It was a clean spacious property in a great location. Walkable to the old town of Albufeira that has plenty of restaurants and shops. The patio gave us a beautiful view of the Atlantic Ocean and the sunrise each morning.

Very kind and caring reception staff, who, as soon as they saw my husband was having difficulty walking (a very recent development), went out of their way to organise a different apartment to that allocated since the lift was out of order, so we were only on the first floor.
The apartment was spacious, spotlessly clean, and the kichen was well equipped, although I would have liked a dishcloth in addition to a washing up brush so I could wipe the worktop, and a pair of scissors. The beds were comfortable and the shower was very good.
Didn’t use the pool, but it looked good, with a large terrace area for sunbathing.
I also appreciated the fact that although I am English (but also have Portuguese nationality and have lived here 13 years) the reception staff conversed with me in Portuguese - so often I am replied to in English.
Parking was easy, and location is good - walking distance both to the beach and the exhibition centre by Lidl (we were there for the annual Wine Fair).
I would certainly stay there again.

We had a pleasant stay hotels was clean and comfortable good well equipped kitchen. We stayed in a 1 bedroom apartment with sea views right above the pool. Safe were friendly. Hotel is situated above the old town and on a steep hill. But taxis are cheap enough and very easy to get. We would return in the future

Great location, helpful staff. Rooms were extremely spacious. The smell of the water system was truly unpleasant. Not the quietest place especially when late night parties get back. But walkable to everything you’d need.

This is such a lovely place to stay in Albufeira and I would definitely stay here again! The apartment is lovely and clean, with a very nice balcony and view, and very good internet connection. There is 24/7 reception in case you need help with anything.
The location is great, about 10 minutes walk to the old town centre and the beach. I will say that you have to take stairs to get there, so that might be difficult for people with mobility issues, which is not the fault of the property.

Staff were very helpful, we stayed in the second building. They drove us there and collected us on departure.
Apartments clean, spacious and well serviced. Pool area quiet and relaxing.
Lots of hills and steps in the area, so not for those with walking difficulties.
5-10 minute walk to the old town, and Aldi was our nearest shop.

The property is very well located and very close to the old town as well as Praia da Peneco. Very clean and the staff are super helpful and professional. We would like to thank Paulo, Isabel and Ibrahim for their excellent customer service. Paulo was such a good excellent source of information. Very hard working man.
We stayed at room 602 and it was super clean. Whoever cleans that room deserve a praise because everything was tidy and no dust in the cupboards.

Beautiful location, very accommodating, walkable but like most of Portugal u will be going up/down steep hills, everything is within the 1-15 mins away by foot, we travelled with twins in a double stroller/pram and had no issues other then being tired from hills, beautful pool and lounge area with food/drinks being served. Staff was amazing. We will be retuning in the future

Affordable accommodation just outside the old city up on a hill. Staff is friendly. The rooms are very old and need renovation and the beds feel like camping beds. However the bathroom was redone, which was a nice touch. There is not much in the immediate area other than a Lidl, but if you want a decently priced place to stay away from the hustle and bustle, this might be it.

The property itself is absolutely stunning - the grounds are beautifully kept with lush greenery and clean pools that are in great condition. The main bedroom room was clean and comfortable, although the sofa bed was very uncomfortable and caused some back pain unfortunately! Our bathroom and kitchen were both great and equipped with everything we needed. Our balcony had a beautiful view and was lovely to sit and eat on. Overall, a lovely place but definitely would reccomend the property update their sofa beds- or customers book a room with bedrooms for each guest.
