Lovely spacious apartment with all mod cons and amenities. Ideal for a family with older children as lots of space (and WiFi and English TV channels!). Michelle arranged the airport transfer and welcome pack for us and everything went really smoothly. The apartment is in a nice location, close to restaurants and shops, and a short walk to the more lively 'Strip' if that is what you want. A fair walk to the beach, which we knew before but didn't bother us as we prefer the pool. The pool could get quite busy and sometimes there weren't enough sun-beds, but the grassy area by the pool was a reasonable alternative.

All in all a lovely holiday rental that we would happily stay in again.

Would definitely stay here again.transfers all went very smoothly booked by Michelle the owner and terry met us on arrival. We paid for a welcome pack which was great. Very quiet location 10 minute walk to the strip which we personally did not go to very busy and very commercialised. Went into old town most nights on the little train to far to walk. Only downside it was quite a long walk to the beach ok going but coming back in the heat was hard going because it is very hilly. But yes we would go back the pool was lovely

We stayed here for 2 weeks with our 2 teenage sons. The apartment was really spacious with all mod cons. Wifi was also available which was a real bonus! The pool area was a nice size and wasn't shared by too many apartments (the apartments across the road had a much larger pool though I'd heard it could be difficult to get a sun lounger as so many apartments had access to it). The strip was only a 5 minute walk away, very convenient but far enough away so as not to hear any revellers coming home in the wee small hours each night. Old Town was a 5 minute taxi ride away costing about 5 Euros but there were plenty of restaurants,bars, shops and supermarkets nearby we preferred to stay local. Michelle, the owner, arranged our airport transfers and kept us well informed from start to finish. We all had a fantastic holiday and will definitely be back!!

Spent a week here with Wife, Son and his Girlfriend. They are 17 and 18 and we're in our 40's so wanted close to the strip and amenities but far away enough so we could sleep!

Firstly, dealing with the owner, Michelle is a doddle. A few emails, bank transfer and all done, as we were a late booking, the whole thing took less than a week. She also booked yellow fish taxi transfer, who were excellent - 35 euros each way for 4 people and 4 bags was very good, I thought.

Was met at the door with the key and given a quick guide, also got helpful advice re supermarkets etc. The apartment is excellent, has everything you need in the kitchen and the photos on the website don't do it justice.

The private pool is lovely, but we spent most time at the Club pool as it had a bar when it got too hot! Walk to reception, you'll see a sign for the Dubliner, does good food, drink and you can you use the pool attaché to it.

It is 5-10 mins walk from a supermarket. Also 5 mins walk from the strip, but once back at the Dubliner for a late drink, we didn't hear any of the madness that the strip involves late at night.

All in all, a superb holiday - we'll be back!!

My husband, 3 yr old and 3 month old daughter stayed at the apartment from 21 - 28 August 2013. We thoroughly enjoyed the holiday. The apartment had everything we needed. Michelle had arranged the transfer which was extremly smooth and the company even brought along appropriate baby and toddler seats for the journey. Theresa from Algarve Island who picked us up at the airport was great, she even came back a few hours later when she finished work to take me shopping to get our big shop. We couldn't fault the accomodation, we arranged a mid clean locally with the management team which was very easy to do. The onsite Corcovada complex restaurant was great, we ate lunch there most days.
If we were to go to Portugal, Albufeira again we would definitely stay at the apartment again.
Thanks to Michelle for being so helpful and ensuring our stay was perfect.
