Very happy with our stay. Unit was spacious and for six of us. We very much enjoyed the deck and spend each night on it drinking port and overlooking the city. The street in front of the unit is a very steep grade so be warned. It was not a problem for us. We would highly recommend.

We left a day early because there was a constant, terrible, nauseating smell. When we reported this to the agent she said it is from the drain being blocked by the cleaner. If it was that simple and a known problem it should have been remedied before our arrival. The property is nice but we could not live with the sewerage like smell any longer.

Situé dans un petit village charmant. Très belle vue et très belle terrasse. Logement bien équipé.Bouteille de vin à l’arrivée 😀 les hôtes ont toujours été rapide à nous répondre . Si vous venez en voiture, je vous suggère de stationner sur la rue R. do Povo do Burro.

family holiday

lovely house great location. Initially we felt the walk upto the house was going to be a problem as we’re all a bit old!!. However we soon found shortcuts and stairs to the town square which definitely made it easier. The house was well equipped. Just a few things we think would make it even better. There is a lack of mirrors. No mirrors in any of the bedrooms or anywhere in the house apart from two small mirrors in the shower rooms. This was problem when us girls are trying to apply make up and dry hair as had to wait until people finished showering to use bathroom mirrors. We also had an incident with the washing machine which flooded the ground floor. Fortunately we spotted it before it ruined our belongings. We spent over an hour mopping and drying the floors. One of the bedrooms got flooded.However we managed to prevent any major damage by removing all our stuff like suitcases shoes and other items fromthe room and dried them out on the roof terrace. About two hours later someone came to check the washing machine and told us not to use it for the remainder of our stay. This was a bit of an inconvenience. However, we loved the house and had a lovely holiday and would definitely r give it 5. stars

Algarve Dream

Can’t imagine a better place or a better view in all of the Algarve! We could see the town and the beach from both the second and third levels of the home. A quick 4 minute walk down to the beach and all the restaurants. I would t want to stay anywhere else. We will surely return.

Incredible view !! Great location, close to beach and shops. Only a small car can drive up to the property as road is quite narrow, but we were able to find parking easily in May. Everything was clean and functional. And really, you can’t beat a view like that 🙂 thank you !

Sabrina's review

It is a wonderful apartment, with great amenities, beautiful views and great surroundings. You might want to mention in the description that it doesn't have a direct parking space. Fortunately, you can always find parking on the side of the street a little further up the street. In addition, it is rather a bit louder because of the central location and the seagulls in the evening. Otherwise highly recommended.
