About this property

T1 +1 apartment, refurbished, beautiful view of the sea and harbor, wifi & a / c

First of all, thank you for your interest in our apartment!

Luxury, recently (2019) refurbished 2 + 2 person apartment with hall, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living room. Balcony with truly magnificent view of the sea and to the port of Albufeira, oriented to the southwest. With air conditioning in both the living room and bedroom!

The apartment was refurbished in January 2019, has been completely renovated, refurbished and much more so you can be sure that you will find a beautiful apartment for an unforgettable holiday. All walls repainted, much of the furniture renewed, kitchen interior renewed and supplemented with, among other things, a microwave, coffee machine, kettle, dishwasher, fridge-freezer combination, etc. fully equipped. New bedding and towels, new TV (including international channels) and much more. Too many to mention... We are very happy with the result!

The luxury apartment is located on a higher situated quiet complex between the old center and the port of Albufeira. Because of this both the old center, the harbor as well as the beach are within walking distance although you do have some height differences to get there so with a wheelchair we would advise against doing this on foot. The apartment is located on the 2nd floor, with only a penthouse above you, so partly because of that beautiful views. Underneath each apartment block (resort consists of 11 blocks of on average 13 apartments) there is also a parking garage where each apartment has its own place from where you can easily go to your floor with the groceries with the elevator. So you can go up or down with the stairs or with the elevator. The balcony is located on the south-west so depending on the time of the year from mid morning to the sun sets! And because of its location, that beautiful view to the sea and the harbor. Photos say more than 1000 words, but you may already have seen that.

You enter the apartment in a spacious hall where you have access to all rooms. Starting with the bedroom which has 2 single beds (90x200cm) which are made up as a double bed, fitted wardrobes and air conditioning. Also access to the balcony. There is a separate bathroom with sink, whirlpool bath and toilet next to the bedroom. In the corridor there is also cupboard space with things like an ironing board and drying rack and of course space for your things. Then you come to the kitchen which is fully equipped; dishwasher, fridge, freezer, gas hob, coffee maker, kettle, microwave etc. Also from the kitchen there is access to the balcony. Next to the kitchen is the living room with dining table for 4 people, comfortable seating area with sofa bed (145x200cm), TV, air conditioning and of course access to the balcony. Outside you will find a garden set consisting of a table, chairs and sun beds to enjoy the sun and views.

Facilities apartment:
- balcony facing south west
- sat. TV
- fully equipped kitchen
- air conditioning in both the bedroom and living room (the air conditioning is on for half an hour and your bedroom is nice and cool so no need to switch on all day long, think about the environment)
- ironing board with iron
- washing machine
- hairdryer
- private parking space in the garage
- elevator
- a manager in the area for the unexpected case of problems
- garden furniture; sun beds, spacious dining table and chairs

The Encosta da Orada resort is a nice quietly set up private resort consisting of 11 blocks of apartments and a spacious, very well maintained, green communal garden. There is a beautiful swimming pool spread over two levels with a waterfall, varying depths so there is something for everyone. There is also a tennis court (free use) at the resort. From the resort it is approximately 800 meters to the old town, the harbor and the beach of Albufeira. Do you have transport or do you go by bus or taxi the path there are within 10km several beautiful small beaches among the rocks where it is wonderful to spend a day and can often be enjoyed with a sunset in one of the many beach restaurants. In other words, there is something for everyone!

Have you spent your vacation in our apartment? Then we will contact you after your stay to get the best possible picture of your experiences during the stay. After all, we strive to offer you the most pleasant stay possible!

Below some more comments in response to questions from previous guests who have booked an apartment with us;
- unfortunately there is no bbq present, this is not allowed on the balcony / resort.
- regular times for check-in (after 3:00 PM) and check-out times are (before 10:00 AM) but if possible (guests, cleaning etc.) sooner or later is no problem.
- do not drink water from the tap, but purchase bottled water in the supermarkets.
- do not leave a key inside the door, if you are locked outside it must be broken open.
- Portugal uses 'normal' European sockets.
- the emergency number in emergencies is european 112

First Visit To Albufeira

Comfortable apartment. Our local contact was quick to resolve any issue with the condo. The location of this property is key. Within walking distance to the marina, old town. Bus stop just outside the property boundary. A convenience store (Intermarche) is a10 minute walk for groceries, bank machine, cappuccino bar. Old town is on a beautiful beach and full of shops, restaurants. The bus service is very convenient to get around town or if you want to do day trips to other towns (Lagos, Loule, etc).

This rental made our visit to Albufeira perfect

We stayed at this rental from September 5th to the 17th, 2024. Every aspect of our rental was perfect. The rooms were spacious and comfortable; all appliances, including a dishwasher and washing machine, were available; the balcony extended the full length of our rental and was accessible from the bedroom, kitchen and living room; and the panoramic view from the balcony was amazing. In fact we ate many of our meals on the balcony. We also made good use of the swimming pool. Both Hans and Diana responded promptly to any questions we had about the rental. The rental is located on top of a hill, which added to the view. We were about a 10 minute walk from a great restaurant which featured music from the '70s and a grocery store; and a 15 minute walk to the Marina. We didn't rent a car this time, and we walked to the local amenities. This was was a bit of a challenge early on, but we adapted. In short, the photos of the rental featured on VRBO accurately reflected the furnishings and layout of this rental. I have no reservations about referring it to anyone looking to stay in Albufeira.

Good Stay

Very happy with the full process: Good comms with/from the owner, efficient arrival/handover process, clean flat, good a/c and lovely views from the wide balcony. The only slight concern is the location at the top of a hill. This might be a concern to some.

Top of the Hill

We had a great stay. The view from the deck was amazing! The Marina and neighbourhood below is so colourful and the ocean views! The apartment is spacious and the 3 doors to the deck make it seem like indoor/outdoor living. It's a short walk downhill to the Marina or to the old city. We found some nice shortcuts, still can't avoid the uphill going home!

Heel fijn appartement!

We hebben genoten in dit appartement, alles was aanwezig ( we hebben niet gekookt). Het zwembad is net zo mooi als op de foto's. Het appartement ligt met uitzicht naar de haven en zee waardoor wij elke avond konden genieten van een mooie zonsondergang. Wat het nog net completer voor ons zou maken is een grote spiegel en een parasol voor op het balkon.

Vacation April 01 - April 15, 2023

Very nice second floor Condo. Close to pool area and fantastic view Of the Marina , hills, coastline, and sunset from the patio. The Condo was very clean and a good size for a couple. If you like to cook some meals rather than eat out every day the kitchen is poorly equipped. Minimal cutlery, no knife for chopping/ slicing, no grater, no roster for oven cooking etc. The patio furniture, in particular the plastic chairs are uncomfortable if you want to sit out for any period of time. There are two sun loungers but the backs are not adjustable so you can only lay down. Attention to these details would make the stay a little nicer. We were only provided one set of keys for the main gate, condo building and the condo itself. This was problematic if my wife and I were not always together when away from the condo as one or the other did not have keys to access the condo. We did reach out to the manager regarding additional mugs, table knives and bowls so we would not have to run the dishwasher as often. ( as per the request posted on the kitchen wall) Also we requested facecloths as there weren’t any. She was unhelpful. Overall it’s a nice condo and we enjoyed our stay

Home sweet home for a month. We would return!

Communication with owner & manager was fantastic & the condo was as advertised. The owner was gracious & flexible when travel plans changed for us. Couldn’t have been happier. The gated, private complex with beautiful grounds & pool became a lovely home away from home to return to each day. Bright & modern with unforgettable views of ocean, marina & bluffs from all 3 glass sliding doors were a big seller for us! The vista could be enjoyed from the main living space, the kitchen & each morning from our bed! I’ll add that the bed is more a King size than double & very comfortable. The sunsets every night were breathtaking. The large & very private balcony was a sanctuary & made us feel we could bring the outdoors in on warm days. The airiness & sunshine all day were very welcomed during our month getaway, February into March. . Our walks to the Marina, Old Town & beyond, as well as to our friendly well equipped local grocery store, became nearly daily enjoyable routines. Views within town & beyond are lovely. It was a perfect location for us. Thank you Hans & Mandy

Great stay

The view was spectacular as it overlooked the Marina with the ocean in the background. The unit faced west/southwest so there was a good view of the sunset each evening. The buildings are almost at the top of a very long uphill climb so if someone were to have serious mobility issues it might prove a bit difficult without a car or using taxis. You can go most places in Albufeira for about 5 Euros. Old town was about a 20-30 minute walk, all downhill. We rented a small car which, when in the garage, was about 10 to 15 steps from the elevator, which, in turn, was brought you within 5 m of the apartment door. Very convenient. The manager ( Oxana) greeted us when we arrived and was excellent, as well as responded quickly to any needs. For us, this was defintely a great place to stay.

Relaxing vacation

Very calm area. We only had 2 nights with some neighbors (outside the condominium) having late night parties, but it was peaceful. Mrs. Eileen was very nice and helpful. The house is very welcoming. The sofa bed is perfect for 2 people. The pool always has space between people and was never full, which left us very calm and relaxed. These vacations were quite a good place to relax.
