Everything about this property and location was FANTASTIC! Large beautiful home with a large patio with a beautiful view of the ocean ! Amazing beaches just a short walk away and a pool right at the property.A lovely 10minute walk to the village where there are plenty of lovely restaurants to choose from. Just a paradise location all around!
Highly recommend Ferragudo as Algarve base - very authentic fishing village, less touristy than many. Unit is well located and a good size and reasonably outfitted - except outside furniture needs replacing (at a minimum, should be cleaned before arrival) and linens are worn out.

Thank you for your review I will attend to comments made
Kind Regards
Property as expected with previous reviews. Dated in places, couldn't read dials on cooker and hob, bedding needs updating. Lovely sunny large terrace and pool area but listing needs updating as the pool bar isn't open. Plenty of exercise walking to the village and back, which suited us but could be an issue in peak season
The terrace was great with a lovely view. 20m from the pool. Location was ideal for visiting many breaches and taking a trip to Silves. George, the property manager, was very helpful. I hope we can come back!

We have just returned from a great trip to Ferragudo saying in Peter's lovely house. House had lots of space and we particularly enjoyed the lovely terrace. Swimming pool is close by and lots of restaurants and the beach in easy walking distance. Wish we could have stayed longer!
Big thank you to Peter for being so accommodating and moving our booking during covid plus answering my many queries. We hope to return.

We’re please you enjoyed your stay, look forward to hearing from you we would be pleased to accommodate you and your family.
We really enjoyed our stay here. The apartment was larger than we expected, well equipped, with a lovely terrace where we enjoyed eating breakfast every day, and a couple of evening meals. George, local concierge, did a great job and was very responsive - check in was really easy and he sorted the one issue we had during our stay very quickly. The apartment is really well located: half-way between the main beach and the town, less than ten minutes walk to both. Shared pool is 20m from the apartment - it was clean and never too busy, with plenty of sun loungers. We enjoyed the town of Ferragudo a lot - it's very pretty, with enough restaurants and bars to make the nightlife interesting but not at all rowdy. Overall a really great place - highly recommended.

Thank you pleased you enjoyed your stay hope to welcome you back again enjoy the rest of the year.
The property is older but well maintained, with a large terrace. Not sure if it was the time of year (winter), but we had to empty the de-humidifier daily to prevent dampness. We appreciated the well-stocked kitchen with a good supply of baking dishes, pots and pans. The location is perfect for a walk to the village square for a meal or beverage, or to the cliffs to enjoy the spectacular scenery.

Thank you for your review a
de-humidifier is sometimes needed in winter months the air conditioning unit will cope with this in addition there’s a portable de-humidifier that would need emptying.
The apartment was spotless, very well equipped and comfortable in a fabulous location. We had a warm welcome and felt immediately at home. The apartment terrace was just great - a place to eat and read - with a fantastic sunny aspect. The little swimming pool and cafe is a great bonus. Ferragudo has two great south facing beaches and an awesome castle. The estuary and sea is safe and clean for swimming. It is a pretty town with plenty of friendly bars and cafes. We did lots of cliff walking and exploring. So beautiful. Great holiday. Thank you.

Holiday
This could be a fabulous apartment, it is large and the upstairs is bright and sunny, the location is quiet, pretty and convenient. The terrace is large and has a nice view. Margaret and Peter are super helpful and informative, and very kindly let us check in early, and organised our airport transfer. Ferragudo is a pretty place, easy to stay here without a car.
Then apartment is just unloved, dated, poor standard of cleanliness, terrace with dead plants, awkwardly placed very large pots, poor quality furniture, needs another brolly to enjoy the loungers, very old bed linen, threadbare towels, shower in ensuIte needs replacing, as water just comes out the middle in a single stream and cubicle leaks. We only used that shower and the downstairs loo. We used the twin bedroom, we couldn’t open the doors to the terrace as they were double locked and we didn’t know where the keys were. The dvd does not work sticks terribly, it rained for one day ..and we were unable to even watch a dvd...we tried several of the available selection. We didn’t cook, just tea, coffee toast didn’t use the kettle as the spout on the inside had rust on it. Note that no cleaning took place during our 12night stay...so we cleaned ourselves.

Thank you for your review all these issues will be addressed as I am in Portugal next week.Sorry you felt you had to write this report George our agent could have helped with all of your complaints
We love our apartment I appreciate it may not be to your tast.
Schöne Ferienwohnung mit toller großer Terrasse und allem was man braucht. Der Pool ist gleich nebenan- perfekt für die Kinder. Ausstattung ist gut und funktional, wenn auch nicht sehr modern (Stil der 90er). Strand und Ortszentrum sehr gut zu Fuß erreichbar. Wir hatten eine schöne Zeit und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

Un très grand appartement à Ferragudo plage à 7 minutes à pied et piscine dans la résidence
Un très bon accueil sur place et des échanges très bons avec Peter concernant la prise en charge de l appartement
Je recommande à 100% toit était super
Nous avons adoré
Le logement est très bien situé et très agréable, nous avons passé un très bon séjour. La terrasse est vraiment agréable et la proximité avec la piscine très appréciable pour se rafraîchir après 1 journée de visite.
Le seul point négatif est la literie car les matelas sont très durs.
We had a nice stay, with kind neighbours and good weather - brigado ho!

The check in procedure was a key under the mat!
The Property Manager (George) did not reply to the message we sent before we left - we got him on the phone on the way to the property when he told us the key was under the mat.
He came out to see us the following morning when we had called him regarding the poor plant pots on the terrace which were dried out and he hosed down the terrace.
He gave us some recommendations of places to walk to for restaurants.
We thought the area was pleasant and enjoyed the pool.

Considérations sur la location
Confortable, tranquille, bien équipée, bon emplacement si on considère le contexte "urbanisé". Suggestions: un peu moins fouillis (les ustensiles de ménage), un change supplémentaire de serviettes de bains, oreillers du grand lit en meilleurs état.
Das Appartment besticht durch seine große Terrasse, von der man einen schönen Blick in die Umgebung hat; sogar einen kleinen Teil vom Meer kann man sehen. Es liegt in der Anlage Vila Castelo, die sehr gut gepflegt ist. Die Lage ist hervorragend: Nah zum Ort Ferragudo (5 min zu Fuß) und nah am Strand. Das geht kaum besser.
Property manager was very helpful and we were delighted to find a welcome pack on arrival. We loved sitting out on the sunny terrace and enjoyed the views over Ferragudo.
