Fantastic apartment, spacious, secure and everything you could want for a relaxing holiday.
We stayed 13th August 2017 for 8 nights in this spacious apartment. 2 Adults,4 children - aged 16,15,13,12. Ample space for everyone. Bedrooms large with ensuite and balcony off each. Large leather sofa bed in living room which was bigger than a double bed and very comfortable. Third shower/toilet downstairs. Large kitchen which was well equiped with everything you needed for cooking. Washing machine just downstairs which was handy. Large balcony with table and chairs off living room with bbq which was great.
Swimming pool was not overly big but wasnt a problem because it was never full - some days we had it all to ourselves. Loved the fact that we had our own sunloungers, so you didnt need to rush out first thing in the morning to get a space around the pool.
Electric shutters were fantastic because when closed during the day, it kept the apartment cool and also made the place feel very secure. We didnt need to use the air con very much at all because of this.
Closest supermarket is 10 min walk-Pingo Doce-where there's a good selection of the basics and fresh bread! Lidl is a good 25 min walk if you want a bit more variety {although quite a hilly climb!). There's a taxi rank outside it so that was good for coming back.
Old town is 25 min walk but no hills and is a pleasant walk in the evening when not so hot! We got taxi back for around 6/7euros.
We used the Farm Village Restaurant as pick up point when ordering a taxi and usually didn't have to wait more than 5mins. The restaurant itself is nice if you dont want to go any further for a meal.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay in this apartment and would definately return again. Thanks to Sandra for organising the taxi to and from the airport. It was great to get into the taxi and be at the apartment within 40 mins.
