Lovely spacious apartment in ideal position for pool. Good facilities and decent size rooms. Jorge was excellent in his communication and flexible in timings etc so made for a very relaxed communication and organisation for check in easy and stress free. Restaurants and facilities limited in immediate area but old town easily accessed by taxi/uber for reasonable prices. Very relaxed enjoyable holiday. Thank you Jorge

Beautiful location. Decent property b. BBC

The location was perfect and the size of the accommodation was great for our family of four. The cliffs at the beach were such a gift to see every day. The place itself was cleaned but not really CLEAN. It was a bit dirty and smelled musty when we arrived. We had to air it out for a few hours. Also the linens were pretty tired and there were not beach towels available. It’s a decent space and with a few updates and an in depth clean it could be great. It worked for us and we really loved the area.

Der Aufenthalt war großartig! Das Apartment liegt direkt gegenüber vom Eingang zum Pool, es sind tatsächlich nur 5 Minuten zum Strand. Es gibt alles was man braucht und wenn man mal erschöpft ist, lädt das Entertainmentsystem zum Filmeschauen ein.Einziges manko ist der relativ weite Weg zum Supermarkt an der Marina, woran wir uns jedoch schnell gewöhnt haben. Für den Kaffee lohnt es sich. Die kleinen Läden in der Nähe sind super für Noteinkäufe. Den größeren Einkauf konnten wir mit dem Bus erledigen, was auch kaum ein Problem war.

Jorge’s apartment is excellent and has all the amenities that we required. It is close to some awesome beaches and the communal pool is yards away! There are a couple of decent restaurants within walking distance. The area is nice and quiet, ideal for families. We will definitely return if we can.

Wunderbar

Super schöne, ruhige Anlage mit großem Pool. Alles war so, wie im Inserat beschrieben. Besonders schön war auch die grüne Umgebung und die Nähe zu der herrlichen Bucht. Leider ein Stern Abzug, da es im Bad extrem aus dem Abfluss gerochen hat, was sich aber mit der Lüftung beheben ließ.

Apartamento en Albufeira

Muy buena experiencia, el apartamento tiene todo lo que se necesita, destaco que se trata de un duplex con escaleras, dato que no venía en el anuncio. El apartamento es amplio con un salón grande y una terracita. Se encuentra justo en frente de la piscina. El supermercado que mas nos gustó fue el Coviran a 5 min en coche y la playa de Falésia. Unas vacaciones inolvidables el Algarve nos ha encantado con un montón de pueblos que ver y unas playas preciosas. Repetiremos seguro. Muchas gracias.

Wunderschöner Aufenthalt

Wir waren zum 2. mal in der gleichen Wohnung, da die Lage perfekt für Ausflüge ist. Im Umkreis bis 100km findet jeder etwas interessantes, ob tolle Strände, Natur, Geschichte, Essen und Trinken. Die Anlage ist sehr gepflegt, Parkplätze sind immer frei, es ist sehr ruhig und die anderen Gäste sind sehr international. Wir kommen wieder.
