Beautiful 2 bedroom apartment on the beach. Spacious and clean with a fantastic view of the ocean. The contactless check in was easy. The only issue we experienced was with the water. We quickly learned that there was only enough hot water for 1 person to shower so we started staggering our showers. We had 1 day where there was no water for several hours but it was quickly resolved. There are a few supermarkets nearby which is handy for stocking up on essentials. We were pleasantly surprised to find a bottle of wine, cheese, crackers and candies on the kitchen table when we arrived. It was a nice touch.

The apartment is on the ground floor. The check in process was seamless. Anastasia's directions to access the apartment and wifi were very easy. The apartment is very clean and and decorated nicely. My kids, ages 10 and 12 were comfortable. One child was in the bedroom and the other one decided to sleep on the pull out couch. There was plenty of space. The view really is beautiful and the large deck is perfect. Our family felt very safe here. I liked that there was an indoor and outdoor pool. We only used the outdoor one. The weather was perfect the entire time so we did not need the indoor one. The beach was perfect! It was never too crowded and we rented the beach chairs with umbrellas on a couple occasions. The bar and restaurant located on the beach was also perfect. The apartment is walking distance to the new town and the strip. I felt comfortable with my kids walking around there. There is a lot to see and do. The apartment is centrally located and were were able to travel east and west with no complication. It's located about a 2 1/2 hour drive from Lisbon Airport. During our stay. I had questions for Mario. He was very quick to respond, thank you. We have enjoyed our holiday is this beautiful apartment and would recommend it. Thank you Mario and Anastasia.

The condo has all the amenities, was very clean and we had quick response from the owner and caretaker to any of our questions. The location was perfect for us. It was quiet, but just a short walk to the strip to Old Town. The hill to walk up to the main strip might be a challenge for people with mobility issues. Two beautiful pools, but neither is heated. That was our only disappointment. We would definitely book this condo again. It made our three-month stay in Albufeira very memorable. Obrigade Mario, Anastasia and partners!

Our first VRBO booking overseas, we were not sure what to expect. And WOW! Our expectations were not only met but exceeded. The location was perfect. You could walk to anywhere. Lots of excellent restaurants to chose from. We rented a car which made life easy. Don’t be scared, it wasn’t that bad but highly suggest renting one with NAV. Well worth the money. AND the highway transponder. (Google it) Spain’s border is under an hour away. With great beaches too. All first class highway systems. Taxis of any kind were readily available for all your local needs. Grocery stores were abound with North American standards. Great gluten free section. The pictures on VRBO do not do this condo enough justice. Modern. IKEA modern. And thoughtful. The bathroom was spectacular was huge walk in shower. Mattresses, linens, pillows were high quality and very comfortable. Tons of organized storage. Clothes hangers. The clothes washer was very handy. The kitchen had everything you need. Bright, spacious and organized. The tv room was perfect. Nice size tv. Even a HDMI cable to stream your fav stuff. Sound system too. And comfy pull out couch. The terrace was breathtaking. Great space. Tons of shade. Coal bbq which was a great addition. Loved the big round table. The condo was a nice size with no loud parties or noise of any kind. Did not feel transient at all. Friendly. Clean. And very cared for. Even the local cats who are super cute. You don’t bother them, they don’t bother you. The indoor and outdoor pool were clean. Chaise lounges and umbrellas provided. Nice quiet space. The beach/beach restaurant down the not so steep hill was in an amazing little cove. The condo has its own gated private entrance. The food was authentic and delicious. Well priced and friendly staff. English was not a problem. Anywhere. Thank you for an Mario for an amazing vacation. See you next September. :)
