É o terceiro ano que passamos férias neste apartamento e continuamos a adorar. A localização, o acesso à praia e a piscina são os principais factores que nos levam a escolher este alojamento. A apartamento tem tudo o que é necessário. Voltaremos.
O chuveiro continua a funcionar super mal. A pressão é tão pouca que é difícil tirar o champô do cabelo. Uma vez que em baixo tem pressão, julgo que substituir o chuveiro resolva o problema.

Já é o segundo ano neste apartamento e mais uma vez adorámos. A proximidade e o acesso à praia são para nós o ponto forte. A piscina é óptima e o facto de ter estacionamento privativo é uma mais valia nesta zona. O apartamento está bem equipado e limpo.

Nice apartment in an ideal location
Clean, spacious and well-equipped accommodation in a good location, close to the beach, restaurants and shops. A couple of initial problems were quickly resolved after contacting the staff at the office, who were more than helpful throughout our stay. As regular visitors to the Algarve, would definitely use again and stay for longer next time!
We received a credit voucher to use after booking and not being able to travel last year due to COVID and lockdowns etc, but feel the existing cancellation policy could be more flexible to appeal to more holidaymakers.
