Loved this adorable, charming apartment!
My daughter and I loved this place—we were delighted by the charming decor, including a cosy breakfast nook, small sectional couch, and authentic Portuguese blue-and-white tiles. This charming two-bedroom apartment (one with a double bed, the other with a bunk bed) had everything we could need and beyond—a Nescafé coffee maker, electric juice maker, electric tea kettle, full range of kitchen equipment and supplies, teas and spices, and a shelf-full of an assortment of delicious Portuguese liqueurs! Communication with our German hosts was excellent and when the electricity went out a neighbor immediately came over to help us turn it back on. The outdoor space is amazing and would have been absolutely delightful if the weather had cooperated. What we hadn’t anticipated (through absolutely no fault of our hosts, of course!) was the cold, windy, often rainy weather, plus an unusually extreme storm, we experienced the last week of March, and the fact that the pool would be too cold to swim in. (I was further disheartened to have to pay an unexpected extra 5 euro per day for heat.)If we were to return to the Algarve in the future, I was advised that September might be a better time (not high season, but still warm enough to swim). Despite the weather, we absolutely adored our charming, comfy little home away from home, found Ferragudo to be quite pretty and quiet, and enjoyed a wonderful week’s stay there together!
