Excellent apartment in a lovely complex!We really enjoyed our stay — the views were amazing, and we loved the pool and tennis courts. It's the perfect location, right between the Old Town and the Marina. We'd definitely stay again. Thanks so much!

Hi Matthew, Thanks for your lovely review. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. It was great to have you as guests and we look forward to welcoming you back.
Great host, communication and information with Gerard was excellent, very clear and detailed, upon arrival we met with Miranda who again gave full details and assistance. Locatìon of the apartment was really good, access to Old Town and the Marina within 10 to 15 minutes walk, we all loved the pool, overall rating was excellent from us.

Thank you for your kind review, Damian. It was a pleasure to host you.
We appreciate that in these hard economic times, a family holiday is very expensive and a one off experience most people can't put right until a year later. So we try to ensure our guests maximise their enjoyment and make great memories. I'll pass your kind compliments on to Miranda.
Well maintained and secure location, splendid views of the Harbour and partly the sea front. Only minor issue was it was very hilly and some distance from the main shops and restaurants, having said that the advantage of being slightly further away from the hustle and bustle of the Old Town heavily outweighs any thing else.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Albufeura is very hilly and unfortunately there's no avoiding that but of course that gives us panoramic sea and marina views. The apartment is a 10 minute walk to the old town square the vibrant centre of nightlife, with plenty of restaurants and bars on the way to the square.
Amazing views from the balcony. This condo suited our needs for the 14 days we were there. Walking distance to most places. The walk down was generally good but the walk back up with groceries might be challenging for some people. Use Uber as it was very cheap and readily available. Overall, the complex was great!
Gerard's apartment was perfect for our stay in Albufeira and within easy walking distance of the Marina, old town and town beaches. We found it was also very easy to get an Uber to some of the lovely beaches down the coast to the west which we did on several occasions. Everything went very smoothly and Gerard's notes about the local area and how to get to different places were very useful. It was also great to have use of the pool on site which was never too crowded.

Enjoyed the condo , it was as advertised, very clean with a pleasant view from balcony . Short walks to both Marina an old town , but not easy walking back to condo as it is a tad steep . Great exercise though .

Hi Doug,
So glad you enjoyed your stay with us and that you believe our listing is accurate and truthful. Albufeira is a cliffside town so there are very few places without a climb unless you want to stay in downtown Albufeira with all the noisy late night bars. As we explain in our guestbook a taxi back to the apartment is under 5€ or an Uber is less than 4€.
We had a great holiday in Albufeira and the apartment is very nice and equipped with everything you could need including dishwasher.
The apartment has 2 balconies one of which has a wonderful sea view and the other one overlooks the swimming pool.
The apartment is located up a steep hill and if you have mobility issues would recommend using taxis or tuk tuk which aren't expensive. Tuk tuk is a fun way of seeing the sights but worth checking prices with a more than one operator.
Thanks to Gerard for a very pleasant stay.

Many Thanks Andy for your kind review. I'm so glad you and Stella had a great time. You were perfect guests and we will be happy to welcome you back to Encosta Ocean View in the future.
We found the apartment to be very spacious and spotlessly clean, with all the amenities you could possibly wish for. The apartment is situated on a fairly steep hillside which entailed a 15/20 minute walk to the "Old Town" (the use of Ubers for the return journey was extremely useful and not expensive), the location afforded a wonderful sea view and also overlooked the attractive swimming pool.
Gerard was very helpful arranging the transfers etc, and resolving a small issue on our departure.
Over all it was a very enjoyable stay!

Mixed thoughts
Miranda who helped get us checked in was very helpful.The apartment is well presented, comfortable and well kitted out.The views are very good from all balconies.No air con which was tough, especially through the night. Washing machine didn’t clean clothes well.No ball games allowed. No inflatables allowed in swimming pool.Property manager communication was poor. He tried to charge additional people staying in our apartment !
We really enjoyed staying at this apartment while visiting Albufeira. It is a beautiful spot-awesome views, great pool for kids, and tennis. You can access the marina to go on various excursions or the fishermen’s beach within 10-15 walking depending on who you’re walking with. It is high up, therefore the great views, but walking home is slower (at least in my case). We took Ubers easily to places farther away. The apartment itself is so well organized. When Gerard says you only need your towel and sunscreen he isn’t kidding. We cooked many meals here and it felt like a true home. This would be a great spot for staying much longer as well! Thank you for your hospitality and kindness- it was a great trip to the Algarve!

Many thanks for your kind review Alexie. It was lovely to meet you and your lovely family. I am so glad you enjoyed your stay with us.
From the moment we booked this holiday communication with Gerard was fantastic. On arrival Nicky met us at apartment and gave us a tour. Apartment was spotlessly clean with every amenity you could wish for, washing machine, dishwasher, fridge, plenty of crockery and cutlery and a welcome pack which was much appreciated. Views from both balconies fantastic, one overlooking the Marina and Old Town, the other the fantastic pool area. The pool area is spotlessly clean with lots of sunbeds. The apartment is located a 10 to 15 minute walk from Old Town and Marina. The apartment is located at the top of quite a steep hill which wasn't a problem for us but those with mobility issues may find this an issue but taxis from both places only cost 5 or 6 Euros. Overall a fantastic experience and we would book this apartment again.

Michael, Thank you for your lovely review. I'm so glad that you had a great time. You were perfect guests and we'll be more than happy to welcome you back again.
We had a wonderful weeks stay at Encosta Da Orada. The apartment is much more spacious than the photos make it appear. Nothing has been spared in providing everything you need to make it a home from home. The communal swimming pool is great and we never had a problem with sun beds, people actually take their towels with them when they leave!! It’s a short walk down the hill into the Old Town or Marina areas. It’s quite a steep climb back, which we had no problem with, but on a few occasions we just jumped in an Uber which was only 3 to 4 Euros. Gerard was a great host, providing a comprehensive guide to the area and arranging airport transfers with an extremely reliable company. We don’t often visit the same place twice as a family as we like to see as many places as possible but we would certainly book this apartment again if we return.

Thank you Ian for your great review. I'm so glad you had a good time. A family holiday is so expensive nowadays, so we try to enable you to get the most from your time in Albufeira. I like to think we give great value.
As you say if you're ever back in Albufeira, you will be more than welcome to stay with us again.
Wonderful holiday. The apartment is large, airy and spotless. Pool fantastic. Great location too! Highlights included a day out on the Finimaris sailboat (booked at the Marina). And we took the kids to Slide and Splash (suggest getting their early to bag a sun bed or 2) - excellent waterpark. Beaches also excellent but water a little chilly!
Loads of great spots to eat too. Taberna do Pescador (fresh fish) Olympique (tapas, squid and tuna amazing!), Mi Sombrero (randomly a brilliant mexican place) and Beach Basket (great for a quick bite). All in the Old Town.
Used Uber to get most of further out places and supermarket. Was really good value, like it used to be in UK! Never had to wait more than 2 or 3 mins.
And Gerard who owns the apartment was really helpful, providing great guidance for the area and most of the recommendations (and more) in my review.
Highly recommend!

Bij aankomst stond Miranda ons op het afgesproken tijdstip op te wachten, huurwagen in de afgesloten garage geplaatst en met lift naar 2de verdieping. Heel net appartement met werkelijk alle voorzieningen aanwezig. Parasols hoef je zelfs niet mee te nemen. Mooi uitzicht op zee en de jachthaven. Rolluiken in elke kamer voor een goede nachtrust. Groot zwembad met apart bad voor de kleintjes. Het appartement is zeer netjes en de eigenaar Gerard doet er alles aan om zijn gasten een top verblijf aan te bieden. Heb werkelijk geen klachten. Bedankt Gerard en Miranda voor de goede service en een leuke vakantie!

Heel mooi appartement dat voldoet aan alle wensen gelegen in een hele nette buurt in Albufera. Gastheer Gerard had voor ons een taxi geregeld die ons ophaalde van de luchthaven en bij het verblijf stond Miranda ons op te wachten voor een rondleiding en de sleutel. Haven, strand en supermarkt zijn op loopafstand maar houdt rekening met enkele stijle hellingen. Dat het appartement hoogt ligt geeft mooie uitzichten maar pittige klimmetjes. Zeer fijne vakantie gehad met ons gezin!

Super appartement, avec tout le nécessaire, la literie est excellente, la cuisine est bien équipée
La résidence est très bien entretenu et sécurisé. les piscines sont top, toutefois il ne faut pas frileux elles ne sont pas chauffés, mais avec cette chaleur ça fait du bien.
Si vous n’êtes pas véhiculé, les taxis et Uber sont très abordables.
La résidence étant nichée sur une colline.
Nous avons passé un super séjour à Albufeira.
