Fantastic Family Stay

We had a wonderful time at Apartamento Sydney. Being on the ground floor was very convenient for us, and the open-plan living area is even brighter than in the photos. The kids loved the pool area, and having two different bathrooms (one with a bath!) made our morning routine so much easier.

Great house and local flavors

We loved the house and the outdoor spaces. The garden and pool area are very well maintained and peaceful. The apartment is very spacious for four people. We also enjoyed dinner at Algarbe restaurant, which is just a short walk away and highly recommended.

Lovely stay near the beach

The access to the pool is very easy via the lift, and the garden is a great place to relax. The apartment was very quiet despite being so close to the center of Alvor. Having both a shower and a bathtub was a luxury for us. We will definitely be back next summer!
