The apartment is one in a private condominium, with a shared heated (June and September) swimming pool. Burgau is a hidden gem on the Algarve, with white washed villas and narrow cobbled streets and passageways.

There are no nightclubs, but there is the night sky perfect for stargazing from the balcony!

On the main floor is bedroom 1 with twin beds, fitted wardrobe with plenty of storage space and double doors to a 'juliet' balcony with countryside views.

The dining area has a stylish glass topped table and chairs to seat 4. The living area has a 3 & 2 seater settee, 2 glass topped low tables, a flat screen TV. The glass sliding doors give access to the balcony with extensive countryside views where you can enjoy evening sunsets and bird watching as they swoop in and around the many trees and adjacent fig tree where the Blue Jay's love to hide under the leaves. Bedroom 2 can be reached by climbing the open wooden spiral staircase to the mezzanine floor where there a is double bed and a second bathroom. This quirky bedroom space with sloping ceilings allows adequate room for movement with plenty of storage space for clothes and views from porthole window. This area of the Algarve is a haven for families, surfers, sun worshippers, golfers, walkers, cyclists and everyone. This light, airy, beautiful apartment is ideal for family holidays and for couples who just fancy a romantic get away, in this wonderful part of the world. There are many beaches within a 15km range to suit every taste - you could try a different one every day or just enjoy beautiful Burgau beach with its local bars and restaurants.

Lovely apartment close to all amenities & lovely people to liaise with.
My kids absolutely loved the pool & want to go back already.
Would definitely recommend!

Thank you for your great review, so pleased you and your family enjoyed your holiday.
We really enjoyed our 7 day stay in the apartment! Being close to the village center but remote enough to have some private space was exactly what we were looking for. The apartment ist very spacious, it easily fits 4 to sleep and some dinner guests.
We definitely plan to come back to visit with the greater family.

Thank you for your review, I am pleased you enjoyed your visit and the apartment location.
We had a wonderful stay at Casa Espiral and would highly recommend. There was a problem with the WiFi but Nuno from ATB was on hand to sort it. Nothing was too much trouble. The condominium is quiet and very well maintained as was the pool and it was heated. What a bonus

Difícil de encontrar
La ubicación no es la que marca.estuvinos 1 hora dando vueltas.no tiene garage y la piscina no está climatizada.al llegar estaba la casa sucia sin haber hecho la limpieza.al avisar la hicieron rápido y de aquella manera.tuve que vaciar yo el lavavajillas de los anteriores inquilinos
Excellent, malgré le fait que les vacanciers précédents n'ont pas nettoyé l'appartement avant leur départ (surtout la cuisine.
Merci à à Lorraine pour cette agréable location.

My sincere apologies regarding the condition of the kitchen, it should have been cleaned and tidied by the cleaners after the previous guests as this always takes place.
I will investigate as to why this was not carried out.
Für uns war diese Wohnung optimal: mit zwei Teenagern, die im oberen Bereich mit Bad ihr eigenes Revier hatten, derweil wir unten unser Schlafzimmer mit Bad hatten. Die hatten auch kein Problem rechtzeitig den Kopf einzuziehen, wenn die Decke etwas niedriger ist ;-)
Das Wohnzimmer mit offener Küche ist tagsüber hell, licht und sehr großzügig mit den hohen Decken!
Ein Highlight ist außerdem die Lage: damit nicht nur die Strandnähe, sondern vor allem auch die Straßen-(und Pool-)abgewandte Lage ohne Nachbarn darüber. Es war echt ruhig!
Und Freunde härterer Matratzen werden ihre helle Freude haben.
Wir können das Apartment sehr empfehlen!

We didn’t get off to a good start which probably put a slight downer on things. It is quite a nice apartment but we felt it wasn’t presented as well as it could have been. The upstairs is quirky but note that the ceiling is mostly very low and you have to get out of bed bent until you step down at the foot of the bed where you can stand up straight.
Also this upstairs bathroom is sloped ceiling and we found it best to sit in the bath and shower. It is very peaceful and quiet but still within the village
A casa estava muito limpa, com tudo o que era necessário para uma estadia agradável. Decoração muito criativa e confortável. Muito próxima da praia e dos restaurantes. Superou as nossas expetativas.
Estadia calma e tranquila.
Muito boa localização, tudo perto desde a ida ao supermercado à ida para a praia.
Piscina simpática.
Foi pena a limpeza do frigorífico, pois não estava 100% limpo, estava sujo com restos de comida.
Casa ampla e com boa luz natural.
Local tranquilo, uma ótima casa de família. O intermediário, Sr. Nuno, super prestável

Ola Paulo,
Obrigado por comentar a sua estadia na Casa Espiral que além do churrasco, parece ter atendido às suas necessidades. Um churrasco nunca foi incluído nas comodidades disponíveis para os hóspedes. Infelizmente, não posso influenciar o comportamento de outros hóspedes no condomínio e em relação à piscina e à limpeza, só posso presumir que isso se deva à situação atual da Covid-19, que afetou as operações de serviço. No entanto, irei levantá-lo com a sociedade gestora.
Atenciosamente,
Lorraine
This really is a lovely apartment. It has a huge kitchen, with all the mod cons you need, large dining area & really comfortable lounge area. The bedrooms are spacious too, and the bathrooms great. The upstairs bedroom is massive & a lovely space.
The pool area was spotlessly clean, and the pool itself so refreshing! There were loungers for our use if we wanted to sit by the pool.
We chose to spend most of our time at the gorgeous beach in Burgau though, which some days had huge waves, & other days was like a mill pond!
So many restaurants to choose from in the village, we ate somewhere different every night for a week, & never had a bad meal.
All communications were quick & friendly & I’d definitely recommend this apartment & would stay here again.
This apartment was over and above what we expected.
Very spacious.
The owner responded immediately with any questions we had. The small complex was quiet and very relaxing. The pool was better than what I thought from the pictures.
We will definitely be recommending this accommodation to friends and families and hope to rent again next year.
The appartment is very cozy.
And it has everything we needed to stay with comfort. The place is very beautiful, quite and offers what we were looking for.
We loved to stay in Burgau and to visit small cities and beautiful beaches like São Rafael, Benagil, etc.
We didn't meet our Host, but she was very fast to answer our questions.
The only thing that can be better are the lamps at night.
And very important to BE CLEAR that are stairs to reach the house(apartment), not only the stairs to the bedroom upstairs.
We had some difficulties with my parents with 80 and 86 years old.

Thank you for your review, I am pleased you enjoyed your stay in Burgau and the apartment. The apartment description on Homeaway mentions it is a first floor apartment and the spiral staircase is clearly shown in the pictures.
Super vacances dans la "Casa espiral". Cet appartement est très spacieux, joli et agréable. Il est très bien situé car tout peut se faire à pied, le supermarché est à 2 minutes, la plage a 5 minutes. De nombreux restaurants ou l'on mange très bien. Les prix au supermarché, dans les restaurants et dans les magasins de Burgau sont très abordables. Les propriétaires des magasins sont également supers gentils et accueillants. Nous avons fait une randonnée magnifique le long des plages jusqu'au restaurant le Cabanas Beach, qui est super bon, dans un endroit idyllique, juste penser à reserver. Nous avons passer un séjour agréable en famille.
Burgau est une ville magnifique, avec beaucoup de charme et proche de toutes les grandes villes. Nous reviendrons passer des vacances dans cette appartement avec beaucoup de plaisir. Merci à Lorraine pour toutes les indications transmises.

About the host
Hosted by Lorraine
I have been visiting Burgau and the local area for well over 15 years and enjoy all that the village, amazing beach and surrounding area has to offer. A wonderful place to unwind and really relax.
Why they chose this property
I like this property as it is very spacious and airy with a certain quirkiness. With its porthole windows and spiral staircase, one could almost be in the Crows Nest! The balcony looks out over the surrounding countryside of the St Vincente National Park which stretches up the West coast for approx 100 k. It is an extraordinary coastline, very rugged and wild, loved by tourists and surfers alike.
