Great location
Great location, easy walking distance to a couple of local beaches and restaurants. Good value for money, well stocked kitchen for utensils and the welcome goodies were a lovely gesture. Store cupboard condiments and oils were a plus for cooking at home. Also, there are plenty of beach things, umbrella, towels and children’s toys. The barbecue was a fantastic bonus but the lack of barbecue tools made us have to compromise, but it didn’t stop us. For us, the beds were quite hard but we found spare duvets and used them as toppers. The reason we can’t give 5 stars is, because of the beds, we missed meeting with the agent to receive the key and wasn’t quite sure where to leave the key on departure, even though we did message Terry a couple of times. Would we stay here again, yes. Thank you Lorraine and John

vacances Sao Rafael
Nous avons passé 15 jours merveilleux dans ce lieu qui est proche de la belle plage de Sao Rafael.Tout correspondait au descriptif de l'annonce et c'était très calme, donc reposant. Terry, notre interlocuteur sur place, était très gentil. Nous recommandons ce locatif. Eric.

Magnifique séjour
Très belle résidence. Très bel appartement, très bien équipé. Dommage que la literie ne soit pas très confortable et les lits trop petits ( je mesure 1m87). Quelques fourmis également dans la salle de bain... Sinon, c'est vraiment superbe , tranquille , avec des plages magnifiques tout près !!

Proche d’une magnifique plage
Un appartement très fonctionnel, bien équipé et très calme. 10 minutes à pied de la plage de sao Rafael. Attention il n’y a aucun commerce à proximité. Il faut donc une voiture pour aller au supermarché, boire un verre le soir ou prendre une glace. Piscine commune très agréable et très propre (surtout en période Covid) Jackie est très conciliante et répond très vite.

Fantastic!
The apartment itself is lovely and very well equipped for a family of four and also very cool (especially for July!!!) We were impressed with the size of it which was perfect for us. The landscaped Gardens outside were a welcome addition for our two children who loved playing outside.The pool area nearby is excellent, very quiet and safe. There a couple of restaurants and stunning beaches within walking distance and we went to Albufeira fairly easily on the bus or by taxi ( a very prompt service!) We’ve had a fantastic time!!!

Vielen Dank für die tolle Zeit in diesem wunderschönen Apartement. Es gibt alles, was man für einen Urlaub mit Kindern braucht. Der Pool in 2 min, der Strand in 5 min und viele Restaurants. Es gibt einen Grill und direkt vor der Terasse eine große Wiese. Die Kommunikation mit Richard war sehr nett, zuverlässig und unkompliziert. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder!

well appointed quiet facility close to pool and beach
Well equipped apartment with lots of space and great patio area overlooking large grassed area. Comfortable beds and excellent shower room. Excellent well equiped kitchen and dining area with all facilities. The owner was most informative and was very helpful and understanding with an unexpected site maintenance problem. Would highly recommend this apartment for a quiet restful stay close to wonderful beach and large communal pool area.

Stivolles 2 Zimmerappartemet, was ein wenig in die Jahre gekommen ist
Jackie bietet hier Ihre Wohnung an, die leider ein wenig Farbe vertragen könnte und in der sich leider auch ein Teil der Bodenfliesen im Schlafzimmer gelöst haben. Bei unserem Aufenthalt von 15 Tagen wurden einmal die Handtücher und die Bettwäsche gewechselt, fürs Putzen ist jeder Mieter selber verantwortlich, worunter ein wenig die gesamt Sauberkeit der Wohnung leidet. Ansonsten ist dies ein schönes geräumiges Apartement, welches einen schönen Flair hat. Der Strand ist ca. 5 Minuten entfernt, die Anlage ist ruhig und ein Pool ist auch vorhanden. Als wir da waren war es noch was kalt und der Kamin, den ich bewusst zu dieser Jahreszeit gebucht hatte, funktionierte leider nicht. Eine Kaffemaschine gibt es auch nicht, was aber wohl ein deutsches Problem ist ;-). Der Service rund um die Buchung ist Klasse. Jackie versorgte uns mit allen Inormationen rund um die Anreise und das dann auch auf deutsch. Bei der Anreise wurden wir dann von Richard empfangen der uns dann auch während unserem Aufenthalt jeder Zeit mit Rat und Tat zur Verfügung stand. Alles in Allem können wir das Appartement trotzdem empfehlen, vor allem wenn man z.B. mit Kinder reist.

About the host

Host profile image
Having visited the Albufeira area for the last 20 years and the Sao Rafael complex in particular since 2009 we decided in 2014 to purchase our own apartment. We now visit 3 or 4 times a year, mainly to relax and enjoy our holiday but also to ensure that the high standard of our apartment is maintained.
