Very good

Amazing location and patio but some of the details fall short. The view is top notch and the patio is a fantastic place to hang out and enjoy the beauty of the Algarve. The check in process was easy and when we had a smoke detector low battery warning, the property manager had it fixed the same day with no hassle. The only reason we could not give it a 5 star rating was that the beds were extremely uncomfortable and the inside furniture, etc were very warn. The kitchen was also very sparsely appointed. With a few refreshes, this place would be amazing but please take note on the bedding that is important to you. You are also next to a good restaurant but Fri night, it turned into a night club that was blasting music until Midnight. May not be an issue but families with kids will want to consider that.
