Serene vacation

We spent a lovely four days on the Algarve coast. The property was spacious, comfortable, and serene for our family of five. The view and the gardens were beautiful. The hosts take a lot of pride in their property and have thought of every detail, both inside and out. If you have any hesitation in booking, don’t give it another thought and book. You will not regret it!

Excellent appartment and location

We had a great stay at the apartment with our two teenagers who both enjoyed having their own room. Everything is as beautiful as on the pictures.

Absolutely outstanding !

Our hosts, Michelle and Gordon immediately made us welcome and at ease in their very beautiful & tranquil home. It overlooks the stunning estuary, every evening you can watch the sunset with a bottle of vino on the front balcony. It is such a well equipped and peaceful place and a true oasis for anyone looking to find Nirvana or simply time away from the madness. We will not hesitate to return and enjoy.! Keith & Wendy

Lovely apartment across the bridge from portimao

First of al wow what a location, the facilities are 10+. The owners are the kindest people, the contact with them was very pleasant and easy going. Up on entry there is a map with all information you need for restaurants and places to go to. They were open to share all the good places. The apartment was very well equipped, from towels to everything you need in the kitchen. Every room has it's own airco unit (very pleasant) And the beds are really good, I slept like a baby. The outside facilities are also amazing, you have planty of places you can have a seat in the beautiful garden. The pool was also very pleasant (not to much bleach) also more than enough sunbeds to take a rest. The putting green is also a lot of fun. Me and my friends had a wonderful stay! Thank you for a lovely vacation. I hope to be back soon.

Absolutely stunning accommodation

Our stay was absolutely amazing. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the beautiful surroundings and the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The gardens are absolutely stunning. The highlight of our stay was definitely the pool. We all agreed that it is the best pool that we have ever swam in. We spent countless hours enjoying the poolside, soaking up the sun and taking refreshing dips. It truly added an extra touch of luxury to our vacation. The apartment is equally impressive. It was impeccably clean, well-maintained, and beautifully furnished. Michelle and Gordon had thought of everything to ensure our comfort. The bedrooms were cozy and provided a peaceful night's sleep, and the living area was spacious and inviting. One thing that really stood out to us was the exceptional service provided by the hosts. They were incredibly friendly, accommodating, and always available to help with any questions or requests we had. Their hospitality truly made us feel at home and enhanced our overall experience. The house is tucked away in a peaceful neighborhood, offering the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. At the same time, it was conveniently located near local attractions and amenities, making it easy for us to explore the beautiful sights and enjoy delicious local cuisine by car. We cannot recommend it highly enough to anyone looking for a relaxing and luxurious getaway in Portugal.

Heerlijke week gehad in de vakantiewoning van Gordon en Michelle. Het huis was conform de beschrijving, heel schoon en centraal gelegen ten opzichte van leuke plaatsen in de Algarve. Het zwembad was ook meer dan fijn en heerlijk om af te koelen. Het contact met Gordon en Michelle was prettig. Kortom, zeker een aanrader voor wie op zoek is naar een fijne plek in de Algarve!

Das Haus war genauso schön und komfortabel wie auf den Bildern – wir haben uns sofort rundum wohlgefühlt. Alles ist perfekt durchdacht: von den Möbeln und Kissen über die Bäder bis hin zu den Loungemöbeln im Garten. Besonders der Aufenthalt draußen war pures Auftanken für die Seele. Die Vermieter waren sehr herzlich und freundlich, was den Aufenthalt noch angenehmer gemacht hat. Auch die Lage ist ideal – viele Highlights der Algarve sind schnell erreichbar. Absolut empfehlenswert!
