Beautiful Portugal
Apartment is in a particularly lovely area. The ocean (we had a view) was an easy walk away and the beaches and rock formations were spectacular. The apartment was comfortable and well appointed as advertised. We would come back.

Great apartment
Very well equipped apartment with lovely views from the balcony and access to the swimming pool nearby. Air conditioning very welcome and reasonably quiet. Sao Rafael is a great base for an Algarve holiday. Would be helpful if basics such as dish cloths were provided, as we had no need of the dishwasher during our stay. Would happily stay in this apartment again.

Perfect family accommodation
It was exactly as described, really clean and well equipped, tastefully done. It was perfect for what we wanted - lovely it had a terrace overlooking a garden too. We only had lunch there, but the BBQ could have been useful. The apartment is a short walk (less than 10 mins) to two really lovely beaches. The shared pool is a good size - well used, but we always got a lounger and we liked the onsite pool bar/cafe. We went to the marina more than Albufeira to eat out - but both were just a few Euros each way in a taxi. I don't often go back to places, but I would here - because it's everything we like for a family holiday. Highly recommend.

Beautiful apartment in quiet location
We loved the apartment, it was so comfortable and it had great facilities. We enjoyed cooking on the bbq. The pool area is lovely , plenty of beds and a big pool which was never over crowded. Only negatives would be that a few extras could be included for the price, eg cleaning solutions, washing up liquid. Also extra dish towels. We would definitely recommend staying here. Two beautiful beaches only a short walk away. It is a quieter location but we used Uber taxis to go into the old town, marina and the supermarket. They are cheap and they are very efficient.

Séjour agréable
Logement conforme à la description, confortable et bien équipé. Dommage de n avoir rencontré personne à l arrivée et ne parlant pas anglais, les échanges ont été relativement compliqués malgré la bonne volonté de l interlocutrice.

De très belle vacance en Algarve
Nous avons passé de superbe vacance en Algarve. L’appartement manquait d’élément de base, un balais, papier de toilette, essui tout ou de l’huile d’olive. Nous avons fait une demande pour le balais et en avons reçu un le lendemain. Pour le reste le logement était parfait. Il correspondait à l’annonce. Mise à part la toilette du rdc qui est faite pour les no 1 seulement, sinon elle bouche;) En ce qui concerne la piscine, l’eau a besoin d’entretien. Manque d’eau, couleur de l’eau, transparence, etc. Malgré tout je recommande cette appartement.

Great apartment with beautiful views of the ocean. Lots of stores, and restaurants within area.
We loved this place, would definitely stay again. The only thing that was a problem, was some of the supplies were lacking. We were there for 7 days, and there was only two rolls of toilet paper. When I inquired, I was refused more. Also, face cloths and paper towels would have been nice. Otherwise, it was new, clean, had Great views, lovely restaurants and stores nearby. Would stay again, just bring my own toilet paper.

LOVED this stay!
From start to finish, everything was great. The apartment is beautiful and looks like it has been newly renovated. All new appliances, and fully equipped. The location is perfect, easy walk to a beautiful beach, walking distance to some good and decent restaurants and the development is lovely - quiet, beautiful, water view from our patio, nice pool. The property management company was helpful and responsive. Highly recommend!
