Sao Rafael. Stunning 2 Bed G.Floor Apt. Beach/pool 250m. Albufeira 5Mins by Taxi
This delightful 2 Bedroom property (King Sized Double and Twin), with 2 bathrooms, was acquired by the owners in Spring 2015. It's a beautiful ground floor apartment, built to exceedingly high standards with marble floors, lovely woodwork, and air conditioned throughout. "The apartment is placed, we think, in the best position on the complex, sat on the outer edge, providing wonderful garden space, midway between the local beaches and the pool. The ground floor covered terrace invites alfresco dining, a relaxing shady area, and lots of room to spread out onto the south facing lawns and landscaped gardens to soak up the sunshine, and so brilliant for little ones! There are excellent restaurants, bars and couple of small supermarkets within easy waking distance, or maybe have a couple of rental bikes delivered to your door! Albufeira's marina, with its shops, bars, cafe's and water sports is less than 5 minutes by car, or a lovely 20 Mins walk. Golfers are spoilt for choice with several local options including Salgados Golf Course, just 5kms away. Altogether, it's a great choice for a wonderful holiday. Do check out the reviews, of which we are really proud! The ground floor aspect and garden space makes this an ideal choice for families with little ones, and also wheel chair users. It's pretty near perfect for adults too! No pets please." "If we set out again on a property search, we would buy this outstanding holiday home all over again!"

We really enjoyed our stay in your beautiful apartment! It was clean, well equipped, nice, calm and had good information about everything you could need. And we had a good kommunication with the owner, Bruce.We can really see us comming back some day, and can absolutely recommend it!Thank you Bruce!Regards Bitte, Veronica and Ă sa
We enjoyed our stay. Would definitely recommend it. The Location was great. Being late spring it was nice to have access to a pool ( ocean still a little cool). Outside patio area was lovely and nice to have a charcoal barbecue. If you plan on doing a mix of cooking and going out for meals this was a great choice. Kitchen was well appointed and there were restaurants within walking distance. The owner was quick to respond to questions and minor concerns.
Dieses Apartment erfĂŒllt alles, was hier versprochen wurde! Wir hatten einen fantastischen Aufenthalt!Es machte den Eindruck, als wĂ€re das Apartment gerade erst renoviert worden. Dazu war alles unglaublich sauber. WĂ€hrend unseres Aufenthaltes kamen sogar noch PutzkrĂ€fte, die das Apartment gereinigt haben. Ein wirklich aussergewöhnlicher Service, den ich so noch nicht kennen gelernt habe.Hervorheben an diesem tollen Apartment möchte ich tatsĂ€chlich die Terrasse, auf der 5 Personen problemlos an dem groĂen Tisch platz finden. Wir haben die Abende auf der Terrasse sehr genossen! Unsere Jungs konnten zudem die RasenflĂ€che nutzen, um zu kicken. Ebenfalls hervorheben möchte ich die Erreichbarkeit von Bruce und der Verwaltungsgesellschaft! Innerhalb von max. 8 Std. habe ich konstruktive Antwort erhalten. Warum vom 2. Badezimmer keine Fotos existieren, kann ich nicht verstehen. Es ist zwar etwas kleiner, aber mit Dusche, WC und Waschbecken voll ausgestattet und steht dem Rest des Apartments in nichts nach. Vielen Dank, lieber Bruce fĂŒr diesen fantastischen Aufenthalt!Gerne wieder!
This is our 4th time staying at this property. It is an amazing villa, 3 mins walk to the beach and 6 mins walk to the pool. We always consider going elsewhere but as this place is perfect, we always go back. Very quiet area, with beautiful gardens, enormous patio, 2 bathrooms, a great kitchen/lounge area. A delightful place and we are so glad we found it.
Overall we enjoyed our stay. We had been to Albufeira previously at another location that had more amenities. Also Albufeira is more geared for a younger demographic. We enjoyed other parts of the Algarve better.
Apartment well laid out and in a fantastic location. We super enjoyed our stay. Hope to return again sometime. We definitely recommend this VRBO.

This was our third time to this apartment and once again it did not disappoint.
Such a great location, peaceful gardens and close to beautiful beaches. Spacious apartment with everything you need.
Would highly recommend and do hope to return in the future
We stayed 10 nights , with my daughter and 18 month old grandson, Apartment had everything we needed , It was a very hot spell , air-con was needed , although with windows open a nice breeze came through , the outside covered patio area was our favourite spot for breakfast & dinner , out of sun looking at beautiful gardens , such a quiet spot . Only a lovely 4 min walk to beach , or 10 mins to bigger Sao Rafael ,both with great beach bars , Car is needed to get to bigger supermarkets and restaurants.We had a great holiday.
Lovely apartment in pretty gardens a short walk from great beaches.
The property is spacious, and well designed and equiped. The shaded patio looks out on pretty shared gardens. The apartment is located in a quiet area, within easy walking distance of two attractive beaches, each with a cafe/bar. Albufeira marina and then on to the old town is a longer walk, but we found using bolt app (taxis) very reasonable and fast even for longer outings.
Die Kommunikation mit Bruce war hervorragend, er hat jedes Mal super schnell geantwortet und war extrem hilfsbereit.
In der Unterkunft war viel enthalten, selbst Strandspielzeug und Sonnenschirme.
Das einzige was ich bemĂ€ngeln wĂŒrde, ist das hier und da Unordnung ist und die Sauberkeit in manchen Ecken nicht ganz gegeben ist.
Aber trotzdem war es super, vielen lieben Dank
Das einzige
Nice property. Excellent location near great restaurants and day trips. Since we didnât fly into Faro, the directions were confusing. Also had to have help to find the pool. Property was clean and nice. Do bring toilet paper, paper towels, soap and beach towels if youâre staying for any length of time. ( We stayed 9 days.) Would have liked a dryer. We did enjoy ourselves immensely in a foreign country!
Lovely apartment, well equipped, close to the beach.
Lovely week in well equipped spacious apartment close to the beach, very quiet. Guest pack was hidden away and very out of date. No up to date maps of local area showing shops bars etc. Local mini supermarkets very expensive and the larger supermarkets shown in pack we couldn't find.
What a great place, the taxi who originally dropped us off from airport left us a wrong location but we eventually found the apartment. It took us a day to get our bearings. Pool and pool bar very good, beach less then 10 minutes away. Apartment was well above expectations and Bruce was a pleasure to deal with. We actually tried to extend our stay but the apartment was already booked up. Luckily Cerro Novo could help us.
We had a wonderful stay. This is our third time at the property and we keep coming back for more. We have already booked for a fourth visit next year.
The property is very spacious for the two of us. The patio, which is on the ground floor, is large and is set by large communal gardens which are exceptionally quiet. The kitchen is extremely well equipped with lots of crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils. The beach is nearby and the pool is a 7 min walk away. The pool is a good size and there is a cafe that sells delicious cocktails. This apartment is a fabulous find and Bruce, the owner, is extremely responsive at all times. It is a pleasure to stay there.
Very clean has all you need in the kitchen spacious all round .lovely garden,now the down side no grab rail in shower Iâm disabled,bbq was left by last guest dirty disgusting,patio furniture was chained up Iv never ever had to put furniture up or out my self I struggled putting table up I did leave table up as I couldnât put it down on my own I chained it up best I could my husband is a very ill man so couldnât help me .Also we were left with no tv for our stay the property manager came out to check it but the owner wouldnât do anything till he goes their next the manager agreed their was a problem with it but the owner was happy to leave us with nothing,the pool was a struggle for me to walk to Iâm use to luxury this property is standard rental were we normally stay the pool is in front of everyoneâs patios in lovely gardens ,Tommy mini store only take cash and hasnât changed in yrs never got much stock and over priced
We have spent many happy holidays in the Algarve. Just recently we have made the decision to buy our very own apartment. We have chosen carefully. The location, the build quality, and the fixtures & fittings are all just excellent. So after flying into Faro, just 40 minutes later, we, or you, can be relaxing on the terrace of a delightful apartment, enjoying the sunshine, the garden views, and making plans on how best to enjoy your stay. You have so many activity choices. In which case, I have written some notes on some of the options you may wish to consider. Have a look at the "location" section. Alternatively, check out tripadvisor on the web and search for "Albufeira" and "Things to do". Or just simply relax! Garden, beach or pool? Each comes with sunshine! Whatever your choice, we are confident that you will enjoy your stay.
Why they chose this property
It's location is just perfect. For Summer long holidays, the gorgeous beaches and good size family pools are both less than 5 minutes away. The biggest decision each morning will be to turn left for the pool, or right for the beach! Or perhaps try out one of the many first class golf courses nearby. Salgados is just 5kms away by car. During the winter months, the weather is warm, the complex is quieter, but just as gorgeous, with lovely walkways built along the beaches. Albufeira is just 30 minutes walk (5 mins by car/and around 5Eur by taxi) passing the new marina (15 mins walk) along the way. You might also take time out to visit Guia, a pretty and very "Portuguese" old town with some 25+ restaurants. It's also the home of Piri Piri. We haven't eaten in all 25+, but those we have were excellent! 10 Mins away (by car/taxi).
What makes this property unique
Enjoy the day long sunshine on the south facing terrace. We chose ground floor purposely, to provide that extra terrace space. More room for dining. More room to spread out onto the lawn, so it's also brilliant for youngsters with plenty of energy. Meanwhile, you sit back, relax and enjoy the garden view, in the sun or the shady areas. Unlimited Wi-Fi is included, so you can catch up with the world if you feel the need! Before dinner, take a stroll around the gardens, before eating alfresco, using the BBQ, wooden table and chairs provided. Or even further out? There are four good restaurants, within a ten minute walk. That's your 2nd decision of the day! And what sets us apart? Well, we feel quite privileged. Our apartment has been purchased and fitted out as our own holiday home, not just as an apartment for renting out, albeit that, for just a few weeks each year, that's what we'll do. Our choice of interior fittings might tell you that. It also means that you are sharing something really special with us. So if you do choose to stay, be sure to enjoy yourselves.
