Guest comments
‘We really had a great time and we can't thank you enough for letting us use your apartment. It really is home from home with all the comforts. Isn't it well situated too? Bang in the central Algarve with great beaches, interesting places to visit and high quality restaurants where the only difficulty is which one to choose. Those stretches between Fonte Santa, Almancil and Vale de Lobo have some great eating places plus there are plenty of more simple alternatives all within striking distance.’ - Del and Linda Barnby from Middlesex- September 2005
‘The apartment was very accommodating and comfortable. A gret location with a fantastic pool and the ability to explore the Algarve’ - Chris, Joe & Connor from Bedfordshire- June 2007
‘Fantastic time - had it all. The apartment was very comfortable and had everything you would want - a real home from home. We will certainly be returning and will recommend to our friends and family’ - The Cridlands from Brighton- September 2007
