Lovely apartment. Great resort.
Just returned from 11 days in this apartment @ Clube Albufeira, and we thought it was great. We travelled with a 2 year old and a 5 year old. The villa was well set up for them too.

Thank you for your review Sandra we are so pleased you all enjoyed your stay. Thank you for your booking. Kind regards Catherine and David.
We really enjoyed our stay at Catherine and David's apartment. Beds were very comfortable, and the whole place very cozy and updated. The manicured grounds are amazing. We did not realize when we booked that we had access to 4 different pools which were all well looked after. The apartment is very well located to all amenities. We did not rent a car but all tours had pick-up basically on site. There is a lovely marked walk-way to walk to Old Town and to a bigger grocery store on the way. The hosts were easy to contact and replied straight away. This is a gem. Thank you again Catherine and David. Hoping to be able to visit the Algarve again.

This apartment has everything needed for a fantastic holiday. Great location on a fabulous resort. Easy check-in progress. Catherine and David easily contactable for any help or queries. Would definitely return.
My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at this property. The unit provided most of everything we needed for our stay. While we also enjoyed the evening fun of Old Town Albufeira, it was nice to relax around one of the many pools at a Club Albufeira. We also found it quite handy to have a few restaurants on the property for our first and last nights.

About the host
Hosted by Catherine & David
We have dreamed of owning our own holiday home in the sun ,somewhere we can go on yearly holidays & eventually retire to a warmer climate. We have looked at main land Spain, Majorca & all the Canary Islands searching for the right place, but nowhere felt right like home. We eventually decided to have a change from Spain & try Portugal as we had heard such good things about it, we have been coming to Portugal now for the past 2 yrs.’ & fell in love , The old town is charming and a real treat to walk around the Beautiful beaches the Friendly people, low price of living & warm Mediterranean climate with over 300 days of sun a year ,. We decided to buy an apartment in Albufeira to hopefully one day retire here, & I can say it has been the best thing we have done. We really hope you like our apartment as we have tried to make like home with all our extra touches, We come all year round and we love it. We hope you will too.
