2 BED APARTMENT PARQUE DA CORCOVADA ALBUFEIRA BLOCK 39

What can I say that hasn't been said before, this apartment is absolutely fantastic. This year was the second time we have stopped in it and it won't be the last, can't wait to go again!!!

Tony is exceptional in his communication before and after you travel, a true professional and everything goes like clockwork, transfers everything.

We did eat out a few times this holiday although cooking in this apartment is a pleasure. We had a meal in Rania's which is over the Globe roundabout and down on the right hand side, they give you a leaflet stating a 3 course meal is 8.95 euros but when your're actually in there unless you ask this isn't offered although the meals we had weren't expensive and were really lovely. We also had an indian in the Balti restaurant, opposite Rania's, this wasn't cheap but was georgeous. The best chinese we found was the China Imperial down at the bottom of the Strip just set back a little bit on the left hand sign.

All in all, a great apartment and holiday, can't wait to go back!!!! No hesitation to recommend to family and friends although not until I've booked again!!!!

This apartment is big enough to get lost in. It says 2 bedrooms, but really it should read as 3. Where the sofabed is in the section off of the dining room, you could easily have that sectioned off as a room during your stay, as it has it's own door and have the sofa bed as a bed for the whole holiday with no disturbances. There is another double door into the lounge at the other end. It took me a few days to get my bearings when we arrived. I actually think the cupboard when you enter the apartment, on the left, is bigger than my 3rd bedroom at home. There is plenty of wardrobe space, hangers, etc. dryers for damp towels, instructions in drawers for every electrical appliance in the apartment. 2 hairdryers, many plug adaptors, if you wanted picnics there is tupperware galore in the cupboards in the kitchen. The rep showed us how to use things and gave us info on arrival and sets of keys and directions to supermarkets. I would suggest going by car to the 'modelo' hypermarket if you are going. It is the biggest and had best selection. We only found it on the last day. We WILL be coming back though and that will be our first port of call ! The pool was cold (april) but that did not stop the kids going in. Everyone is friendly, everyone spreads the word for good places to eat. We walked in the evening for meals, but did drive to beaches in the day. It is NOT really a high heel shoe place as it is made up of 3" squares of flat paving everywhere, like slippy cobblestones. This apartment is great, not too far from faro by car, close to vilamoura for a trip out for golf or meal by the marina, great if you want to get out and play golf as there are loads of local courses, the little train that runs round Albufeira offers you a cheap all day ticket to get on and off between here and the old town too, which is a good deal. I found that (when we did have a few really hot days) it was nice to be on the beach until about 2pm ish and then return to the calmness of the pool of the apartment. The kids enjoyed themselves very much. Management stand for no sun bed reserving here via towels on the beds etc..and they make sure that ample umbrellas are put out on scorching days. It is maintained to a high standard all round the complex and longer staying residents are really friendly. Top notch Rental apartment. Would highly recommend.

Whilst other reveiws and the description state that this is a large apartment, we still couldn't believe the sheer size. It's huge..

All dealings with the owner Tony, were professional, but friendly, with Tony also arranging our resort transfers, which were great too. He also contacted us promptly on return to arrange return of the breakage deposit and asking for our comments, good or bad. The only comments I could give were good

The apartment itself is lovely, and the location is ideal, within walking distance of The Strip, the Old Town, and various beaches, but also far enough away not to be disturbed by any noise.

The on site Corcovada Club is handy for snacks, and also has mini golf and a small playpark which is handy for filling in a little time if you have small children.

We travelled with family, who booked a seperate apartment on the ground floor. Their apartment was classed as a 3 bed apartment, was more expensive, but was nowhere near the size of this one.

Should you choose to cook, the kitchen is fully equipped, however if like me that's not your idea of a holiday, there is no end to the number of bars and restaraunts within walking distance. We favoured Rania's on nearby Est Santa Eulalia, and would highly recommend the Portuguese steak. We ate there a number of times and the staff and food were top class.

All in all, we had a great time at this apartment, and are already hoping to return in October. I'd have no hesitation in recommending this to anyone.
