Wonderful stay!
The apartment was, if anything, nicer than advertised. We felt very comfortable and well taken care of our whole trip. 10/10 would love to go back and stay again.

A terrific experience
We decided to rent this condo for a month. It’s situated between two lovely beaches that can be accessed by foot or a short drive. The area is very quiet and the grounds are lush with floral vegetation. The pool is large and there are plenty of lounges around the pool. Our condo was exactly as shown in the photos. Even beach towels and umbrellas were available. The appliances were top notch and the view from the balcony of the ocean was spectular. The bed and pillows were super comfy. All the amenities were there to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Marco was both super patient and helpful when we couldn’t figure out how to use the washing machine and the safety box. One suggestion tho is to bring your own DVD’s and CD’s as the TV stations were mostly in Portuguese. We would highly recommend this condo and will consider returning here in future.

About the host

Hosted by Catarina Carreira

Host profile image
I moved to Portugal back in 2008 just before marrying my husband with whom I have two beautiful children with; a boy and a girl. We often come to this part of the Algarve for holidays and decided to buy an apartment here as an investment and also to enjoy ourselves.

Why they chose this property

My husband first brought me to this area of the Algarve on my first trip to Portugal. He spent a lot of holiday time here when he was younger and has very fond memories. Since then, I have also fallen in love with the location because it is beautiful, quiet, and very close to the beach.
But, if you feel like going out for a good time, then Albufeira is just 10 minutes away by car.
