We stayed in a lovely penthouse apartment with everything you needed and fantastic views but the location was a bit out of the way. The walk down to the old town is fine but you really needed to get a taxi back and this was a struggle most nights as the taxis were extremely busy and we only managed to... More

My wife and I loved both the apartment and its location, as well as the fantastic Algarve Getaways. Cannot believe the location comments as you can take a stroll down to the Marina or old town, and cabs are cheap. we only got a cab once in fact. Great pool, great gardens, lovely top quality apartments with view to die... More

We stay in this complex 3 times a year and it is beautiful. Forget the previous post about it being in the locals area it certainly is NOT. Around it they are other apartment complex ie: Albuferia Jardim, windmill apts and loads of stunning villas. It is steep but that's why you get fantastic views. The local shop is 2... More

Ive just returned from a one week stay in these apartments. I went with Algarve Getaways (who I have travelled with before and been really impressed it) but we were not impressed at all with this place. It is REALLY isolated. It is nowhere near any of the other tourist areas / apartments. It is located in a neighbourhood for... More

The apartment was done to a high standard and had everything you needed, although we didn't do any cooking as in the old town there are LOADS of great places to eat and... More

Stayed at Encosta da Orada in June and found the complex very well maintained. Set in beautiful gardens with 2 swimming pools and tennis court . The apartment had a lovely view of the gardens and the sea and was spotlessly clean and up to date.Even though it well into the season it was very quiet and private. In 10... More

Encosta Da Orada, Albufeira, Portugals Algarve. We stayed in a penthouse on this complex, 18th-25th June 2010. The views from our particular penthouse, out over the countryside, new marina and sea, were beautiful. The complex felt very secure with keys for all residents needed for entry through the main gates and apartment blocks. It seems that all the apartments and... More
