Great week in a fantastic location!
Thank you so much Michelle and Mike! We had such an amazing week at your apartment. The location was perfect for a relaxing week as a family. The facilities on site are brilliant but also great to have so much nearby within walking distance or a short Uber trip away. Hope to return at some point :)

Fabulous holiday in a wonderful appartment
We had an amazing holiday in this wonderful appartment. Spotlessly clean, tastefully furnished, spacious with a fab view. We only wish the balcony was a bit bigger as we all enjoyed sitting out each morning for breakfast. All the information provided by the owners Michelle and Mike was spot on. On their advice we organised car hire and visited local restaurants and all were fantastic. We only had one issue during our stay when the gas bottle for the boiler needed swapping but this was sorted immediately. Excellent service . Nothing was too much trouble. The kids loved the pool to the appartment and we hadn't realised that the pool bar was a restaurant selling delicious food all day. The owners were great and we loved the traditional Portuguese vibe about the place. The appartment is in a great location and we loved the 10 min stroll down to the beautiful local beaches. We would highly recommend this appartment.

This is the third time I have stayed in this apartment and will be booking again for next year. The apartment has been revamped with new comfy beds making the stay even more pleasant. Great service as always from the owners and all in all a beautiful place to stay. Would highly recommend!

A lovely stay
On arrival the apartment was very clean and we were very happy. The apartment is well equipped, we cooked in the apartment many times with no issues. The beds are very comfy, parasol and chairs egg to use for the beach along with cool boxes etc. The location is very quiet which I liked. 15 minute walk to the marina but part of the road does not have a path and can be dangerous with children. Walking pack is ok but the last 5 minutes is steep. From the marina is another 15 minute walk but quite pleasant. Stop at the marina for a rest, to get to the strip is about another hour we only went once as enjoyed the old town more. Tommys shop is 5 minute walk but very expensive, city bar next door is very cheap for drinks etc. You can carry on walking up the hill for more restaurants and another mini market. The local beaches are stunning, we visited sao Rafael, arrifes, caelho and castello. All beautiful and have a restaurant which are quite expensive. Access to the pool is through the on site restaurant which we found intruding especially when people were eating etc. The apartment block is overall very quiet and peaceful, there are 2 dogs on a lower floor which constantly bicker and yap, this did not bother us but mentioning as it can bother some. We had many peaceful nights relaxing on the balcony which we enjoyed. The water gets very hot so be careful with children leave it to run and settle for a few minutes. We loved this location and area but if walking and being local to the night life if your thing maybe this isn't for you. The owners are very responsive and we had to contact the agent once within our stay and the issue resolved within 15 minutes. The gas bottle has run out. For the price we thought this apartment was outstanding and would stay again. We used uber which was very cheap and reliable, the most expensive trip was to zoo marine for 10euros, much cheaper than local taxis.

Great family holiday
Beautiful clean apartment in a beautiful area... stayed here with my husband, my 2 children and my mum and we had a great holiday. Had lots of fun at the pool and a few great meals at the restaurant by the pool. Took us 10mins to walk down to the beach which is down a steep hill so just beware that you have to walk back up!! It was a 15 minute walk to the marina (also down a steep hill) where there are lots of restraunts and shops then we used to get a taxi back up for €8. Old town wz a 40minute walk Rd the coast then €10 back in a taxi. I would definitely stay in this apartment again only next time I would maybe hire out a car so we could explore more and not spend so much on taxis. A 2nd key would also be great. Would also like to thank Michelle for answering all my questions (which was a lot) and giving me lots of info about the area... thanks for a great holiday... highly recommend 😀

About the host

Hosted by Mike & Michelle Lane

Host profile image
We live in England with our 2 children. We both work, but spend most of our holidays in Portugal and have really fallen in love with the country.

Why they chose this property

After years of travelling looking for our favourite place to buy an apartment we finally fell in love with Albufeira.

It has everything we want, an endless number of fantastic coves and beaches, a choice of lively or quieter nightlife, a wide range of attractions nearby, the beautiful Old Town with its cobbled streets and very importantly, a designer shopping complex nearby for our two teenage daughters!

What makes this property unique

The apartment is in a peaceful area alongside villas but only 5 mins drive from Albufeira. We never tire of the views across the hillside. We have a sea view and there is a lovely coastal footpath just outside the complex that leads to a series of fabulous beaches.

The airport is only 35-40 minutes away and driving and car-hire is easy and convenient.

We can leave England in the early morning and be in the pool or on the beach by mid-day!

We have a local agent who can help with individual requirements. e.g. baby-equipment, golf, excursions, car-hire/transfers etc.
