About this property

Excellent holiday apartment in Clube Alvor Ria

This modern and lovely one bedroom apartment, located on the first floor of the private condominium "Clube Alvor Ria", with wonderful views over the Alvor estuary (natural reserve), is no more than 5-minutes walk from the Alvor fabulous beach and from the picturesque village centre.

The whole apartment is in a very good state of preservation, as new, and it is fully furnished to a high standard.
It has a spacious bedroom, with one king bed, two nightstands, a dresser with a mirror, and a built-in wardrobe with drawers.
The living room has two sleeper sofas and a dining area with four chairs.
The kitchen is fully equipped with all the apropriate machines, including hob, oven, refrigerator/freezer, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, kettle, dishwasher and washing machine. All these machines are very well kept. It also has a first aid box, a fire extinguisher, and a fire blanket.
The bathroom is excelent, confortable, and bright due to good lighting, including natural light from a small glass window. It has a bathtub, a sink, a toilet and a bidet, all as new. The sink is embedded in a large closet where you can store towels, toiletries and cosmetics. Above the sink there is a large mirror. The bathtub, which is separated by glass from the rest of the bathroom, has a mixer and a hand shower. The whole bathroom has hot and cold water. It also has an outlet connection suitable for the hairdryer or other electric appliances.
There is air conditioning all over the apartment (two units, one in the bedroom and another in the living area, both operated independently through remote control).
Both the bedroom and the living room have direct access to a large southwest facing balcony, full of sunlight, equipped with a table, chairs and two sun-loungers with cushions, where you can have your meals or relax in the sun, while enjoying the fabulous views.
The apartment is also equipped with an iron, a board and a clothes drying rack.

The complex, with a privileged location just in front of the Alvor estuary, has an outdoor swimming pool, just a few steps from the apartment, a large terrace with sun loungers, well kept and beautifully-landscaped comunal gardens and secure indoor private parking, including garage parking, accessed through remote control access gates.

The apartment is licensed for rental purpose as "Alojamento Local", having been inspected by the local authorities and complying with all the security requirements.

Alvor is an ancient fishing village located between Lagos and Portimão. Its rich history is reflected in some monuments, the most importante of which is the 500 years old Manueline style Church. The centre of this typical village is only a short walk away from the condominium, and there you may find a large variety of restaurants, bars, groceries, convenience stores and many other shops. The riverfront is a most idyllic place and has three bars with plenty of outside sitting. The Alvor estuary was included in the Natura 2000 network of sites, due to the presence of species and habitats considered worthy of protection at the European level. Its fabulous landscapes can be enjoyed walking through a wooden footpath built around the estuary up to the sea. The main beach, Praia de Alvor, is also just a five-minutes walk from the complex, and it is a lovely, long of three miles, sandy beach, with plenty of room to lie down and relax. There are a lot of activities on offer in and around Alvor (canoeing trips, bicycles to hire, boat or fishing trips, kitesurfing, windsurfing, etc.). At a distance of no more than 300 metres from the condominium there is the local public sports complex which includes an indoor swimming pool and tennis and basketball courts. For golf lovers, some excelent golf courses are within 5-10 minutes drive (Alto Club, Penina and Morgado Golf).

Clube Alvor Ria
The apartment was ideally located looking out to sea and very convenient to Alvor with a 2 to 3 minute walk taking you to the heart of Alvor. The apartment was very clean with no clutter of any kind and a cleaning lady came in half way through our stay. Isabella our host was very efficient and friendly making for a stress free break. Would definitely stay here again Mike & Carol

The apartment was okay
Unfortunately there were building works directly in front of our apartment (also all apartments in block C). This meant our balcony was not the best place to sit in. Apart from that the apartment was clean and comfortable and we loved Alvor and its surroundings.

Prime position
Isabel's apartment is in prime frontline position overlooking the estuary to one side and seaview the other. Apartment itself had everything you could possibly need and wonderfully equipped. Large balcony with table, chairs and 2 sunbeds. The one let down was the pool area. The pool itself was lovely but the surround was cobbled which was not easy to walk on barefoot and it could have done with a good power wash. It was also looking rather untidy, with gardening cuttings left for days. There was also a small shelter (maybe for children?) But it was in disrepair with rubbish inside. This is no reflection on isabel and would wholeheartedly recommend her apartment.

Great communication with Isabel Apartment was spotless and clean and had most of what you need at your disposal. There are also 4 sunbeds to use by the pool. Bit of noise from the upstairs apartments but the owner can’t control this. Thanks Isabel See you again one day maybe

Alvor stay
Isabel is a great host, her apartment is right next door if you need anything. Apartment was just as the pictures showed, with absolutely ever You could need for a two week stay like we did. The location couldn’t be better, really! Everything close by. Only one negative, and it’s just one person opinion, the couches were uncomfortable for sitting. All in all, five star Isabel!!

The best location in Alvor!
Me and my family have been coming to Alvor for more than 20 years. The location of Clube Alvor Ria is the best one. 5 minute walk to the beach and 3 minutes to the town. From apartment 214 you have great views of both the Atlantic and the stunning river area. The property owner is very service minded and attentive. I highly recommend this apartment for a trouble free holiday with stunning views!

Lovely apartment in a great location
We return to Alvor every year and this is one of the nicest apartments we've stayed in; Clean, comfortable, well-equipped and with beautiful views. Isabel was staying next door throughout our stay and was on hand to answer any queries we had and to loan us some coffee when we ran out! She also invited us over for cakes on the last day, which was really kind of her. We're looking forward to staying again next year. Thanks Isabel.

Excellent Apartment and location in Alvor
The apartment is in a good location, a few minutes from the beach and a short walk from Alvor's bars and restaurants. The location is quiet and in a gated complex with communal pool and parking. The apartment was very clean, well maintained and spacious, with excellent facilities for self catering , plus a safe and free Wi-Fi. There was no welcome pack that some other reviewers commented on, but that was no problem for us. There are two sofa beds in addition to the one bedroom. The mattress was quite firm and the bed a standard size. A king or queen size would have been better, the room is certainly large enough. From the balcony there are views of the beach and harbour, it doesn't overlook the pool. Great for having breakfast and watching Alvor slowly come to life each day. This is our first time to Alvor and we loved it. It has an excellent beach that was not too busy, with numerous beach bars/restaurants and the old town centre with its wide choice of restaurants and bars, plus supermarkets and convenience store. Some of the bars are lively and there are also places if you want a quiet drink, have a chat and watch the sunset. The booking process with the owner Isabel was easy with regular communication via e-mail. We were met by Maria when we arrived who showed us around and gave us useful information. They were happy to accommodate a slightly early arrival which was very helpful for us to make the most of our first day. We have already been recommending Alvor and Isabel's apartment to family and friends. We would return to both without hesitation.

Great apartment, great location.
This was our fourth visit to Alvor and our third time in this 'condo'. Everything about the apartment was first class. It was clean, comfortable and well equipped. It has a large balcony/terrace for, amongst other things, watching the beautiful sunsets. It is 'front-line' with views over the harbour, river and down to the sea. The heart of the lively (but not too lively!) village is a couple of minutes stroll away and the stunning beach a few minutes the other way. The location is ideal. Alvor is one of our favourite places - atmospheric and with a large choice of restaurants and bars to suit every taste. Both Isabel (the owner) and Maria (local agent) were both very friendly and helpful during the booking process and at the apartment. We would highly recommend both this apartment and Alvor.
