Excellent location in Portimão!

While this porperty is a little older, the apartment is nicely decorated in a boho beachy style. Light, bright, airy with all the amenities you could need. Incredible view to the sea from the private balcony. Beds were comfy! Parking was easy. We only used the car to make a few quick runs to the Continente about 5 minutes up the road. Otherwise we walked everywhere because the location was so convenient! Easy 3 minute walk to the beach. Restaurants and laundromat nearby. And a lovely pool on site! Thank you Joaquim and Graziela for your hospitality!
