Very nice location, very nice terrace and very large apartment
Can get extremely hot during the day. The bedroom is very hot as there is no proper insulation on the roof. Moreover there are the neighbor’s aircon outlets in the terrace which are emitting hot air non stop. Hence one cannot stay in the terrace either. So no way to escape the heat during the day and it was unpleasant. Furthermore the owner asked for a 100 euro deposit at the last minute and this was not indicated in the booking conditions. They paid back the deposit not automatically but after my reminders :(

Being an expert in this region, which for me is by far the best area in the Algarve, I was finally able to visit these accommodations, which I had been wanting to experience for some time! Fortunately I was able to do it at a time of year when everything is still calm and quiet. The accommodation is fantastic, with very good taste in decoration, furniture and refinement, and despite being located on the first floor, the respective entrance is level with the street, at the back of the building, which was very useful for when traveling with an elderly person. About the surroundings, I already know them, and to those who don't know, I just say... seeing is believing! beautiful! Communication with the person who helps with the location of the apartment and the key safe was impeccable! I'll be back as soon as the opportunity arises!
Nothing to complaint about!

The location is unbeatable, so close to the beach without being exposed to the passersby. The house is well equipped, with a charming outdoor small terrace where one can take meals.
The only bathroom is in the en-suite room, which means other occupant(s) will have to go into somebody’s room to assess it. During the day it’s alright, but at night it’s not very inconvenient.
The checkin on line was a bit of work.
6.0
The location was nice. We had the middle Apartment (5) Had nice light.
In the exhaust from the kitchen was an animal (probably mouse or rat) making noise every now and then, not very nice with the kids.
They offered to move to a different apartment, but with the kids it was obviously not possible to move to a one bedroom apartment.
The exhaust fan was not working, probably because of the animal inside.
Unfortunately it was not very clean, not only dust but a greasy floor in the bathroom, which by the way was not smelling good.
There was NO Shampoo or soap in the shower, and also NO soap for the hands.
Overall it looks nice at the first glance, but there is a lot of fixing needed, small stuff, like loose wooden parts, doors from the cupboard and loose door handles...
I'm 183cm tall and I didn't fit in the bed, the feet were always over the edge.
When we arrived we didn't had a clear description which was our apartment. Only after trying the code in the different keyboxes we found out that it was number 5. They should write it in the booking site.
Clearly it was not worth the money...

The location of this place is stunning . Just what I was wishing for . A peaceful tranquil nature reserve . The apartment had everything I needed and was clean and comfortable . Lovely living space and kitchen and hot water in the shower . A nice touch from the owners was that they came and left some lemons for me and there were some when I arrived also basics such as salt pepper coffered and tea in the cupboard . East to get there without a car on the train from faro and an Uber for 5 euros . A 50 min walk to a shop so take what you need with you
I likes everything but I did find it difficult to locate the apartment .. clearer instructions needed and perhaps just basic instructions in the apartment telephone no etc if you did need support with anything

the location
The advertising picture was from another apartment with a great view. there was a lightening problem in the apartment when I arrived. The provided phone number for local assistance, was from someone who used to provide assistance but not anymore. I tried to contact the host phone number in Spain but they didn't spoke english or portuguese and I don't speak spanish, so comunication was not possible. 100 € were taken from my VISA and no explanation/justification was provided until now.

Nothing. Don't pay for this place.
For the third year we went to spend one week of our family vacation at Praia da Fábrica, a place that we love. Unfortunately this time we did stay in a awful place, an apartment that had nice pictures and an very expensive price that had nothing to do with the reality. When we opened the front door we notice a horrible smell, mold and sewage and that was only the beginning. The apartment was very dark, with dirty pots and kitchen utensils. The bathroom had a deteriorated door because of the humidity, booth mattress were very uncomfortable and bed sheets were old and stained. On top of this nightmare, all noise from the streets entered in the room like we had door and windows open. We left 3 days earlier because it was impossible to stay and rest. It was exactly the opposite of what we needed and payed for. It destroyed the family vacation, that we planned with almost one year in advance. We spoke with the administration but they just said empty things, like “ we are sorry that you did not like the place”. We agree, we usually don’t like place that is smelly, dirty, noisy and expensive. I hope Booking.com will do something with them.

The shower was great and the cleanliness of the apartment was perfect. Nothing else lived up to expectations
There is NO terrace, NO view! The beds are short (my husband is 6 foot and couldn’t get comfortable) and not comfortable. We advised the booking agent of some items that were broken/not working and no effect was made to fix these - and we were there for 10 days so there was no excuse for this. No deck chairs were available so that when we went to the beach, we had nothing but our own towels to sit on. The next door apartment had deck chairs allowing them to sit outside for breakfast. We were not able to do so.
The apartment was also quite smelly - some drain issue I suspect. Again, no-one came to fix this.
No plugs worked (bathroom and kitchen sink) - or were there.
There is NO service at all over the 10 days. I would have expected a change of towels and bedding if nothing else.
This is NOT a value for money. Much better for less can be obtained in the area.
This was to be a special holiday - it did not turn out to be a happy ‘special’ holiday and after 10 days, we were very happy to leave.
Also, be aware that unless you want to go to the beach each day, there is NO swimming pool in the area for public use.
5.0
the shower had good water pressure. the view was nice.
this is not a good value for money. The check in process is very user unfriendly, the bed was like sleeping on a trampoline, the bedding quality was terrible (foam pillows and a synthetic duvet), there was no towel or anything for outside on the plastic sofas (uncomfortable), the inside sofa is falling apart, no coffee machine, no dishwasher, no dish towel. The sliding doors need to be replaced and are very hard to open. the sunshade over the terrace is dirty and falling apart. Ants are an issue inside the flat. You are expected to manage your own trash but there are no instructions in the flat about where to do that. The area would be terrible without a car. For 200 € a night in Portugal, I expected more.

Good location.
This ad was misleading and even deceitful. We reserved two apartments in this small building that houses several flats. The first one was close to the ad, with high ceiling and a courtyard, but not the second. We thought we’d booked a top floor apt with a terrace overlooking the sea, and ended up in ground floor stuffy apt, stuck to the next door neighbors, with a room with no window and, at least in this late season, a deep moist stink. The photograph of the rooftop terrace kept showing up on our reservation, even in the email confirmation, however, it was a “trap”. So make sure if you’re aiming for the terrace that you read the info correctly and are not misled, like we were, by the word terrace and the photos. Ultimately, it changed our stay because we had no desire whatsoever to chill at home and had to be out all day to avoid spending time inside. We ended up leaving one day earlier than planned.... and no WIFI.

Great and quiet place to relax. Great relation of the price to the accomodation level.
The check-in procedures with lightbooking were complicated, iritating and frustrating. The name of the apartment apearing on google maps suggests it is a fraud.

Apartment was very beautiful, clean and spacious. Location is very close to the beach.
You have to pay a deposit and tourist tax (digitally) before you receive instructions for self check-in. After payments are done, the detailed instructions were sent and entering of the apartment went smoothly.

The view and the decor
We were supposed to get the key from a box with a lock box. When we arrived at midnight there was no key! We tried the given phone numbers: the Portuguese number does not exist....the Spanish number had an automatic answer, saying they were not available at that time (we got the same reply the next morning at 10am, Spanish time...). We sent a message through Booking and nothing happened!!!!!!!! So we started ringing all the hotels in the area - everything was full! Finally we managed a place to stay and ended up getting some sleep at 2am!!!!!!! Luckily we did not have any children - can you imagine all this with small children??? The message we got from the owner, the NEXT MORNING, was just a simple message saying "sorry but the person responsible had forgotten to leave the key and would we like to go to the apartment or get a refund?" That was it!!!!!! (Quite honestly if we had managed to get somewhere else, we would have gone!) We went to the apartment and the lady who forgot to leave the key was really apologetic, and really nice, saying that if someone had got in touch with her she would have come over straight away with the key (by the way you may get in touch with her but ONLY AFTER you had access to the apartment....). I find ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE that there is not a telephone number for an emergency like this!!!!!
The air conditioner "exhaust boxes" from the other apartments are on the terrace of the apartment, which means that when they are on we get a hot wind blowing on us!!!! You don't really need that in August, in the Algarve....
In fact, the apartment is an imense greenhouse added to the terrace of the building and obviously is not properly insulated! Therefore, either you sleep with the air conditionning on (which I hate), or else you cannot get a proper night sleep (by the way ONE air conditioner is not enough for the whole apartment in the day time!

I loved the location and the staff Anita and her sisters, were an absolute joy and extremely professional!. It was also very clean and cozy. Any difficulty was immediately sorted out.
The Wi-Fi connection was problematic in the flat we were first in.

Superb location, 2 minute walk to the boat that takes you to Fábrica Beach
I had lots of problems with management, first they double charged me twice but were able to refund me soon enoug, but now after 3 months and lots of emails requesting it, i'm still waiting for my invoice/receipt.

Location is great, the beach is very close.
Hosts answered quickly to inquiries.
AC works very well.
Wi-Fi did not work during the entire stay (signal too low).
A cockroach fell from the ceiling one night and we couldn't solve the problem.
Floor was not clean and has a lot of imperfections (totally not recommended for kids).
Not worth the price if you're going in July/August.
