Excellent location and space in the Albufeira
Very handy, clean unit on main floor. Super close to the pool and parking. Lovely backyard patio with seating for 6 at the table, plus more on the patio. Walking to beach is easy on the road with a sidewalk - 6 minutes away to Sao Rafael beach. Kevin (the owner) was very responsive and easy to communicate with.

We absolutely loved our stay in Sao Rafael! Could come back any time! Beautiful and calm compound, relaxed and family friendly atmosphere by the pool, nice apartment +++. Just a 5 min walk from stunning Algarve beaches and Coast line. The whole family enjoyed the 10 days and want to go back 😎
Kitchen is well equiped and we coocked most our meals at home.

Apartment was lovely and clean, right beside the pool, pool area was lovely and relaxing, ideal for a family location. Pool bar is nice if you want something small to eat, the host was very easy deal with and responsive to any questions, highly recommend.
It is a 20 minute walk to the Marina all down hill and a big hill to walk back up, there are nice restaurants beside the apartment to eat.
The apartment is a great location for the beach a 2 minute walk, lovely beach.

Lovely family holiday
We have just got home from spending 10 days in Sao Rafael. The apartment met all of our needs. It was much more comfortable to have two bedrooms rather than pulling out a sofa bed for the kids each night as per previous package holidays. The kitchen and bathroom offer everything required, and it is so handy to be able to wash towels if you need or make lunch at home before heading back out to the pool.
Having the TV and internet was great too especially in the evenings with the kids.
The apartment is situated literally steps from the pool which is really nice. It is well managed so it is clean and great for families. There is a handy bar for drinks and food if you need it. In the other direction there is the beach. Also really nice and clean but can get busy and expensive to rent a sun bed with umbrella (18 euros). We bought a sun umbrella and left it in the apartment - much more reasonable. We would highly recommend doing the kayak tour from the beach.
The apartment is about a 20 min walk from the marina which has nice bars/restaurants and a Spar. The old town is a bit further and so we used the local taxi company which was so easy with their Taxi1 app. Taxi would arrive in minutes and it cost about 6 euros. We do think that hiring a car could be helpful, especially if you wish to explore the wider area.
Down by the beach there is a restaurant called Praia Grande. We went 3 times and always had a lovely meal, lovely service and a fantastic sunset view out to the Atlantic!
There is an Aldi and a Lidl in the old town and we would recommend going there to stock up. The local mini market was extortionate.
We would happily rent this apartment again and recommend it to friends/family.

Great Apartment
Great apartment, all we could need for a week away. The pool is really close by and setting is great with well cared for gardens. Good location for beaches and golf courses on the Algarve. Brilliant service from Kevin, key sent out to us with instructions how to get to the apartment, and how to use things inside (like TV, WiFi etc) then more information in welcome folder in the apartment.
Would highly recommend

Very spacious flat in a great location
The flat is very spacious, located in a perfect location just 500m from Sao Rafael beach. It also has a good equipped kitchen and all rooms are comfortable. The pool in the flat area is big and makes it a good alternative to the beach. Plus, there is a small bar in the pool area which is very much convenient.
During our stay we had one issue with the water drainage in the bathroom. The issue was quite unpleasant and could not be fixed while we were there.
Kevin was quite accessible since we booked the flat and also during our stay, trying to get the bathroom issue fixed.

Great location for excellent beaches.
Great location with two excellent beaches (with beach bars) & some very good restaurants nearby. Approx. 2 mile walk to the old town (watch out for the dogs near the marina!). Everything you need in the apartment for your stay and the complex has a great pool. A car may be useful, but not totally necessary as the area has a good taxi service. Avoid the local mini markets and make a point of hitting lidl (not walkable to, approx 3-4miles) early on in your stay. Very nice relaxing location for a holiday. Thanks Kevin.

Traumstrände in Fussdistanz
Wir waren in der Nebensaison in Albufeira und haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Die Wohnung gehört zu einer sehr schönen Ablage mit grossem Pool, was für die Kinder toll war. Die Möblierung ist alt, das macht auf den ersten Blick einen nicht so guten Eindruck. Aber davon sollte man sich nicht abschrecken lassen. Es hat in der Wohnung alles was man braucht, sogar ein paar Spielsachen für den Strand und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Da wir zu Fuss (zwischen 10 -30 Minuten) mehrere schöne Strände erreichen konnten und der Bus ins Zentrum regelmäßig fährt, haben wir gar kein Auto gemietet. Der Vermieter ist zudem sehr gut erreichbar, hilfsbereit und freundliche. Wir können die Wohnung sehr empfehlen.

Baratas
O condomínio é bastante simpático.
Bastante próximo das piscinas e todas as pessoas a trabalhar no condomínio são simpáticas bem como o proprietário.
O ponto negativo foram as várias baratas que encontramos no apartamento, que fez com que não pudéssemos desfrutar da nossa estadia como gostaríamos.
Obrigada
