Guest comments
Have been meaning to e-mail since we got back, we had a really lovely time! You have got a fantastic spot there! The weather was just right and the beach was beautiful. The only down side for me was that Scarlett, would you believe, did not like sand! It really distressed her when she got it on her feet so she wore her trainers and socks on the beach! Never mind, maybe she'll like it next year. I'll have to get her in training with a sand pit in our garden!
Thanks again for providing lovely accommodation and for being so helpful. Hollie, September 2006.
We had a very nice trip and a good stay in your apartment. My daughter loved the new pool! We loved Portugal! I have already told a lot of my friends about Sao Rafael and the apartment. Trond, Oslo, Norway, July 2006
The apartment is very comfortable and well appointed. The gardens were lovelyand the beaches and cliff top walks beautiful. We had a lovely holiday. We will be recommending you to our friends and colleagues. Neil

About the owner
Hello, We bought our property at Sao Rafael in 2003. We have been spending our holidays in Portugal for over twenty years and decided to take the plunge and buy something. We have been very happy with our purchase. We stay there ourselves 3-4 times a year and it is used by other family members and friends as well as being let out. Sao Rafael is a beautiful resort, unlike so many others it is actually near the beach, no tedious bus journeys!

Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
We bought our property at Sao Rafael in 2003. We have been spending our holidays in Portugal for over twenty years and decided to take the plunge and buy something. We have travelled extensively in the Algarve and the rest of Portugal, but were particularly attracted to the Sao Rafael area. For relaxing by the pool or on the beach, beautiful walks and calm evenings it is ideal. And the restaurants of Albufeira, Albufeira Marina and Guia are only a short distance away.

Unique benefits of the property
We have been very happy with our purchase. It has become 'home from home' and we are instantly relaxed when we arrive. We stay there ourselves 3-4 times a year and it is used by other family members and friends as well as being let out. Sao Rafael is a beautiful resort, and unlike so many others it is actually near the beach, 5 minutes walk and no tedious bus journeys.
