Wonderful vacation!

Everything was excellent! Hosts were very nice. The unit was very clean and the beds were quite comfortable. The kitchen was also very well stocked with everything we needed during our stay. Being a corner unit, there was lots of natural light in the living room and dining area. Thank you for an enjoyable stay!

Alvor’s little gem

We had a lovely relaxing holiday in Alvor. The apartment is lovely and is a home from home. The apartment is central to everything and within walking distance to the beach, bars and restaurants. We will definitely be returning. Thank you

Pleasant six days in Alvor

Pleasant basic apartment, very well situated to enjoy the old town of Alvor, and its many restaurants ,the beach and the promenades on the different board walks, and also convenient to explore the surrounding coastal villages,The equipment in the kitchen was quite satisfactory, the living room comfortable, the shower-bath somewhat tricky, and we did not like the polyester bed sheets.The contact person at the property was very helpful and solved the initial internet problem.

Lovely apartment in great location.

Can't fault anything about this apartment. Very well equipped and spotlessly clean, comfortable beds and furniture, spacious rooms and on ground floor. Alvor's beautiful beach is a ten minute stroll away and the old town is even closer, yet the apartment is still in a peaceful and quiet area. Book with confidence.

Nice and clean appartment with a nice kitchen equipment. The only disappointment was that the sun is coming at the terras the second half of the day in February. Location is very nice, 10 minutes walk to the beach and 5 minutes to the village.

Friends trip to Alvor

A beautiful apartment in a great location. Well equipped with a lovely pool. One minor issue was the fact that the bath sealant needs replacing. Every time the shower was used we had to put towels on the floors to prevent the bathroom flooding. But overall a great apartment.

Relaxing and Beautiful

This apartment is really fantastic! Very clean, comfy beds and great outdoor space. The pool is so nice, and the children's section worked great for our little one. Grace was a pleasure to work with. She made our stay with my 10 month old so much easier by providing both a high chair and travel cot. Additionally, she made herself available so that the toy rental company I used could drop off some items before we arrived. Also, the town of Alvor is great in itself, and you can easily walk there or to the beach from the apartment. We would love to stay here again if we return to the Algarve.

Fantastic Apartment in Ideal Location

Loved everything about this really spacious accommodation. There was everything we needed from fully equipped kitchen to a decent hairdryer. Three patio doors from the lounge to the wrap around terrace. Gated complex felt really safe and the pool area is lovely with no fighting for sunbeds. Restaurants and bars are close by and it is only about 10 minutes to the centre of Alvor and to the beach. There is a smart TV but no British channels on it. The patio chairs and table are wooden and it would have been nice to have a more comfy chair to lounge on outside. Other than that, it was perfect and so clean. Would definitely return.

Myself and my Husband stayed for 5 days in the apartment ,my only wish was we should have booked for longer. The apartment is beautiful, big and spacious, home from home all the comforts you need. Fully fitted kitchen, fantastic shower, very comfortable bed and pillows and a fabulous balcony to enjoy. The complex is lovely and very well maintained with a beautiful pool, there is mattresses and an umbrella in the apartment for you to use for the pool. The apartment is in a great location 10 mins stroll to a beautiful beach and 10 mins stroll into town where you will find a huge choice of restaurants each one as good as the next. Grace, Sarah and Alfredo were very helpful and there to answer any questions, they accommodated us with an early check in as we had an early flight. Thank you. Look forward to another stay in the apartment.
