About Tracy Gargan
We are a husband and wife with adult children, who first visited Portugal many years ago.. Since then we have often visited Portugal and decided a few years ago to purchase a holiday home there, as it has so much to offer all age groups and interests, with glorious weather practically all year round. Since then we have made friends in the area, and really enjoy both family holidays and quieter holidays as a couple.
Tracy Gargan purchased this Apartment in 2007
Why Tracy Gargan chose Montechoro
We bought this apartment because of its location- quite private, yet only a short walk to the Strip, varied restaurants and many activities in the surrounding area. The apartment is very secure, well equipped and so spacious it suits our family get-togethers. We love this area because it suits all age groups, it's a year round location & only a short flight away!
What makes this Apartment unique
Only a short transfer from Faro airport, the area around Albufeira has so much to offer-diving at many off shore sites, several water parks nearby, many marvellous golf courses, local markets, historic buildings, not to mention so many beautiful beaches, in fact something for everyone! If you want to relax you can laze by the pool, in pleasant gardens, dine on the balcony or just watch your favourite TV programme - why not?

Lovely apartment 5min walk to strip
Apartment was beautiful inside very modern and spacious, beautiful gardens and pool area , we were here in October and sun beds were plentiful, would stay again.
Thank you Derek song,as you had a nice time and it would be more than a pleasure to have you back again
Elizabeth October 2019
The air conditioner in the living area was not working although there was a fan.Could have been cleaner and the bedding covers could do with being changed, Would’ve liked some curtains in the living room so you could have some privacy at night.
Apologies- we are waiting for a part for the air conditioning as you were advised on your arrival. Regarding the curtains, guests normally use the shutters for both privacy & security, as they can be set at various levels. There are voiles on the windows. As for the other issues we will discuss these with our manager.
Brilliant holiday apartment
Had a great time here with my husband and 3 teenage daughters, apartment is lovely and spacious and garden and pool area very well kept. Close to the strip and plenty of nice restaurants and Tracey was very helpfully, would definitely stay again
Thank you, very pleased you enjoyed your stay. It is a marvellous complex. The apartment’s situation is great, especially with so many lovely restaurants around-always a pleasure to try a different one every day!
Long stay Holiday
The apartment was very spacious exactly as described with everything you could possibly need at home never mind for an holiday and in a fabulous location not to far from the strip and even closer to the quieter but just as nice Saint Eulalia.
On arrival we did have a problem with the internet but it was solved very quickly by the lovely Tracy who was fabulous and always on hand throughout our stay and even the owners contacted us to say it will be sorted (nice touch)
I would recommend this property highly and hope we can use it again in the very near future.
Great apartment and fantastic facilities at the complex
Location is perfect. Just a few minutes walk from the strip and with lots of amenities. Pool is good size and lots of space. Apartment was perfect for family of 2+2.
Thank you- it’s lovely to know when guests enjoy the apartment & the area. We love it & its location with so many lovely restaurants in the area to enjoy, makes it special.
