    Beautiful apartment in a beautiful location for a beautiful time in Portugal.

    • Apartment with Sea View
    • Stayed 5 nights

    The mattress on the sofa bed could have been a more comfortable it did not provide enough support for two people. Parking was tight but this can't be helped. It was great to have a secured location to park the car.

    Key collection was very easy. Having arrived earlier than expected, Viktoria met us at the apartment earlier than the check in time to hand over the keys and show us around the apartment and how to get to the parking and beach. Great location, furbished to a high standard with everything you could possibly need for a week! We received a message from Viktortia during the week to check our stay was okay and if we needed anything. Once out of the apartment block the walk to the beach was less than 1 minute! Plenty of restaurants and bars at reasonable prices on the door step.

    We loved it, only downfall was it needed -7 floor on the lift 😂🤣😂🤣

    We loved everything about this property, it was in a great location, flat was spacious and clean, the terrace was fabulous as very few people used the pool when we stayed. The lift saved a lot of steps and steep climbs.

    Although pool area was lovely and clean the swimming pool itself needs a refurbishment.

    Apartment was equipped with everything we needed it was clean and bright comfy bed too and the terrace with sea views was lovely. Host Viktoria was very welcoming showed us around the apartment and took time to also show us how lift worked and where to go for access to beach and shops/restaurants which are close by.

    Nothing really. Would have liked the pool to be a bit bigger but the sea is close so it didn't matter too much.

    Location was excellent. View of the sea in the morning was amazing. Short walk down to the beach, which was a fantastic beach. Great walks along the beach at low tide to the neighbouring beaches. Restaurants in the area were great and good value.

    Maybe have pool towels, but otherwise apt has everything a traveller needs.

    We were greeted with a warm welcome by Victoria who showed us everything we needed to know re the apt and parking, she WhatsApped us the next day to make sure everything was OK, very thorough. Apt is newly refurbished with a full kitchen if you want to cook. Very comfy beds with great linen, we slept the whole night, every night. Apt has a safe, Nespresso cafe machine, microwave and fridge freezer, washing machine and dish washer. The apartment lift takes you to Olhos de Água and on to the beach. Each morning we took Cliff walks both east and west and returned via the beach. The landscape is stunning, similar to Big Sur in California and with little beach cafes/bars/restaurants along the shore to pause and have a drink. Lots of restaurants within 1 mins walking distance in both the lower and upper part of the old fishing village Olhos de Água and all were excellent. Large Intermarche supermarket 8 mins walk, bus stop to Albuferia 5 mins walk, Chinese run shop that sells “everything” 3 mins walk. Outdoor seating area with awning for full shade if desired. Light collapsible beach chairs are provided. I’d highly recommend this property and would return to this stunning place.

    Honestly nothing!

    It was amazing and had a gorgeous view that was only a few feet from the beach. Additionally, the apartment was updated and clean. I spent a lot of time by or in the pool which was such a nice experience.Also, the property owner was super helpful and kind, and would respond within minutes if I needed anything.

    Everything. Great welcome by Victoria, excellent location, ocean view from the spacious terrace and from the apartment, very clean, great equipped (kitchen and everything else!), very quiet (didn’t have any direct neighbors while there). Nice bay, great landscape, many hiking possibilities, supermarkets & restaurants all in walking distance, easy and quick access to the beach (3 min - stairs or elevator to the little center of Olhos de Água). Would happily stay there again.

    No ironing board.

    Ideal location very close to beach and bars and restaurants but also very quiet and relaxing. Also the location of the resort is within easy reach of Albufeira and Villamoura being only a short journey to both.

    Would be nice to provide some beach towels to use at the pool. When address given is inputed in Maps application or Google Maps you are taken to a different location nearby( hard if you drive your own car, hard for taxis or tuk-tuk drivers). Our suggestion was to pin the location in front of the building and give that as the actual location.

    Excellent location, close to everything. Very well appointed apartment.
