Great apartment, very good location
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.

Great location and space
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.

A beautiful restful apartment
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.

Beautiful Ferragudo
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.

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.

Lovely Ferragudo
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.

The property literally had everything we needed. If we are going to be picky, we'd say that it is a little dated and in order to cater for 2020 visitors should have a few more 'mod-cons'. we enjoyed our visit and this wouldn't put us off returning in the future. many thanks

3-day at Vila Castello
The property was very nice and even though the property manager never showed up, called, or texted, we found the key under the door mat and were able to get inside. We had a great time. The location is outstanding. As a suggestion, a property book explaining the AC, WIFI, location for trash disposal, etc. would be nice.

Apartment in Ferragudo
First impression is always important and as soon as George showed us the expansive terrace we knew this was good. Decent size rooms which included a walk in shower downstairs was also a positive and we enjoyed our stay here throughout. Minor point , no cleaner came during our 8 day stay which would have made it perfect.

I just loved this apartment, the complex has a positive vibe about it and blends in well with the surrounding area. We have just returned after a 7 night stay and loved everything about it, Ferragudo is a lovely place to relax, there are many beaches and other places to view within walking distance from the apartment. The apartment it’s self is well equipped with everything you require to enjoy your stay, I would definitely return to Ferragudo and this apartment next year

Spacious and private with a great location
The 2 storey apartment has its own large terrace and is in a great location. Walkable to the beach one way and the old town the other way. Plenty of restaurants to choose from: Vietnamese, Indian, Italian, Spanish, Portugese, fish restaurants by the harbour, tapas in the old streets, music and food in the square, several pretty cafes on the beach too - whatever you want. The ferry taxi over to Portimao runs every 10 minutes until 11pm, both to the old town or to the the marina with its many boutiques, bars, cafes and huge beach. Loved waking round the clifftops and finding tiny secluded beaches and wildflowers with amazing views. The apartment is large, well stocked and we were provided with a very welcome gift of goodies in the fridge on arrival. The pool is very near but out of sight and sound. The staff at the pool bar very helpful and friendly and make fabulous sangria!
