This beautiful garden apartment is, quite simply, one of the best holiday apartments I have every stayed in. I stayed with a friend in mid-June 2016 and was, I think, one of the first guests to use it.
Located a mere 20-minute walk from the bars, shops, and restaurants of the beautiful marina at Vilamoura, it has all the facilities and features that holidaymakers would require. The large sliding doors open to a landscaped garden that is full of flowers and has a large swimming pool (with a pool for children). There is a lovely seating area just outside the doors and very comfortable sun loungers. We spent our days enjoying the quiet setting and the lovely view, which the photos can only partially capture.
The apartment itself is spacious, very clean, and exceptionally well equipped. It has a lovely, calm atmosphere and is beautifully furnished. We stayed during the Euro 2016 football tournament and were particularly delighted with the satellite television that receives perfect reception of all the main UK channels and radio stations. The kitchen has every facility that a family or group of friends would require, including a George Foreman grill. The shower in the bathroom, meanwhile, would take its place in a five-star hotel.
There are several shops and cafes very nearby. The walk to Vilamoura itself is through a lovely park. As we wanted to be able to visit the marina without using a car or ordering taxis, this location was ideal. Other complexes in Vilamoura can be some distance from the marina.
Sue - assisted by her property manager in Portugal (Jaqui) - was an exceptional and very charming host. She answered all email queries promptly, forwarded all manner of useful information, and made sure that our stay was enjoyable. She clearly takes great pride in her apartment and is anxious that anyone using it enjoys their holiday.
Should I return to holiday in Vilamoura, I would first seek to stay at this apartment. Highly, highly recommended.
