Not our first time in the Algarve, but this is one of the nicest properties we have stayed in. The apartment was very well appointed with everything that you need to cook, serve, and complete your stay. The beds, very comfy, firm mattress and crisp linen, changed weekly as were the towels. Now a note about the cleaning staff, I have seen dirtier operating theaters! They keep the place spotlessly clean, both inside and out, thank you. Reps/office: fantastic , always available and very informative. P.S. if your coming from South Africa, Tea biscuits/ biltong would be much appreciated by the office! Pool perfect size well made and clean, BBQ (4 of) traditional Portuguese construction, with outside kitchens X2. Pool table is of an all weather type covering, very sensible, as when it is raining or humid you can still play. Gardens are lush and more than enough room for the kids to run around. Ample patio furniture/ pool sunlounges even when fully occupied. Security very good with cameras at both the front ,electric gate, and over the pool/leisure area. You can walk to local amenities, but not recommend as no pavements, however, at approx. 15.00/15.15 each day come out the gate, turn right, and walk for about 400 mts. Stop, take a wine or beer and wait! you will be treated to a lovely sight of about 150 goats, all with bells, being herded by one man and his dog from one field to the farm near by. Restaurants/bars: all very local and 5 mins away. Aldi also.
