We've stayed at this apartment a number of times. Its great, has everything you need, overlooks the pool and gets the evening sunset. There's a good library of books to read and some items for taking to the beach e.g. parasol, bucket and spade etc.Check in was smooth and easy with great communication from the host.The complex is lovely with a fabulous main pool and small children's pool. Its close to Alvor village, the beach and the supermarket. Lots of lovely restaurants in walking distance

Great location

The apartment was lovely, well equipped and spacious enough for us as a family of 4 ( 2 teenagers .) It overlooks the pool and though it was busy, we had no problem getting beds. It is a short walk to town and to the beach so a perfect location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Alvor our only complaint being the cold sea temperature!

Fabulous Apartment

The apartment is in the perfect location in Alvor - close to bars/restaurants, short walk to the beach, short stroll to the harbour. The apartment itself is really spacious and has everything you could possibly need. The Vila da Praia complex is lovely and has one of the best pools in Alvor. One of the main highlights is the sea view from the balcony and the late afternoon / early evening sunshine. We would definitely stay here again :)

Paradise in Alvor!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful well appointed apartment. The views from the balcony and kitchen are amazing! The property is in a great location, and within walking distance to everything. The property manager Debby, was very nice and met us upon arrival to explain everything. Property owner Sandra was also very nice and promptly replied to us with any questions we had.

Fabulous apartment

This was our second stay in this apartment and one of may visits to Alvor. The apartment overlooks an amazing pool, the balcony gets the evening sun, the apartment is clean and well equipped. It is centrally located with easy access to both the village and the beach. The new additions in the apartment - curtains to give privacy in the living room and additional wardrobe space - enhance the stay. We will definately return!

Magical Alvor

A fantastic apartment in our favourite holiday destination - Vila da Praia, Alvor. Everything went like clockwork from the initial booking, through to getting the keys, etc. With a bit of luck (second grandchild expected soon), we’ll manage to return next year. We just loved our holiday in Sandra’s apartment overlooking the pool. Huge thanks. Alan, LIz and Johanna (Edinburgh)

Simon M, 4 day break

Couldn't fault anything. Good value, great apartment, good facilities, great neighbourhood, lovely village. What's not to like. Would love to bring wife next time. Highly recommended, in fact have already done so to a couple who we met that were staying in hotel nearby and came to have a look while we were there. So Sandra, you may recieve an enquiry from Angela and John from Sunderland. Thank you.

Fantastic spacious apartment

We loved this apartment. It is very spacious (enough space for 2 adults and 2 young boys to not feel cramped) and had everything we needed. The balcony has a fabulous sea view. It overlooks the pool and gets the afternoon/early evening sun. Booking process was easy and Sandra gave us all the necessary information. Checkin process with Debby was quick and easy too. We did have a problem with the old safe but this was quickly sorted and a new one installed the following day. We would have no hesitation in booking this apartment again.

The apartment was excellent in every way. From day one communication with the host then with her manager on site, was informative, helpful and instructive. The apartment is in a prime location in Alvor and indeed within the complex where it is located. It has a fantastic view over the pool area and then out over the bay. The apartment is very well maintained and very clean. We did not have any issues during our stay but i ma sure assistance was at hand should we have needed nay help. Overall this is a great apartment in a great location. I also feel it is very good value for the area. Finally, I would definitely recommend the apartment.
