Awesome accommodation
Awesome accommodation! Walking distance from the beach. One of the best stocked units we’ve been to; beach towels, beach umbrellas, everything you need in the kitchen, TV with a bunch of channels (we watched some Tour se France). The hosts, Tony and Anne, were super friendly and very helpful. Gave us great tips on where to eat, and which beaches to visit. We’ll be back if we vacation in that area again!

The apartment is well located. It is close to a beach, with sea views, cliff top walks with amazing scenery. The apartment is spacious with a well equipped kitchen. There are many restaurants nearby as well as many towns to visit. Ann and Tony are friendly and are ready to help with suggestions if needed. We had a great holiday.

Late summer holiday in lovely relaxing Sao Raphael apartment
My wife and I have been back just over 2 weeks having spent a lovely fortnight in Tony and Ann's spacious and warm 2 bed apartment. First off all I need to say what a fantastic pair of hosts Tony and Ann were from the moment we booked they provided assistance, arranging taxi for airport collection and drop off to showing us the local bars and restaurants and even ran us to Lidl to the supermarket. Our apartment was not ready as anticipated cleaner were still in due to our early flight so we changed in Tony and Ann's apartment where they provided us with beach towels before showing us to the community pool where we chilled for the 1st couple of hours and had a drink and bite to eat. Tony put our bags in the appartment then gave us a good show of the facitliites.We immediatley felt as if wed been there days and not hours so relaxed. The accommodation is nice and clean, there is plenty of cooking utensils, 2 fridges, dishwasher, microwave, the master bathroom has large walk insower, bidey , toilet annd washbasin and the second bathroom consists of shower, sink and toilet. The views are fantastic out to sea, local beaches within 5-15 minute walk away depends which way you walk, a number of bars and local restaurants within 10-15mins and Albufeira Marina with lots of restautaurants and a great coffee shop 20-30 mins walk about depending on fitness. Oh and boats trips galore which we definitely recommend to see the coastline. 5 stars from us.

We had an amazing stay at this property, and Tony and Anne were wonderful hosts. It was everything it was advertised as and more. Clean, spacious for the 2 couples, fully stocked, and incredibly located! Felt like we had our private beaches within a 2 minute walk, and the views from the cliff faces were incredible. Grocery shopping, centre of town, and walk to marina were all close. We will be back.

Nice view of the ocean and very close to a beautiful beach. Good source of information in the apartment for the surrounding area. Good communication with owner. Unit was comfortable and hosts were very friendly and overall the experience was good. Central location made day trips east and west very convenient. TV programming choices were very good but TV service was disappointing. Picture and sound would lock up 3-4 times per day. Wifi signal was very weak but worked with Apple products but not well the PC. Had to purchase a Wifi repeater to achieved acceptable PC results.

Very enjoyable month in Albufeira
We spent the month of January at Anne and Tony's appartment. It is a residential very peaceful and quiet development surrounded by gardens and walking path; the adress given was a unit number that could not be seen while driving. Tony was helpful in directing us by e-mail. The views from the 2 balconies are very nice and you can enjoy the cliffs just down the road. They live on the bottom unit and have been very attentive to our needs. They made suggestions for visits but also for groceries and restaurants as not all are open in January. Weekly housekeeping and 2 golf bags were a nice bonus for us. Although you can walk to the Marina and the old town (you need to be fairly fit), we used our rental car daily to visit the area and for grocery shopping. No close by shopping except for a convenience store at 500ft but it was closed in January. We truly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to recommend it.

Too short but sweet
We enjoyed a wonderful 5 days, my daughter and I, and wished it could have been longer. It is a beautiful apartment with lovely views and two balconies from which to look at the views. The photos don’t really do it justice. Anne and Tony were lovely hosts, friendly and helpful. The complex is peaceful and has a lovely pool which is a little distance away and which has a very good bar serving food and drinks. There are quite a few good restaurants in reasonable walking distance and we enjoyed some good meals. We didn’t have a car at our disposal so stayed very local. Didn’t venture out but just relaxed which what “was the doctor ordered”.😃 A really lovely break.

Great Place
Ease of booking and keeping in touch with Anne and Tony . Waking up to great views each morning and beautiful weather helps. Local beach Dos Arrefas is a hidden gem wth amazing and popular fish restaurant. Staff there excellent and beach beds excellent 15eur a day for two with umbrella Apartment itself very spacious and well equipped. Excellent showers in both bathrooms and all you need for holiday requirements. Short walk to communal pool, beds plentiful but need updating. Small pool bar great staff and drinks/snacks. Quiet community and easy to get into Albufeira Marina and main town cabs and Uber between 5-10 euros as hilly walks. Few great local restaurants and many to choose from in Old Town and Fisherman's Beach. We also did Tony's TukTuk tour and Mara Catamaran both excellent trips and great way to see area on land and sea Didn't hire car as needed relaxing holiday. All in all great time and would recommend and visit again Thanks Tony great meeting you too and being so helpful !

Restaurants in walking distance and a marina just €5 in a taxi with a spar, restaurants and bars and loads of activities for young children. Slide and splash definitely worth a visit.

Great accommodation in a perfect location
The accommodation is in a perfect location with all local amenities within easy walking distance. The apartment had everything that we needed for our holiday. The pre holiday contact with Tony was always swift, and he was very helpful in providing useful contact details for airport transfers. Richard showed us the apartment on arrival and even turned up at 7.15am to say goodbye on our last day. We didn’t have any issues during our stay so didn’t need to contact Richard, but felt confident knowing he was on hand had any issues arisen. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would have no trouble recommending it to others.

Just the job!
What a find! The location of this apartment is outstanding, and the apartment itself provided everything needed. Can highly recommend it. We stayed in mid June, and it was peaceful and tranquil. The apartment is well looked after, well equipped and very comfortable. For me the best part was the short stroll to the Praia Arrife and the fabulous walks along the coastline - or should I say scramble along the coast line (take a pair of trainers/walking shoes). It was great fun exploring where all the winding paths went, and what lay beyond the next twist or turn. The views stunning and the rock formations endlessly fascinating, well worth the effort. Also, the tidal bays changed from soft sandy intimate bays, to fascinating rock pools (more exploring) each day - I was in my element! If you want more “life” Albufeira proper very close. The restaurants in the small bays are great, a little more pricey, but there are hundreds to choose from in Albufeira if that’s your thing. Tony, and his wife, were very welcoming and helpful and keen for us to enjoy our holiday (they live below the apartment - I can see why they chose this spot!). All in all top marks - hopefully we will return.

Fantastic break in perfect location
This apartment is very well equipped and was cleaned to perfection. The owners are often in occupation in the ground floor apartment and are exceptionally helpful. If you want to watch tv, there is a fantastic range of programmes available in many different languages. The beach and beach bar/restaurant is only ~5 minutes walk away. The balcony is the icing on the cake. It’s not overlooked and the sea view is to die for. On the larger of the two terraces there is room for 2 loungers, a table and chair set with a large umbrella that gives lots of shade. A smaller terrace is ideal for breakfast for two. We do hope to visit again in the future. We thought it was a little piece of paradise.
