Great Location
Great property with adequate amenities. Lots of space and close to beach/restaurants.
We arrived at 4pm. Check in was 3pm. Cleaning lady still there and we had to leave and come back at 5:30pm. Air conditioner leaked water no mention of needing to empty it. Not enough hot water for 5 ppl to shower. Very loud in the main bedroom at night. Also needs an update very old looking. Overpriced for this stay.

Paradise Penthouse
We were two couples traveling together looking for a place with separate bedrooms and bathrooms. This fit the bill and included a million dollar view. It's an older place and comes with some issues that the owners promptly attended to. We drove to the Algarves and the apt included an underground parking spot! Grace and Alfredo were lovely and so helpful.

Close to beach
Communication with Grace was always fast and clear. She even helped communicate with Uber drivers to locate our lost phone which was greatly appreciated.
The apartment is very large, well stocked and we enjoyed listening to the waves and watching boats from the sunrooms.

Lovely seaside apartment
We very much enjoyed our stay in this lovely apartment. The views to the sea and beach were incredible. We enjoyed the area and felt safe. Upon arrival there was a complication due to a previous big storm: Grace was there in minutes and solved the problem. Would highly recommend this beautiful spot and lovely hostess!

The Best Location
We stayed at this property for five nights with another couple. The apartment was exactly as described and the view of the beach was spectacular. It was located right on a strip with supermarkets, restaurants and shops all within a quick stroll out the front door. I highly recommend reserving this apartment. If we ever return to Portugal we would not hesitate to return here!

Wonderful stay
Graca's apartment is absolutely perfect! Very clean and confortable with astounishing views from 2 large balconies! Graca is very nice and helpful! We found everything we needed in the apartment and we payed extra for sheets and towels but very soft and tick towels, definitely worth it! Kitchen is fully equiped with everything you have at home! The place is just across the road from the golden sandy beach but there are stairs to get to this beach ( we couldn't find a way with no stairs to get to the beach). 2 supermarkets with very good food and all necessities are very close by. The apartment is very close to many restaurants with amazing food: Mursa, Asia, Spot 3 and Castelos.
We loved our holiday there! Thank you Graca!

Perfect home and location!
We had the BEST stay in Portimao staying at Graca's penthouse apartment. Perfect location, right on the boardwalk. Lots of shopping and restaurants right out the front door. Garage parking with the Penthouse rental. The views are stunning from not 1 but 2 balconies! Graca was an excellent hostess. She has a very comprehensive manual of all electronics and appliances in the Penthouse. Highly recommend the area, the Penthouse and especially Graca as a hostess.

Canadians who loved our stay!!
Graca and Fred were wonderful hosts. Oven and smart tvs were installed while we were there which was great. Condo is close to grocery stores, restaurants, etc. Half hour walk to the football stadium. Nice having a parking spot and the enclosed decks especially on windy or rainy days. However the windows open all around on nice days. Boardwalk on the beach is sensational.

My first stay in Algarve with Wrbo
Alfredo and Graça are very gracious hosts. We got lost on our arrival because of Google map.(Use Waze and other navigation apps) They waited patiently for us while guiding us on her phone. Great follow up on the following day to see if we were comfortable. They also checked in on us to supply towels. The place is impeccably clean and spacious and is centrally located. The beach and ocean is right in front of the apartment. Overall, a very pleasant experience.

Fabulous beach week in Praia de Rocha
If you could get any building closer to the main beach in Praia de Rocha it would be hard to find. Fabulous apartment on the 111th floor with two enclosed sunrooms. One east facing and one west. The building is directly across from the stairs down. The apartment was as described, everything you could need, short walk to the grocery store, and the many restaurants.
Graça met us, even after our train was delayed and had trouble getting to the apartment. She showed us the apartment and was east to communicate with. I would definitely look to stay again, when we return.

Great Location
Stayed for 25 days. Great location, sea views from penthouse windows were spectacular! Grace was a pleasant and good host. The Internet was weak for the entire 25 days. Eastside patio had no internet at all for 25 days. No oven and wish I knew more on how to use the electric stove even after reading the manual and some explaining from Grace . Didn’t figure out how to unlock the with the dated keys until it was time to leave?! Keys should not be that difficult to use. We had a great time/stay and maybe we may visit Portimao again! Thank you Graça, giving us the opportunity to stay in your comfortable and well kept VRBO!

Very nice apartment, right across from the beach and on the main avenue. Everything is right outside the door - restaurants and shopping. The apartment is very nicely appointed with a huge master suite. The fact that it comes with parking is a very nice bonus.
