About the host
Hosted by Mike & Michelle Lane
We live in England with our 2 children. We both work, but spend most of our holidays in Portugal and have really fallen in love with the country.
Why they chose this property
After years of travelling looking for our favourite place to buy an apartment we finally fell in love with Albufeira.
It has everything we want, an endless number of fantastic coves and beaches, a choice of lively or quieter nightlife, a wide range of attractions nearby, the beautiful Old Town with its cobbled streets and very importantly, a designer shopping complex nearby for our two teenage daughters!

What makes this property unique
The apartment is in a peaceful area alongside villas but only 5 mins drive from Albufeira. We never tire of the views across the hillside. We have a sea view and there is a lovely coastal footpath just outside the complex that leads to a series of fabulous beaches.
The airport is only 35-40 minutes away and driving and car-hire is easy and convenient.
We can leave England in the early morning and be in the pool or on the beach by mid-day!
We have a local agent who can help with individual requirements. e.g. baby-equipment, golf, excursions, car-hire/transfers etc.
