The pre arrival correspondence was too much, multiple emails from different people. The check-in process, collecting a key from a different town, prior to arriving and expected to meet a guest relations person at the premises was too much, confusing and a total waste of guests time. The unit was as per the images, thou not overlooking the beach, rather the rear carparking areas. The security deposit was held by the mgr for 5-6 weeks, and only refunded after numerous f/up emails

Excellent location near the beach

We had a fantastic stay at Apartamento Corfu. The apartment is modern, very clean and located just a short walk from Praia do Vau. The balcony was perfect for breakfast and evening drinks, and the pool area was peaceful and well maintained. We would definitely stay here again.

Comfortable stay close to everything

Very nice apartment in a great area. Close to restaurants, bars and the beach, but still peaceful and quiet at night. The apartment was bright, modern and very clean. We especially enjoyed having dinner on the balcony after a day by the pool.

Modern apartment and wonderful balcony views!

We loved the apartment, and the outdoor spaces were absolutely lovely. The open-plan living and dining area is very bright and comfortable, and the main balcony was the perfect spot for our morning breakfast and evening drinks at sunset. The bedrooms are wonderful and provided great privacy for our group. We also spent a lot of time by the large communal pool, which is set in beautiful, secure gardens. Being so close to Praia do Vau beach and local restaurants made our holiday incredibly relaxing and easy.

Modern apartment in a fantastic beachfront location!

We loved the apartment, and the outdoor spaces were absolutely wonderful. The open-plan living and dining area is beautifully bright and modern, and the balcony was the perfect spot for our morning breakfast and evening drinks at sunset. The two double bedrooms were incredibly comfortable and private. We also spent a lot of time enjoying the large communal swimming pool and the lovely, well-kept gardens within the secure complex. Being located right next to Praia do Vau beach was an absolute dream.

Stylish and comfortable holiday base

Corfu Apartment exceeded our expectations. The modern open-plan layout is perfect for socializing, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals at home. We especially enjoyed evenings on the balcony with a glass of wine after a day at the beach. The whole complex is quiet and well cared for, and the location makes it easy to explore the area. We would absolutely stay here again.

Wonderful apartment close to the beach

We had a fantastic time staying at the Corfu Apartment. It’s beautifully renovated and has everything you could possibly need for a comfortable holiday. The pool and gardens are lovely and well maintained, and the location couldn’t be better, just a short walk to Praia do Vau. The balcony was our favorite spot to enjoy breakfast every morning. Highly recommend it!

Perfect family getaway in Praia do Vau

The apartment was ideal for our family of four. It was clean, spacious, and well-equipped with everything from a great kitchen to a relaxing lounge area. Both bedrooms were very comfortable, and we appreciated the small balcony off one of them. The kids loved the shared pool, and we loved being able to walk to restaurants and the beach. A great find in a peaceful area!

Lovely

My recent holiday in Portimão was nothing short of delightful. The apartment's prime location within walking distance to the beach made it incredibly. The apartment is comfortable, and the proximity to local amenities and dining options added to the overall convenience of the stay. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect retreat by the sea. All good.

Superstay

I liked the site of the apartment, close to the beach. I liked the nice, clean,wellequiped apartment. The lovely swimmingpool and the calmness in the suroundings. I think you should provide the guests with more than just one card to the gates. Makes things easyier when you are more then one person. Also a map of the town snd a description where the closest shop for food is.

It was ok, a little disappointing. Location was great tho

Not as we expected. This is NOT a sea facing room. Apartment faces the parking lot. All renovations are from a manufactured wood company and are starting to wear. No clothes closet or any hooks to hang clothes in one of the bedrooms. There are no hooks or clothes rod in the main closet, nor hooks in the bathroom. The kitchen accessories need to be re-stocked ie oven mitts, sink plug, serving spoons. No kitchen/dining table so for 4 people it's not convenient for eating /playing cards etc. The island stools are not very sturdy. Instructions for all of the appliances would have been appreciated and in English. Make sure you insist on a second set of keys if more than 2 people occupying unit. On the positive side the location of the facility is fantastic. City bus stop right outside the facility. Restaurants/cafes/bars right outside the facility. Easy walking distance to Portimao and Alvor. The property management people were accessible via WhatsApp. Housekeeping staff were amazing and very friendly. Shower was also amazing!
