Apartamentos Alquitara

Host were great, staff friendly and helpful. Great location with lovely views, spacious apartment with large balcony, shared pool. Very quiet, bars and restaurants near by, 20 minute walk into Potes. Safe parking for motorbike and under cover. WiFi good

Although with quite modern appliances the apartment was looking a bit tired, its clean but could do with a bit of a lift furniture wise and decorating, but it didn't put us off.

Location in a beautiful area with perfect scenic view. The accommodation was well equipped, maintained and super clean. Quiet neighbourhood. Great landscape to spend time in the mountains and close location to get to any mountain hiking areas. Plenty of parking spots and wide, easy parking area. Did really like the provided shower gel and the hairdryer was also a very good one. ☺️ 🙏 and super comfy bed!

It was a bit challenging to get there by car for the first try...fault of waze and googlemaps... Insulation on the terrace door & window not too good. When it was windy, the room cooled down quite quickly because the wind was "blowing in", clearly could see the curtains move. If no wind, then it's fine. :) The cat came in one night, left a "surprise package" in the hallway, got scared during the night and run out screaming. It was scary to listen to her screaming.

Nice spacious room, balcony was a nice extra

I was in room 14, I could hear a generator switching on and off most of the night, there was a tennis court who’s lights would come on late at night and light up my room, the tv randomly turned itself on at midnight

I had one of the smallest apartments (No. 22) in the first building. It was equipped with a kitchenette, a fridge, a - partly disfunctional - microwave, and a very small bathroom. The building is an old farmhouse, with steep staircase, but has some charme. Also the rooms are nicely decorated. As other guests said: "small but sufficient". However, be aware that the ceilings are wooden, you easily hear every chair movement from the apartment above. The balcony was nice. A slightly larger roof above would have prevented that rain was flooding the whole balcony area (and there is rain, even in summer). In the ground floor of that building is a common shared kitchen with a washing maching, a party room and a tabletop tennis room. Barbecue options are also available. Parking is available at the place, however, be aware that the road uphill is steep. Going downhill the front bumper of my rental car was scraping over the tarmac when entering the flat road. After that I used the large communal parking lot downhill, with about 60 steps to climb uphill and downhill. A good training ....

After arrival it was unclear how to receive the key and apartment number. The reception is in an apartment building deep inside the apartment area, behind the pool, and is usually not occupied. You should call the only person serving the whole area with cleaning etc. by phone, so that she can give you directions. At least this person was not English speaking, so we needed the help of Google translater for the latter registration. In the end I was reading the entry in the leaflet placed openly onto the reservation desk. It said that my apartment would be 22, but not clearly where it would be. It took a while and the help of a Spanish family also arriving at the same time to get the building number. With all that, and the downsides described above, the price I paid during high season (125€) was too much. However, you do not have too many options in this area at that time of the year.
