Beautiful designer ground floor apartment with leisure complex pool, gym & sauna

Highly desirable, 2 bedroom ground floor apartment with extra-large terrace. Air conditioning. Large fully fitted kitchen. Luxury bathrooms. Satellite TV and DVD. The fitness complex offers indoor heated pool, gym, sauna and Turkish bath and more. Close to shops, restaurants, beaches, golf courses and water parks. Beautifully furnished throughout, it’s fully air-conditioned and has everything you could wish for that perfect holiday. There’s a spacious living/dining area, a ‘dream’ kitchen with fully fitted Bosch appliances, bedrooms with top quality beds (one with a visco-elastic mattress for troublesome backs!) and stylish bathrooms with underfloor heating – a real treat. Outside, there is a lovely large dining terrace and garden area where you can relax and enjoy the famous Algarve sunshine. The apartment’s special features include a surround sound system, a flat-screen TV and DVD player for those ‘chill out’ moments and fast fibre broadband for connectivity. A small safe is also fitted.

Our village: Guia has all the shops you could want within easy walking distance. Supermarket, baker, newsagent (UK), bank, medical centre, chemist, hairdresser, post office, cafes and bars etc. Entertainment: for those who don’t want to sun worship or golf for their entire holiday, there are several attractions nearby to entertain the whole family. Zoo marine with its dolphin and parrot shows is perfect for children, while water parks Slide and Splash, Aquatic and the Big One are within very easy driving distance too.
Eating: Guia boasts over 25 restaurants – from the simple but succulent to high class continental cuisine, there is something to suit everyone. Food lovers will enjoy the popular local dish chicken piri piri at The Palladium restaurant where the family will welcome you as if you’re part of the family. Or if it’s a special occasion you’re celebrating, enjoy lunch or dinner at a 2 rosette Michelin starred restaurant.

Within the leisure centre: There is not only a heated swimming pool and recreational area which is all air-conditioned, but also a well equipped gym, games room with pool table, darts and table tennis, a sauna and steam room. There are shower and toilet facilities. The roof terrace has a large sun area and a separate and very pretty decked garden section. (Please note that the condominium committee ask for a one-off 20 euro contribution to maintenance costs for use of the gym or steam/saunas. The pool and all other areas do however have full free access).
Praia de Gale is less than 10 minutes by car and offers restaurants overlooking the sea serving mouth-watering fresh fish, miles of lovely sandy beaches with hidden coves and stunning views, together with water sports in season.

Coast/Beach and Golf: Praia de Gale is less than 10 minutes by car and offers restaurants overlooking the sea serving fresh fish, miles of lovely sandy beaches with hidden coves and stunning views, together with water sports in season.
The Algarve is a popular destination for golfers and Guia is central to them all - the whole region offers around 25 to choose from and more are planned! The closest is Salgados, located on the flat lands behind the beach at Gale (under 10 mins by car). The 18-hole Par 72 course also has a driving range and putting green, pro shop, restaurant and bar. Our apartment folder details them all.
We are registered with the local authority for renting and have a complaint book.

Please allow a one day gap between any existing booking and your own, to allow time for full sanitation by our cleaners. Thank you!.

Superb Apartment *****
We were looking for an apartment for a golfing trip and didn't want to be in the middle of tourist areas. Guia is a lovely small town with all the amenities you will need. The communication with Nigel (owner) was first class and he responded almost immediately when asked questions. The apartment was spotless and even better than advertised. It was literally a home from home, just with much better weather and suitably located to reach many of the Algarve's best golf courses.

Wonderful stay
A beautiful clean appointment with everything you could need. Was also left little extras (milk, bread, wine etc) which was a very nice touch. Great communication with the owner too. Its in a nice quiet area with a couple of restaurants near by. Only 5/6 euro for an Uber to the old town in Albufeira and the beach. I came with friends for a girly holiday. Will defo return with my husband and family.

The apartment is superbly equipped with everything you would need for a holiday. It is a short walk to the village with it's many restaurants and bars and only a short drive to Albufeira. The patio area is great for relaxing and catching up reading. Would highly recommend and we will certainly be returning on our next holiday to Portugal.

Good Access to the Algarve
Guia is a small town just a few minutes from Albufeira and the gorgeous Gale beaches. We used it as our center to explore the Algarve, which was easy with Google maps… Portuguese roads are very manageable if you’re ok with all the roundabouts. During our 3 weeks at Nigel’s we visited Sagres, Lagos, Monchique, OLHÃO, Alcoutim, and many places in between. The apartment is very clean plus they have a woman clean weekly for long term stays. The decor was not to our liking and the LR couches have covers to hide the wear, but the kitchen has prime Bosch refrigerator , dw, washing machine and dryer. The patio is large, private, and lovely, and Nigel could not have been kinder, more responsive, or more helpful, and there are many good restaurants and even a bakery extremely close by.

a lovely place in a quiet little town
The property is amazing, big covered patio, very well equipped, a lot of little extras. The weekly housekeeper for our one month stay was a bonus for sure. A very quiet location but only a short walk to small restaurants and stores. We did not rent a car, we bussed and Ubered it everywhere. Excellent bus service into Albuferia, the mall and other towns up and down the coast.

Great Location and a Perfect Stay in a Wonderful Apartment
We enjoyed a wonderful week at Nigel's place. The location was perfect for us. For us, it was a perfect base for exploring the Algarve. We loved the village of Guia, and the cute cafés and restaurants all within short walking distance. And it was a short drive to both the beautiful Galé beach, and into Albufeira city centre. Great communication with Nigel helped us get settled-in. There was a thorough set instructions and advice, and excellent recommendations for restaurants throughout the region. The apartment was very clean, spacious, and well-equipped. There is a nice terrace and garden, great for relaxing on a sunny afternoon. The bed was comfortable, and the kitchen was very well-equipped. Everything worked well: a/c, Wi-Fi, Netflix, etc. The security system was very good and easy to use. Parking was easy and convenient, and check-in/out was quick and easy. All-in-all, an excellent stay! I highly recommend, and will certainly return!

Lovely apartment with a very large BUT ...
Overall we had a lovely stay. Apartment is clean and nicely decorated. We arrived at 12:30am and desperate for a cup of tea, sadly welcome pack did not include €0.60 container of milk so couldn’t have one. The owner never mentioned the garden under the patio was being redone and we were interrupted during what we very much needed a restful holiday, once whilst all four of us were laid on loungers so builders could bring rocks etc and do work. We ended up just going inside. I do feel I am being exceptionally kind giving four stars to our experience as what occurred on the last day is totally unacceptable. The design is such that when people enter the complex they can see the patio area, both cleaners were arriving and looked directly at me loaded down with recycling and garbage leaving the garden area of the flat to dispose of items. It didn’t stop them and they proceeded to go to the front door and ring the bell 25-30 times. Continually!! My two young daughters were on the other side of the door saying, we can’t open door please please wait for our mummy to come back. But no, they used their key to let themselves in, as I was only gone 3 minutes or so they really didn’t give it long!! My husband was in the shower. When I got back it was evident my girls were very scared and this is unacceptable! They cleaners were saying you go you go! It was 9:40am and check out clearly clearly stated as 10:30. This is wrong! Totally! I have been very very generous with 4* as they was an awful experience.

Lovely, clean apartment in a great location.
One week stay for a pre Christmas family break. Arrived late in the evening and with the directions Nigel had given us it was easy to find the apartment and settle in very quickly. The apartment is very spacious, lots of lovely touches to make the stay special and Nigel and Rosie made us feel very welcome. The apartment is very central in Guia and even though it was their holidays, there were still a few restaurants very close by that were open, including a bakers that was open from early hours of the morning cooking fresh bread, cakes and pies. We were also fortunate to come across a little bar in the village that soon became our local. Having a hire car enabled us to visit nearby towns, beaches and attractions and in December the beaches in December are beautiful and quiet. We were very lucky to have found this apartment and my two boys ages 10 and 8 both thoroughly enjoyed their first visit to Portugal. My husband and I are hoping it won't be our last visit!.

Lovely apartment!!
Recently returned from our holiday in Portugal in this lovely apartment. It was perfect for our week's holiday - lovely accommodation and all the amenities you need to feel at home. We loved the fact that you could walk to Guia village within a couple of minutes for all the local restaurants and shops and it was a short car journey to the beach in Gale. Can't recommend highly enough!!

Perfect Modern Apartment
The apartment and the facilities are superb. Extra large terrace for sunbathing and the Gym and Indoor Swimming Pool are great in winter as well as summer. We stopped at this apartment at the end of December and had lovely weather but the heating in the apartment made it cosy in the evenings. This is the eighth time we have stopped in Guia and it is our favourite place to stay in the Algarve. The restaurants are great and the Algarve Shopping Centre is on your doorstep. Hope to return later in the year and stop in this fantastic apartment again.

One amazing apartment in Guia
This 2 bedroomed apartment is absolutely beautiful, homely and welcoming. The apartment was immaculately clean and was fully equipped with everything you would need. From the moment we booked this apartment we knew that everything would go exceptionally smoothly - which it did. The owners,Nigel and Rosie, ensured that all our requirements were met especially as we were travelling with our daughter who has special needs. The terrace/balcony is just amazing, lovely furniture and plenty of recliners ensuring that you enjoyed total relaxation and the beautiful weather. We wish to thank Nigel and Rosie for their excellent communication giving us valuable information regarding the many excellent restaurants in the area - please try Palladium and Atlantico, the local bakery which provides beautiful bread each morning and the cafes which are all very near to the apartment. We did not have a car but we befriended a local taxi person who took us everywhere and he was so helpful. Nigel and Rosie - we will be back - thanking you both for ensuring that we had a fabulous stay - The Murrays

Schöner Urlaub August 2024 in Guia
Wir habe unseren Aufenthalt in Guia bei Nigel sehr genossen. Die Wohnung war sehr groß und super gepflegt. Der Ort ist ein idealer Ausgangspunkt, wenn ein Mietwagen vorhanden ist, für alle Strände im Süden der Algarve sowie auch um in einer Stunde in den Bergen zu sein. Der Kontakt war sehr freundlich und alle Daten rund um die Wohnung standen uns pünktlich zur Verfügung. Alles in allem würden wir die Wohnung zu 100% weiterempfehlen.
