This is an excellent bright and clean apartment, with a spacious comfortable double bedroom, a modern kitchen, a good shower, and a welcoming dining/sitting area.The complex is well-maintained and is perfectly situated between the old town and the new town. A nearby taxi-rank and city bus-stop mean that it is easy to get around.It has a good-sized, clean, swimming pool with plenty of sunbeds. There are many nearby bars, restaurants, and shops; but none are so near as to create noise or disturbance.Maria was easily contacted before and during our stay, and was very helpful.We would not hesitate to stay again.

The actual apartment was quite lovely and clean. Maria got back to us quickly but the address is not visible so it took along time to find in our rented car. There were also no face cloths ,dish cloths and one small roll toilet paper. Maybe this is normal in Portugal so just remember to take these things. It has a nice pool but we didn’t have time to use.

The balcony view was of the parking lot, so not terribly scenic.The kitchen was well set up and had everything we needed.The bed was very comfortable and the bedroom had adequate storage.The only complaint we had was that the living room couch was extremely uncomfortable. In fact I spent the month sitting on the dining room chair to watch TV.Overall, it was an attractive apartment, just like the pictures that are posted.The location was excellent with easy access to public transport, grocery stores and restaurants.

Albufeira vacation

Very nice property with 3 restaurants in the complex. If you are looking for a quiet place, this is it and just a short walk to the Oura strip to enjoy night life, restaurants and bars as well as Oura beach. The complex is very clean and you can enjoy quiet pool side. The host is very quick in answering questions. It was a lovely stay!! Thank you Maria :)

Apartment was clean and spacious and had everything you needed. It’s close to the Strip but quiet so allowed for good sleep. You can walk to the old town in about 30 min or take the tourist train for a few euro. Lovely pool to relax by , just a tad cool water but guess that’s because it’s later in the year . The host Maria was excellent with her communication and always responded quickly to some questions we had . Would stay again if in the Algarve again .
