VILAMOURA GARDEN APARTMENT, 2 BED, 1 1/2 BATH, STYLISH AND CENTRALLY LOCATED
STOP PRESS : JUNE PRICES REDUCED DUE TO CANCELLATION ! BE QUICK AND GRAB A BARGAIN !! This apartment is my really lovely and very comfortable 2 bedroom ground floor garden apartment, well-equipped and stylishly furnished with a perfect south facing view over the lovely grounds and pool area, and located within easy walking distance of the Marina, town centre and Pinhal golf course. Sleeps 4 people plus an infant (the apartment has its own travel cot). Rental licence no: 24749/AL c/o CB&R Lda. Special note: I AM VERY PROUD OF MY EXCELLENT CLEANING TEAM WHO WORK HARD TO ENSURE THE APARTMENT IS CLEAN AND SPARKLING FOR ALL GUESTS, EVERY TIME.
The apartment has a master bedroom with king size bed, air-conditioning and built-in wardrobes and a smaller twin bedroom with air-conditioning. It has a recently fitted family bathroom with large walk-in shower cubicle, full bath with shower-over, vanity unit and WC. Also a guest cloakroom with vanity unit and WC. The apartment has a lovely open plan living room and kitchen. The kitchen (updated for 2025) is fully fitted and well equipped including fridge/freezer, oven and hob, microwave, George Foreman grill/BBQ, kettle, toaster, dishwasher, washing machine, iron and ironing board. There is also a small safe, a hairdryer, travel cot, highchair and linen, towels. Pool towels are also available. Within the private terrace and garden, a rattan sofa set, patio table, chairs and 2 loungers are all provided for guests use.
There is free WI-FI throughout the apartment.
The bright and spacious open-plan lounge diner has a SMART TV, so you can enjoy any of your own subscription services (e.g. Netflix, Amazon Prime e.t.c.) in the apartment. There is also a DVD, an Amazon Echo speaker and a bluetooth speaker which are all available for you to use.
There is a comfortable sofa and two armchairs, and a lovely view through the wall-length patio doors which open onto the private terrace and garden, with direct access over the lawns to the swimming pool area.
I have replaced all the following recently: * Beds : top quality divans throughout * Kitchen appliances(white goods) new for 2025 * Boiler * Decoration throughout.
There is a large communal pool just visible and easily accessible from the apartment with a small children’s pool too.
There is a cafe, bar, hairdresser/beautician, launderette and a SPAR supermarket within the Locality and it is around a 15-20 minute stroll across flat parkland and gardens to the town centre, Vilamoura Marina and beaches (all within 2 kilometres) or you could take the tourist train which passes by regularly in the summer.
Please note the apartment is on the ground level with no steps or lifts to negotiate so is well suited to young families and guests with mobility challenges.
The apartment has underground parking as well as street parking areas.
The apartment is principally a cherished holiday home for my family, but is also rented out using a professional, local management company who will meet and greet all guests and provide local support during your holiday.

Hi, thank you for your kind review, I hope you had a great week away from the very wet UK weather and enjoyed all that Vilamoura has to offer . Would love to see you again !
Fantastic apartment in a lovely quiet safe area with lots of amenities nearby. Comfortable beds and lovely bathrooms and kitchen area with everything you could need. Nice patio leading out to gardens and the pool area. Big bonus was tv with lots of uk channels and an alexa speaker.

Quiet, clean and well presented.

Thank you for your review. Glad you enjoyed the apartment. We are currently getting exterior works in the building, which we are keen to see the results of.
We had a fabulous stay at this wonderful apartment in Vilamoura. Was like a home from home. Very easy access to pool, local Spar, three restaurants less than a two minute walk. Our two teenagers aged 12 and 14 were also very impressed with not only the pool but with Netflix and Disney on the TV etc! Easy access to all amenities in the Vilamoura area. Uber is a very easy and cheap mode of transport. Easy communication with the owner Sue and her rental agent Jackie. We have already booked again for Summer 2026 and looking forward to it!

Hi Lynne
Thank you for your lovely review. I am so fortunate to have this apartment all year round and to enjoy sharing it with guests like you through the year. So happy to hear you enjoyed your first stay and very much look forward to seeing you return as so many others do. Best wishes for 2024. X
The property was absolutely gorgeous! The owner (Sue) and property manager (Jackie) were amazing and so attentive. Would 100% book again, absolutely loved the apartment which was so spacious and clean, with a beautiful garden area and pool. The location was great, with local amenities a stone throw away but still very quiet, and the marina a lovely walk away. If you're looking to book, you won't be disappointed!! Made our first holiday as a small family so easy :) thanks again Sue and Jackie

property was beautiful, clean and well taken care of. Owener and representative very supportive
the staying was very enjoyable and everything was as expected. We are very disappointed in regards to walking to the Marina. It is definitely not at walking distance, but rather over 50 minutes walking - completely different than what appears on the website.

Hello
Happy you liked the apartment and so sorry you found the walk to the Marina hard.
It is, as my ad. says, less than 2 kilometres across flat ground. I measured it at 1 mile (old "money")
I remember you enquired about hiring a wheelchair, so I imagine you may have found the walk relatively difficult. How long it takes will depend on how enthusiastic a walker you are, which is why I specify the distance in my ad.
In contrast, feedback from other guests has been favourable in this respect.
Please remember taxi's are readily available for about 4 euros if you prefer not to walk. I provide the number of several local companies in the information pack and there is always Uber ! so should you choose to return, I will ensure that you have a good direct route through and the taxi contact numbers to help you. Very best wishes.
Sue’s place is lovely perfect for our small family. The apartment is spacious and clean and has lots of family touches. The pool is great and only a small walk across the beautiful gardens. The walk into the marina and town is lovely through the gardens and takes about 20mins and there are a couple of beaches both around 30mins away. The restaurants around the marina are lovely and accommodating to a family with a small child. Jackie the property manager was easy to contact and gave us lots of information throughout our stay and she really is a delight, very friendly and helpful. We loved staying in Vilamoura and will definitely be back.

Beautiful, spacious, ground floor apt close to Vilamoura centre
My wife and I stayed for 1 week in June in this lovely, modern apt with all mod cons. It is a very spacious ground floor property which opens out onto a lovely patio and private garden which is not overlooked. Also south facing so gets the sun most of day and has nice sunbeds and patio furniture. Close to communal pool but quiet and private. Easy car parking outside and only 2 mins in car to Centre of Vilamoura or Quarteira and approx 20 mins walk to Marina. We will definitely go back and could easily stay longer as had excellent wifi and TV facilities. Thank you Sue and Jackie for super service.

Sue’s apartment was beautiful, well equipped and perfect for myself, husband and 1.5 year old son.
Sue was great, answering all questions I had and also accommodated some very last minute requests with no problem.
Jackie, who was onsite to meet us and also arranged transfers and a welcome pack, was brilliant!!
We had a minor issue with TV reception which Jackie sorted extremely quickly. She is extremely knowledgable re: the local area and has an extremely warm personality. Just an incredibly genuine lady.
Kitchen is so well equipped with everything you need, even a George Foreman grill.
Living space was spacious as our little boy thoroughly enjoyed kicking about the ball that was in the apartment for his use.
Bedrooms were great, equipped with air con and the beds were so comfortable. Furthermore, the shower is just amazing.
Pool area was great, we generally had the pool to ourselves quite a bit as it was quieter time of the season when we stayed which was great. Our son just loved it, between swimming in the pool and kicking his ball around the gardens.
The apartment is well situated, quiet and as a ground floor was ideal for a family. The garden/terrace has loungers, comfy chairs as well as a table and chairs. More than enough.
There are 2 establishments within the complex which serve food and drink which we visited regularly for lunch as well as a spar on the corner.
The old village is only a 10 minute walk from apartment and is just beautiful. It houses a few restaurants and bars - we enjoyed Casa de Largo which served delicious food. We visited O Pirata restauarant which is a very short 3 min walk from our apartment, staff were brilliant and the food was amazing. Great fish dishes.
We also visited the marina and beach which is about 30 minute walk and ate at a restaurant down there on marina. Would recommend taking a trip down there, plenty to see, places to eat and drink.
We had a wonderful time during our stay and would not hesitate to book again next year. Travelling as a family of 4 next time 🤗.
Many thanks to Sue and Jackie for making our stay feel like a home from home.
See you next year!!!

Hi Linda, thank you for your lovely review. I am so happy to hear that your young family enjoyed their holiday so much. I wish you the very best for your new arrival due in 2019 and look forward to having you all back later in the year 🍀👍
Genau wie im Inserat beschrieben, sehr saubere Zimmer, sogar das Bett war angewärmt...( weil es bei der Ankunft ein wenig kalt war) Küche ist perfekt ausgestattet, alles was man benötigt. Die Wohnung ist sehr ruhig, zentral gelegen. Supermarkt fußläufig zu erreichen, der super leckere Croissant hat. Auf der Terasse mit Gartenblick genießt man den ganzen Tag die Sonne. Der Transfer von und zum Flughafen hat Dank Jackie super geklappt. Wir waren rundherum zufrieden.

Notre séjour chez Susan fut très agréable. La résidence est très calme et la piscine, un vrai plus !! L'appartement est fonctionnel et bien entretenu.
Les points négatifs: La porte d'entrée de l'immeuble, qui est très bruyante et mal réglée, dont la chambre à coucher est juste derrière le mur.
Manque une machine à café.

Bonjour merci pour votre gentil avis. La piscine est un vrai. plaisir.
Je signalerai le problème avec la porte, elle n'est normalement pas bruyante. La copropriété s'en chargera de l'ajuster. Je mets une cafetierre à disposition des clients, j'espère que vous l'avez trouvée. S'il manque, je le remplacerai. Merci pour votre avis.
Had a fantastic 9 night stay at this property. The apartment had everything you would need and the pool was never too busy. The location is approx 15 minute walk from Marina and has a supermarket, cafe and bars right beside it. Can highly recommend this apartment as the owner kept us up to date with emails especially in these COVID times. Also a taxi was organised for us and we had a lovely welcome from Jackie who gave us local information and leaflets .

We had a fantastic stay in this property. Right from the communication with the owner - Susan, to the check-in with Jackie, and our stay of 4 nights until the end, when unfortunately we had to check out, it was all great. The property was exactly what was advertised. Great location, two lovely pools & conveniently next door to two lovely cafes / restaurants and around the corner to Spar, very reasonably priced for any essentials. The two pools inside on the complex and the short 20 second stroll back across the garden to our ground floor apartment was ideal.
Highly recommended..
We will be back

About the host
Hosted by Susan W
Now semi-retired, I have the good fortune to be able to enjoy regular holidays in my bolthole in the sun with my family and friends.
Why they chose this property
SPACIOUS GARDEN APARTMENT, WITH PRIVATE AND BEAUTIFUL VIEW FROM WALL LENGTH PATIO DOORS. AN OASIS OF CALM, BUT CENTRALLY LOCATED. WE HAVE HAD THE INTERIOR RENOVATED AND ENJOY SHARING IT WITH OUR GUESTS
What makes this property unique
LOCATION: Beautiful and Tranquil setting; an oasis of calm, but close to facilities. DISABILITY AND CHILDREN FRIENDLY, WITH NO STEPS OR LIFTS TO NEGOTIATE. WALK IN SHOWER WITH ANTI-SLIP FLOORING. My husband is disabled and has mobility issues, so this ground floor garden apartment was chosen with his needs in mind. When I had the bathroom and cloakrooms totally refurbished, I incorporated walk-in shower with anti-slip flooring and grab rail.
