We have just returned from the apartment and have to say was stunned at the views, from the minute we booked this Maria and Colin have been so helpful, We were met at the airport by Hilary and Pete( Transfer bus ) who again, were great, on route to the apartment they pointed out all the best eating places and and hot spots
The apartment was a home from home with that little but of luxury, we were totally relaxed, the pool was never that busy and the beaches are amazing, I would recommend to anyone this apartment , and hopefully will be back again in the future, Thanks again ...oh and a trip to Villamoura is a must .

Superb apartment in a fantastic location!

If you are looking for a superbly appointed apartment on a small development with it's own pool and conveniently located for all amenities then look no further! We have just returned from a fantastic week here and will definitely be returning. We chose not to hire a car but the owner can arrange transfers at a very reasonable cost. The apartment is well equipped, clean and spacious with a fabulous view from the balcony. Set in a quiet location, but with a couple of bars nearby, the bustle of Albufeira is only a short taxi ride away or alternatively a 10 walk along the beautiful beach which is accessed via the lane at the rear of the development. The Strip is also within a 5 minute walk and there is something for everyone there.In addition to the bars and attractions, we discovered authentic Portuguese along with several other good quality restaurants. We had a thoroughly enjoyable holiday and have no hesitation in recommending this apartment.

Rather than wax lyrical about Maria's apartment which others have done admirably and which we really could not better, we thought we would describe our last evening when we chose to cater 'at home' rather than try out the many excellent and varied and reasonably priced menus available at the restaurants close at hand.

It was a balmy evening, we sat on the balcony and witnessed the sun setting over Albufeira enjoying a glass of red wine from the nearby supermarket. Our meal was a take-away Romana Pizza from Paula's (the nearby Italian) with the added attraction of a 10% discount, courtesy of a card we found in the apartment! This was followed by fresh hand-picked strawberries from the supermarket. The wine flowed, the Pizza (a combination of mushrooms and ham with the usual toppings could not be bettered (why can't we get them like this at home?). And the strawberries were, well strawberries, but nonetheless as good as the best English strawberries which we 'occasionally' get at home.

A simple evening but one which perhaps typifies many of the advantages of staying in Maria's apartment where you can choose to do what you like, when you like, always in absolute comfort and with everything you could possibly need to hand. Ours was a simple meal but one which will not quickly be forgotten. The view from the balcony where we sat was superb, there was little preparation required and minimal washing up afterwards.

The evening was finished off with freshly made coffee and a glass of local brandy!

Simply perfect - it could not be bettered - 5 stars!

Fabulous Apartment with Great Views close to beach

  • 4 of 5
  • Submitted: May 6, 2012
  • Stayed: Apr 2012
Well, lets just put it this way when my wife walked into the apartment she said she was going to refuse to go home!!! We have to agree with previous reviewers, the pictures really do not do this property justice. It is well appointed with all the facilities you could want. The seating in the lounge and dining area are comfortable as are the beds and bedrooms. The views from the balcony could not be beaten ... especially when we could sit, every evening, drinking and eating while watching the Sun go down over Albufeira. The night we watched the Sun Saturn and Jupiter sink below the horizon will live with us for years to come. But back to more mundane things ... The shower works well and the Jacuzzi bath is a real bonus (if a bit on the narrow side). The kitchen is well equipped ... no, actually, its better equipped than our own at home .. tumble dryer and washing machine were a real bonus as was the American size fridge freezer. We really want to keep this apartment as our own personal discovery but it would be unfair to Maria not to tell others about it, indeed, while there I was texting a friend about how good it was and she booked it on the spot for a few days in July. All of this was backed up by support from Amanda of Fresh As A Daisy - our arrival flight was on time but there was over an hours delay in getting the hire car ... nonetheless she was there to welcome us as we arrived at the apartment building entrance and happily showed as round. We never did brave the external swimming pool, but it like the rest of the complex was clean and smart, there is a "handyman" keeping the place tidy. The walk along the beach into Albufeira was a lovely way to pass the time and with the choice of taxi, landtrain or bus to drop us off at back near the complex excursions into town without the car was easy. We would love to go back, indeed it was hard to drag the missus away (lol). 4 stars doesnt really do it justice, because as a rating it would get 9.99 out of 10 Overall: A real winner

A super holiday with everything from sunshine and exquisite cuisines. A beautiful apartment situated a minutes walk from the beach with a stunning view overlooking the beach and sunset.
A very private apartment yet very near to restaurants and nightlife. The website does not do this apartment justice and we will definitely be returning next year with our new born child. This holiday is a must for both couples and families.
