    Good option for someone who want to be close to everything but away from the city center.

    Parks for cars are outside, but as it is a peaceful area and there are lot of parking spots, it was not an issue for me.

    The staff was really friendly and helpful. The room was good for what I paid and it was fully equipped. The weather was nice so I also enjoyed the pool and the terrace.

    I received a text asking about what time I was checking in (late). I replied immediately. When I arrived at the accommodation there was nobody in reception and nobody answering the telephone number on the door. A resident gave me another number and someone arrived to give me my keys.

    Very good value. Comfortable and decent size of apartment for the price.

    It wasn't about cleaning, it was clean but the apartment looked was closed more than a year. With a strong sweet smell. I would recommend to keep windows open before the guest arrives. If the price wasn't good It would not worth to be there.

    The space is quite good, staff very gentle and location interesting, the terrace is also a good attraction.

    The fittings were a bit worn and tired, ie doors on kitchen cabinets, and air conditioner did not work properly due to lack of outside unit.

    Self catering accommodation, with all essentials for cooking ect. Was nice and clean.

    The cleaners never came! We stayed 8 nights, and they didn't come once! We had to get our own binbags, and take our rubbish to a skip, we asked for towels twice and didn't get any, the bedding wasn't changed, though they said it would be on the 7th day, we are very clean but when you use aftersun and get sandy feet they just need changing more frequently! It really dampened our stay. The bar is rarely open. You can only use one Aircon at a time so can't have one person in each room sort of thing or cool down the bedroom for nighttime. Loved it here but wouldn't stay more than a few days again. On check out there were no staff around so it was very stressful and we ended up throwing the keys in through an open window and then fighting to get our deposit back. Which we did.

    It was so quiet and peaceful! The apartments are great for a short stay, ideally located (if you have a car or bike), free parking, polite staff on arrival, working fridge, beds were twin singles pushed together so pretty uncomfortable to share but large. Rooms are large and have Aircon. Everything is basic but functional and tidy. 2 cute stray cats . Deposit is less than advertised so that's good but means you bring the wrong amount of money with you. Very pretty from outside. Clean.

    Room smelled like mould, extra toilet paper +0.50 cents, the apartment was not well insulated but thats just the usual around Portugal.

    Nice apartment with everything you may need.

    Some of our neighbours could be noisy and arrive home in the early hours.

    Pool was good but needed cleaning more often. Rural location was nice. Good number of places of interest within easy travel. Ubers available as needed and good value.

    Staff is rough, not too polite, but reasonable. Check-in is late, 16:00, checkout is early untill 10:00. If you stay only 1 night, you won't likely enjoy swimming pool and stay much. Hard mattress.

    Great studio apartments with big terrace. 2 swimming pools. Good price in October. Proximity to Albufeira and Aquashow water park.

    Doorstoppers would be great because of the wind the doors smash The setup is some what strange. People on the first floor need to go outside on the main street and via the main entrance to get in the garden

    The swimmingpool The garden with hawaiian hibiscus flowers etc The spacious and clean room Value for money

    Had a funky smell and didn't feel very clean. There was some mold on the bathroom ceiling.

    Price-quality was very good for this area. Had everything we needed and was close (by car) to Albufeira town and to the beaches.
