Owner profile
About the owner
We are Adrian and Carol and we have 2 teenage daughters, a son in his 20's and 4 grandchildren.
We all love Armacao de Pera as there is so much to do and see. Adrian and I love the peaceful area of our apartment but our teenage girls love the fact that they can find a lively bar within easy walking distance and we are happy that it is a safe area for them to be out and about in. The whole town is very family orientated and child friendly. Children are made just as welcome in the restaurants in the evenings as during the day. Our grandchildren love the new playground area by the beach that was created last year when the whole seafront had a 10 million euro face lift and became a pedestrianised area. The apartment is a much loved second home.
Year purchased: 2008
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
We bought the apartment because we love the location.
It is so central to everything. It is in a quiet spot but only a few minutes walk to all the shops, bars, restaurants and most importantly - the gorgeous beach. We just love our apartment and only wish we could spend a lot more time there.
We like to stay in the cooler months as it can be very hot in the summer, particularly in July and August. In Even in December 2011, we enjoyed 22 to 25 degrees most days and in January 2012 it was a bit cooler and drizzly but still a lot warmer than in the UK.
Unique benefits of the property
Personally, we like to hire a car so that we can visit some of the wonderful old villages as well as the water parks and local attractions but the great thing about our location is that it is not essential to have a car. Public transport is available and so much is within easy walking distance. Most of the attractions have a courtesy bus service too (but you usually need to book the day before).
We have tried to make the apartment a comfortable second home rather than just a rental property and if there is anything our guests suggest, we try to act on it. Its the little things that make all the difference.
