Great Winter
Even though it was a terrible season for rain, we had a great time in the Algarve. The unit was exactly as described and the location couldn't have been better. Took Uber to tons of restaurants and we backed onto the golf course. We had an issue with the water heater and the owners had it fixed immediately, great service.We would definitely stay there again and highly recommend the condo.

What a lovely place this is. Perfect for our family of four. Lovely spacious apartment, nice pool area, close to Vilamoura and Quarteira and within driving distance to Albufeira too. Clodagh is on hand to help with any issues that come up and made us feel so welcome. We hope to return again in the future!

Fantastic apartment!
Has to be one of the best apartments we've ever stayed in! Set in beautiful gardens, a stone's throw from a lovely pool, it is perfect. The pool is great for kids and adults alike with a very gradual shallow end for little ones and a deeper end for more able swimmers. The apartment itself is extremely well equipped and has lovely decor. It has A/C throughout and is very spacious. There is a lovely big bedroom downstairs as well as 2 on the ground floor. Underground parking is an added bonus. If you don't hire a car then an Uber to the marina costs around €5 each way. We did hire a car and got it considerable cheaper through Doyouspain.
Clodagh gave us really good communication. I cannot recommend highly enough!
We will definitely be booking this apartment when we visit Portugal again. 5*****
Here's some places you may wish to visit: Aqushow, which is just around the corner. We got out tickets for €23 by searching for a discount code. Fantastic water park. Take a picnic to save money! Zoomarine is a great day out. Don't miss the pirate show! Tickets online were €31 but you can do a second day for €10. Food at the park was, pretty reasonable. If you fancy something different, head down to Arthur's watersports at Vale do Lobo and hire a pedalo for €20 for 30 minutes on the lake. There's a lovely board walk through an area of natural beauty with a bridge that takes you over the dunes onto the beach. Here there's a little snack place where you can grab a drink, sandwich, ice cream. There's also a mini golf nearby called Par Tee golf where for €13 you can have a round of golf and a drink. The mini golf in Villamora is also brilliant. It has 2 18 hole courses. For a great cheap meal or takeaway, try the chicken shack in Quarteira, near Lidl. You'll get a whole spit roast chicken and chips for around €5 (takeaway).

Wonderful home and environment for a peaceful stay.
Everything was as it was described. Ownership extremely cooperative and available, great environment, perfect vacation home.
Although the location is not right on the seaside, and you need the car to do whatever you need, it only takes a few minutes drive for anything you may want or need doing. Very good location in center of the Algarve.
Very safe, too.
