Guest Comments: 'We had a great holiday, enjoyed touring the Algarve area. The apartment was beyond our expectations, the layout and size of the condo was great. The apartment felt like it was home with all the modern conveniences. It was enjoyable to lounge around and make use of the roof terrace. We found the location very central to all areas of the Algarve, we managed to visit most of the little towns within an hours drive each way. The weather was 25 and sunny every day so we had a great vacation. Thank you for allowing us to use your condo and we would recommend the condo to anyone looking to stay in this area.' - Owen and Patt, Ontario, Canada;
'... a welcoming comfortable apartment - nicely off the beaten track, but easily within reach of most places.' - Helen and Alastair, Reading, U.K.;

A gem of a property
We had a fabulous stay at this property which has stunning views from it's fantastic private roof terrace. The location, in a residential area, was perfect for us. A car is essential for supermarket trips or sightseeing further afield. The apartment was extremely homely, very well equipped and spotlessly clean and communication with the owners and Suzanne who met us there was first class. We enjoyed walking around the local area and had some nice meals in the restaurant down the road. Ferragudo and Alvor are lovely places to visit in the area. We would highly recommend this property 🙂

Huge Roof Terrace
Overall lovely large apartment, with huge roof terrace. Unfortunately, it's rather cluttered with lots of outdoor furniture dated. Great communication with owner/daughter.

The best vacation property we ever had
First of all, Lucinda is a wonderful, kind and caring person. We get all the information we need and we were even able to check in well before the official check-in time. Lucinda's place is a fully equipped, super comfortable apartment with a north-facing balcony and a south-facing terrace. the location is great too, quiet but close to Portimao and many beaches. If possible, we will definitely choose this apartment next time.

Spacious, comfortable apartment
This is a very comfortable, large, and sunny apartment that is well-equipped for a longer stay. The building itself is clean and quiet, as is the neighbourhood. It is well located to visit sites in the western / central Algarve, though a car is needed because few services are walkable. After many years visiting the Algarve, this is perhaps one of the nicest places where we have stayed.
