Guest comments
What a fabulous place for a vacation! Our first time in Portugal, and what a wonderful country and place to stay. It was perfect for the 2 couples with the layout of the bedrooms and baths at opposite ends. All the facilities are 1st class from the fridge to the stove to dishwasher and clothes washer - you couldn't ask for more. The views from the huge terrace is breathtaking & short walk to beach. We recommend to all! S Malabar, MB.
From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for giving us the opportunity to stay in your beautiful home. Who could possibly ask for anything more!! Bruce and I are having such a wonderful time that we have decided to stay for 3 weeks next year - this vacation could not have been more perfect. Thank you. C & B Sheffield, UK.
We have enjoyed your condo, after a while we felt like we were completely at home. We are sad to leave this area tomorrow - the people, the food, the sun, the shopping were all a treasured memory. Thanks so much. M. V. Scotland.
Owner profile
Our Family 2008 in Oakville,Ontario, Canada
About the owner
We live just outside Toronto, Canada and have 4 children and 6 grandchildren (all under 6 years old)! We are now both retired - I was formerly a Special Education Teacher and my husband, Mike, was in Retail Management. We have always kept ourselves busy with Property ownership and management also. My husband and I chose The Algarve as our 2nd home because people are helpful and kind, it is safe and the food and beaches are out of this world! We have made some wonderful friendships.
Year purchased: 2002
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
The Algarve has terrific weather year round and our apartment is just 15 mins walk to the fabulous beaches and village with amazing restaurants. You can drive up to Monchique Mountains for a leisurely Sunday lunch with the locals or walk to the Alvor and have fabulous fish or seafood in one of the many great restaurants. Alvor village also has many pubs and cafes! Most anything that you want is just a short walk away. You may wish to just soak up the sunshine by the pool or on our huge private terrace - BBQing one of the many fishes caught locally and have some fabulous Portuguese wine! Seville and Lisbon are only a 2 hour drive away.
Unique benefits of the property
We have one of the most well-furnished, comfortable, apartments PLUS FREE use of desktop Computer with high speed internet, FREE long distance phone to Western Europe, Canada and the US, and WIFI.

When we go to visit, we really enjoy sitting on the terrace with views of the ocean and Monchique Mountains. There's sun all day but you can also sit under the umbrella, if you wish. One comment that we get time and time again -"we didn't expect your apartment to be this nice! We will definitely be back!" And. . . many families and couples have come back time and time again.
