douceur d'algarve

Although the location was at the top of the hill the views of the coast were amazing from the pool side. The property itself was spacious, clean and well-equipped. We were pleased to have use of some little beach umbrellas to take with us to the beach. It was lovely to have a place to eat outside - we even had a hedgehog regularly visiting at night! It was helpful to have a place to hang up the washing which dried quickly. Two bathrooms helped with five of us. Towels were included which was a bonus. It was only about 20 minutes to walk down into the old town or to the marina. It was a pleasant experience to cook in the property. The pool was clean and well-kept. Having a shop at the resort meant that water didn't have to be carried far. It was easy to get to meeting points for tours and some even came to the property to pick us up and drop us off. The tourist train was also just a few minutes down the road. There was a supermarket 5 minutes walk away. It was in easy reach of great restaurants. It was a pleasant experience talking to all those linked to the property. People we met were friendly and helpful. It was easy to get to quieter secret cove beaches by taxi or walk to the local town beach. Plenty of activities. The town museum gave an interesting overview of the history of the place and at the time I visited there was a great photography exhibition upstairs about the architecture of the town. The tourist information office was very helpful and has some great literature and things for sale. Town is very busy. Plenty of tourist shops.

Possibly it might have helped to have more pots such as casserole dishes in the property which could go in the oven. Walking up an down the steep hill was challenging at times. A pity that the museum of sacred art run by volunteers was not open at all during our stay. There were a few other places closed because it was their holiday season too!

We booked a 2 bedroom for 2 Adults and 3 teenagers....the apartment was very spacious and comfortable. The pool was lovely, relaxing and plenty of sunbeds. Very handy having the shop and being able to order food during the day.

I would have really liked a safety deposit facilities

Huoneiston sijainti oli loistava. Lyhyt kävelymatka keskustaan. Huoneiston koko oli meille neljälle mainio. Huoneisto sijaitsee loma-asuntokompleksissa, jossa todella viihtyisä ja kaunis uima-allasalue. Ja hieno näkymä siitä rannalle ja kaupunkiin. Oma parkkipaikka autolle plussaa.

Huoneiston siivoustasossa hieman parannettavaa, lattiat olivat likaiset/pölyiset. Terassi oli kiva mutta suurin osa muovituoleista oli rikki ja istuminen siksi varovaista.

Great location
