A fantastic all round experience.

A wonderful, clean, well equipped and perfectly located property. It has the benefit of great ground floor space outside all within a safe gated complex that has ample parking. To add to our wonderful experience our hosts were always available and responsive. I can’t recommend this apartment enough. We will be returning as soon as we possibly can.

Perfect stay in a beautiful apartment.

We had a wonderful 10 day stay at Sandra's apartment; it's a real home from home with everything you could possibly need. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, spacious lounge and the lovely wrap-around terrace made it ideal for alfresco dining or a glass of wine in the sun. The apartment is very private, it felt extremely safe and the location is great, close to both the village and the beach. We were celebrating a 50 year wedding anniversary whilst we were there and this apartment made it all the more special. Sandra was a perfect host, very helpful, understanding and so kind - thank you! We hope to be back very soon.

Best Ever

Without doubt the most impressive apartment we’ve ever stayed in, and we’ve been travelling for almost 50 years. Sandra provided everything you could ever require and some of the touches were so rare e.g. a pull along shopping trolley ( would never have dreamed of using one at home but better than carrying those big bottles of water) and an iron that was absolutely pristine, we’ve been to so many where the iron provided was ancient and covered in burnt material. Small details but so important and impressive. Location of apartment is spot on both in terms of where it is within the complex and where the complex is in the resort. We’ve already booked again for next year.

Home from home

This was our third time staying at this wonderful apartment. Such an excellent location. Close to the town for the bars and restaurants and also a short walk to the beach. What a great plot on the corner with lots of outdoor space for dining Al fresco or using the sofa and chairs for relaxing on the patio. Highly recommend this well equipped apartment, it has everything you need.

Comfortable 2 bedroom apartment

The apartment was spacious and very well presented. The bedrooms were very comfortable with plenty of storage space. The kitchen was extremely well equipped. When we arrived Sandra was waiting outside the apartment as promised. She was very welcoming an provided all the information we needed. We will certainly reserve the apartment again.

Excellent location

The property was in an ideal situation, close to restaurants and amenities. Stef and Nick were there to let us in and were very attentive to any questions we had. The gated complex is very secure and the swimming pool is lovely. There is a road alongside but didn't bother us as it was quite quiet in June and could not hear anything in our bedroom, in all didn't really disturb us. Yes I would rent this property again.

Great time away good weather but accommodation ideal for our family. Clean very well equipped and spacious had everything you need inside and even choice of pool side toys for the kids. Great private corner spot with small garden and table and separate sitting area to chill out also. Great equipment in kitchen area. Area and pool great size plenty of space and sun beds everyone very welcoming no loud noise very respectful people during our stay. Close to shops and supermarket and very near to the beach. Booked again for 2024 even before leaving Alvor this year!. Host at hand and local and good contact and the arrival process very smooth shown around the site and everything within the apartment any quest answered but most covered during comprehensive welcome.

Brilliant!

Great ground floor apartment, enjoyed it so much we’ve booked again for next year. Stef was waiting for us on arrival. The apartment is in a good position and feels private so we really enjoyed the terraces. There’s everything you could possibly need in the kitchen, good entertainment system. Lovely and quiet position. There’s only 2 things I would change, the twin room could do with a bigger mirror for getting ready to go out etc, and my family found the double bed a bit on the small side, not sure if it’s a standard size, although they did get used to it. The swimming pools are excellent, our toddler loved the kiddies pool which really helped her confidence in the water. Can’t wait for next year.
