We loved our stay so much we extended it. Great location, perfect for our family (2 children). Close to everything while still being outside of the main strip and avoiding the noise from the night life. Will definitely be staying here again

This is such a lovely place to stay in Albufeira and I would definitely stay here again! The apartment is lovely and clean, with a very nice balcony and view, and very good internet connection. There is 24/7 reception in case you need help with anything. The location is great, about 10 minutes walk to the old town centre and the beach. I will say that you have to take stairs to get there, so that might be difficult for people with mobility issues, which is not the fault of the property.

The property is very well located and very close to the old town as well as Praia da Peneco. Very clean and the staff are super helpful and professional. We would like to thank Paulo, Isabel and Ibrahim for their excellent customer service. Paulo was such a good excellent source of information. Very hard working man. We stayed at room 602 and it was super clean. Whoever cleans that room deserve a praise because everything was tidy and no dust in the cupboards.

Affordable accommodation just outside the old city up on a hill. Staff is friendly. The rooms are very old and need renovation and the beds feel like camping beds. However the bathroom was redone, which was a nice touch. There is not much in the immediate area other than a Lidl, but if you want a decently priced place to stay away from the hustle and bustle, this might be it.

The property was too far away from any restaurants and there was no restaurant on site. Some of the other guests were very noisy at all hours of the day and night. The management ignored this and did nothing to resolve the situation.

Beautiful location, very accommodating, walkable but like most of Portugal u will be going up/down steep hills, everything is within the 1-15 mins away by foot, we travelled with twins in a double stroller/pram and had no issues other then being tired from hills, beautful pool and lounge area with food/drinks being served. Staff was amazing. We will be retuning in the future

The property itself is absolutely stunning - the grounds are beautifully kept with lush greenery and clean pools that are in great condition. The main bedroom room was clean and comfortable, although the sofa bed was very uncomfortable and caused some back pain unfortunately! Our bathroom and kitchen were both great and equipped with everything we needed. Our balcony had a beautiful view and was lovely to sit and eat on. Overall, a lovely place but definitely would reccomend the property update their sofa beds- or customers book a room with bedrooms for each guest.

Staff were very helpful, we stayed in the second building. They drove us there and collected us on departure. Apartments clean, spacious and well serviced. Pool area quiet and relaxing. Lots of hills and steps in the area, so not for those with walking difficulties. 5-10 minute walk to the old town, and Aldi was our nearest shop.
