About the host
Hosted by Alex Esland

I am based in Buckinghamshire in the UK and manage the apartment rentals for our family owned apartment. My parents purchased the property over 25 years ago and we have spent a number of memorable family holidays over the years at our apartment. There is a 'home away from home' feel to the property and we take pride in making it as comfortable and enjoyable for our guests as possible. We still use the apartment for our own family holidays throughout the year (with a number of teachers in the family we are lucky enough to get plenty of holiday time!) which means we are able to regularly maintain the property and buy new bits and pieces for it. This hopefully means our guests have everything there that they could possibly want during their stay.
Why they chose this property
I remember first visiting the apartment as a child when it was still a building site, and as a family we all climbed a ladder to the first floor (obviously little in the way of health and safety considerations in those days...!) to get an idea of the view the property would have. It was beautiful...the sun was shining, the sea looked so blue and you could see boats sailing past, and there was open space and countryside all around us. (Whilst it remains a lovely spot it was even more beautiful then given how untouched that little corner of the Algarve was at the time). Since then, we have gone back to Sao Rafael year after year, preferring it to so many other parts of the Algarve, as well as other parts of the world, and we are happy that we made a fantastic choice when we chose our little spot on the Algarve coast.
What makes this property unique
The apartment is right on the edge of the Sao Rafael complex which not only gives it great views of the sea from the lounge and front bedroom, and pretty views of countryside from the back bedroom, but it also feels private and benefits from being a lovely quiet spot. It is spacious, light and airy and is blessed with sunshine pouring through the windows throughout the day. You can enjoy watching the sunrise from the main balcony, whilst sat enjoying your breakfast (if you are an early bird!) and you will also enjoy some spectacular sunsets in the evening out of the back windows of the property.
As it is so close to the coast you will also benefit from the sea breezes which are great on a hot evening.
The apartment is set in mature tropical gardens with plenty of pretty flowers and plants to enjoy, providing you with various Mediterranean scents as you walk along the paths to the apartment and to the swimming pools. (The pools are a 2 minute stroll from the apartment).
The beach is only a short walk from the apartment and is widely known to be one of the best beaches in the area. It has in fact been voted the 4th best beach in Europe and is currently featured in the Easyjet TV advert!
