Guest comments
We just have to confirm what a great apartment this is and so close to the beach and town. Just as you said 10mins walk. Carnt wait to go back. Chris and family. aug 2011
Hi Loraine,
Paul and I just wanted to say thank you for letting us stay in your wonderful apartment. I cannot believe we left only a week ago - it seems like a
long time ago now. We had such a lovely time and hope to go back in the near future. The apartment was in such a good spot and close to the beach and restaurants but still really quiet and peaceful. Also very clean and spacious!
We spent most of the time at the beach down the road, couldn't ask for
anything better! We'll be in touch should we plan any more holidays to Alvor.
Kind regards,Rebecca Sept 2011
Owner profile
About the owner
Hello there, We are a semi retired couple whom enjoy walking etc and so Alvor/Samoens are perfect places for us. Also with 2 grandchildren the beach in Portugl and the Slopes in Samoens are fabulous areas to be with them. We have had the apartment in Alvor for 6 years now, and the studio in Samoens for 9 yrs, and we can say, with hands on heart, that all who have been to Alvor, and Samoens, have had a great time with no probs. We are involved in Sea Cadets big time , especially as Keith is a Master Mariner, so, when we have spare time, we like to disappear with our camper van and, of course, the dog. I would say we are very much the new generation of OAPs meaning we enjoy life to the full.
Year purchased: 2004
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
One of our daughters was a rep in Alvor and on visiting her, and thinking she was staying, we thought it would be a good idea to have our own abode. We bought she came home! The property is in a great location with the benefit of being near to the beach, shops and lots of walking in a beautiful area. We like the 4th floor situation and at the side of the block away from pool noise and with great views.
Unique benefits of the property
The apartment is very large and and,with being on the side of the block, the sun is on the balcony for breakfast up to 12ish so keeps cool during the day. Bus stop just a few yards away and only 10 mins walk to beach and town. Lots of safe private car parking round the rear of the building and a lift up to all floors. Nice to go on the roof terrace at the end of the day and watch the sun go down before heading down to excellent restaurants for the evening.
