Guest comments
Just a line to say how much we all enjoyed staying at 12B. Your penthouse is beautiful and very impressive. After being out in the crowds it was nice to have such a wonderful peaceful home to return to and have such space and facilities to enjoy. The location is perfect and the staff at reception were very kind and helpful. All in all we could not have chosen a better place to stay.
– Angus and Mary.
Dear Mr and Mrs Hay, We must thank you again for a lovely holiday at your Apartment in Penina. Penina has so many happy family memories for us and we look forward to returning in the future.
– Malcolm and Diane.
Owner profile
About the owner
We are a retired couple from the UK who have been coming out to Penina over the past 25 years both by ourselves and with our family. Having stayed in other apartments and the hotel at various points over that time a few years ago the opportunity arose for us to buy the Penthouse at 12B. This decision has not only allowed us to enjoy Penina more often, but also extend that enjoyment to our children and grandchildren. We very much hope that you will get as much enjoyment from visiting Penina as we do.
Year purchased: 2005
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
Since we started coming to Penina in the 1980’s we have always loved the relaxed atmosphere of the Penina estate and the opportunity the area affords, for both a very relaxing holiday, and to do lots and lots of activities. The refuge it provides from the cold and wet British winter is also a great plus and one we have enjoyed time and time again as the rain and cold gets a bit much! The fact that we knew the area so well when the opportunity arose for us to buy the apartment meant it was a very easy decision to take and we are particularly pleased that our grandchildren enjoy coming out to Portugal and revelling in all it has to offer.
Unique benefits of the property
Put simply you can really feel at home in the Apartment. That you can nip down to the supermarket and stock up on provisions as soon as you arrive means you can relax straight away in the knowledge that the cupboards are full. That so many, and such a variety of, activities and things to do are within easy driving distance also makes it a fantastic place to holiday as whatever your mood on any given day you can choose to do as much or as little as you want. The fact that it’s also in one of the best golfing areas in the world is just an added bonus!
