna - 3km, Pine Cliffs between Vilamoura and Albuferia - 6km, and Salgados west of Albuferia -20km). Prices are quite high but if you play in the afternoon (twilight optional) you pay ½ price, what becomes very interesting. The Balahia be avoided except for beginners. In conclusion excellent stay in a comfortable apartment. Thank you Mark

Much enjoyed our Portugal holiday

Although initially a little dubious about staying in a ground floor apartment, my wife and I found it to be a very convenient location for quick and easy access to the grounds, pool and gated exits. The apartment itself was very clean and presented to a high standard with all appliances in good working order and easy to use. Our overall impression was of a homely and friendly atmosphere pervading the complex making it a relaxing place to stay. Vilamoura harbour shops and restaurants are just a 15 minutes walk away. We will definitely be making a return visit.

Another great holiday at Praia Villege

We visited this beautiful apartment in July 2014 and absolutely loved it. The cleanliness of the apartment was first class, it has all the amenities you could wish for and more. The surrounding gardens, pool area and area outside the complex is picturesque and it is just a short walk (10 mins) to the Marina and beach. There is also a small complex (approx. 5 mins walk) with restaurants and shop which is great too. The correspondence from Mark (the owner) in advance of our holiday and the details left in the apartment is really detailed and comprehensive, which was extremely useful. Mark also arranged transfers from the airport with a company that had excellent service, which was very much appreciated. We would definitely recommend this property to others and will be visiting again in September 2015

Why they chose this property

It's on the ground floor so near all your facilities like the fridge or toilet

What makes this property unique

Close enough to the airport (30 minutes), close enough to the beach or marina (15 minutes walking) but far enough away to have peace and quiet when you need it
