We had a wonderful holiday at Helen & Neil’s apartment who met us on arrival to show us how everything works. It was spotlessly clean, tastefully decorated with a well equipped kitchen. Plenty hanging space & hangers in the wardrobes & very comfortable beds. Bathroom and pool towels were provided. I loved that there was a washing machine so came home with minimal laundry to do. We enjoyed the balcony in the evening with an aperitif and even stayed in a couple of nights watching the sunset and having lovely hot chicken from the local supermarket Pingo Doce which is only a 2 minute walk away. The apartment is also just a few minutes walk from Alvor centre but on a quiet & peaceful street with a secure entry gate. We would definitely stay again. Thank you Helen & Neil

The Apartment is spacious, very well equipped and is ideally located. There is a garage space that is really useful. The host is helpful, friendly and efficient and provided us with a few useful products. The TV and wifi add to the experience of being somewhere that has everything you need for a great stress-free holiday.

We have visited Alvor about 20 times and have stayed in lots of places. This apartment at Solrio is perfect in every respect. Location, size, comfort, cleanliness, facilities and the view were all excellent. Communication and helpfulness of the owners were great. Would love to stay again in the future.

Loved it.

The apartment is great for a lazy holiday, we needed it. My wife really enjoyed the front balcony for the morning sun and the rear balcony in the afternoon. The location is perfect too just two minutes walk from the centre of everything Alvor has to offer. Great pool with your own loungers to enjoy the pool if it gets too hot.The basement garage was a great extra also if you've hired a car. What a great relaxing holiday. Everything provided in the apartment was excellent. Lovely place hoping to be back next year.

Fabulous apartment

This is one of the nicest apartments we have ever stayed in. It is very well appointed with dual aspect balconies for following all day sun. The views across to the river are beautiful and it's hard to believe you are just a few minutes walk from the town. The nearest supermarket is a five minute walk, as is the nearest restaurant. The pool and garden area were very well maintained though we didn't use either; need to come back in the summer for that! If you are looking for home from home accommodation that is in a world of its own but with everything on the doorstep, look no further.

Thank you for the great review and thank you for leaving the apartment so clean and tidy. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and the weather was beautiful the whole time. We would love to welcome you back in the summer but try to book as early as you can as the apartment is so popular we are taking bookings more than 12 months in advance. Hope to see you soon Helen and Neil

Beautiful apartment in a fantastic location

Booking was straight forward and any questions were answered quickly. We were very lucky to be able to get into the apartment on arrival as we were very early. We have met Neil and Helen before and they were as friendly and professional as before. The small welcome pack was appreciated. The kitchen was well equipped. The whole apartment was spotlessly clean and very modern. It is great that the apartment has a balcony at the front and the back so both the morning and evening sun can be enjoyed. Great selection of TV channels for the children, catch-up TV also available. Wifi also available. There is a main pool, but also a separate children's pool. 4 sun beds for our private use were available by the pool. The apartment is in a fantastic location close to the town and harbour (5 min walk). It takes about 15 minutes to get to the long sandy beach.

Great Holiday

We visited Alvor in June this year and loved it. We stayed in Helen and Neil's apartment and thought it was perfect. The apartment is fab and in a great spot with a beautiful pool and gardens, the whole complex is very well maintained and unless you want to go tripping off the beaten track you really don't need a car. The supermarket is nearby (5 mins walk), the lovely village of Alvor is on your doorstep and the bus service is excellent. We went to Lagos for a trip out one day and loved it - 20 mins on the bus each way and about £8 each, return. There are some lovely restaurants in Alvor just a few of them are - Rucula (excellent but book about a week in advance), O'Alcaide (on a back street opposite the lovely bakers), Caravela (might be spelt wrong but lovely). We loved the boardwalk and walked along this and the beach for about 5 miles each morning, it was beautiful!! We chose to eat in for a few evenings as the apartment was so lovely and we watched the beautiful sun sets from the balcony. Don't forget to try the little custard tarts from the bakers and do visit the daily market in Alvor where you can get lovely fresh food. We will definitely return, thank you. Angela and Simon

Thanks for the lovely review and thanks again for leaving the apartment so neat and tidy. We are glad that you liked Alvor and enjoyed the apartment . The views of the sunsets from the balcony are fantastic and it's nice when you feel that you don't have to go out every night . We hope that you will stay with us again in the future. Thanks again Helen and Neil

Lovely apartment in a great location

This apartment is modern, simply but comfortably furnished. It has 2 balconies, one for morning sun and one for afternoon sun and sundowners - perfect. The facilities are all as described so we wanted for nothing. It is a mere stroll into the village to the many restaurants, and the river front, and only a 15 minute pleasant stroll to the most fantastic of beaches.

It was everything we expected. Nice apartment equipped with everything we needed. Two lovely balconies with a choice of sunshine or shade and a wonderful view from the back. Helen and Neil were there on time to meet us when we arrived and left a few essentials in the fridge to start our holiday which we appreciated. Overall this was a very nice apartment in a wonderful location. We would have no hesitation recommending this apartment as a perfect location for a visit to Alvor. Regards Gerry Walsh

Beautiful apartment.

We are just back from a 10 night stay in this beautiful apartment. We were met by Helen and shown around. This apartment is beautiful, modern, bright and spacious, with everything you could need. There was also a welcome pack which was greatly appreciated. 2 balconies which capture both morning sun and the evening sun set is amazing. An extra bonus is the english channels and sky sport. The location of the apartment is so convienent. A few minutes stroll into the village. If you have a car which e did( you don't need a car) the under ground garage is so convienent and easilly accessible. Would love to return again but these apartments are in high demand. Thanks again.

Just perfect!

We have just had the privilege of spending 10 days in this beautiful apartment. This wasn't our first visit to Alvor, but was our first visit to the Solrio and we just didn't want to come home! Having stayed in Neil & Helen's accommodation before we had no doubt that this apartment would be just as good, well it topped the scales - everything you needed was provided and as soon as you walk in the door you feel like you are at home. We don't actually think the photo's on this site do it justice, the views are to die for and we loved the peace & quiet also. As others have already said, you can follow the sun (if you wish) on the balconies. We enjoyed a morning cuppa on the front balcony and the afternoon sun and the most amazing sunsets from the larger balcony at the rear of the property. Neil very kindly collected & returned us to the airport, and showed us how everything worked in the apartment (including instructions via text when we messed the tv up!) The essential provisions provided for us on arrival were really appreciated (as was Neil's recommendation to the little bakery just down the road, perfect for your morning pastries!) Thank you again Neil & Helen, we kind of wish you didn't have such a great apartment as it may be easier to find availability to return in the very near future! We do hope though, to see you again in 2019, if not before! Clyde & Caroline Moon (& Mum!)
