Such a nice apartment. Modern, beautifully decorated, and well equipped. It's on the ground floor which makes it easy to catch some sun by the pool which is very quiet.
Paula was such a great host, meeting us on arrival and departure. She left us a bottle of wine and some cakes when we arrived and provided us with some recommendations on places to visit and eat which was really helpful.
Albufeira old town is very busy and the nightlife is lively although it's possible to find some quiet spots if you search around. The apartment is well located about 10 mins from the town and beach and with two supermarkets almost next door. Be prepared, there are some steep roads to walk up and down.
The harbour is about 30 mins walk away and there are great views along the way. I would recommend the boat trips from the harbour which are about two and half hours to see dolphins and caves further along the coast.
This is one of the nicest apartments we've stayed in and we couldn't have asked for a better host.
