We had an excellent stay! The hosts made everything super easy. Communication was impeccable. The apartment itself was immaculately clean and tidy. Laundry and a well appointed kitchen. It also had everything we needed for our week, from beach accessories to towels. Parking is plentiful. The communal pool was busy, but a great place to hang with a nice little snack bar with great sangria on tap. Given the opportunity, I would without a doubt stay again, or recommend whole heartedly.

Excellence in Albufeira

Anne & Tony were classified as "Premier Hosts". They were so kind, hospitable, and accommodating that we felt there should be another class of host above that! Where the other two stays that we had in Lisbon and Porto on this trip to Portugal, those units were run as a cut and dry impersonal service to generate an income. It was clear from the start that the Strouds are passionate about their service to generate goodwill. The entire stay was as pleasant as could be, and we very much appreciated their attentiveness and presence.their wonderful hosincome.

Perfect!

Our host Tony met us at our car with umbrellas due to the pouring rain. He took the time to heat up our apartment so that it was nice and warm for our arrival. The apartment was clean and comfortable with every amenity anyone could want. It was well very stocked. As well, the bed was very comfortable and quiet at night. I would highly recommend anyone to stay at Tony’s place. Thank you Tony for a such a pleasant stay!

Amazing views and location is perfect

I cannot say enough about the hosts, both Tony and Anne were excellent hosts. We had a chance to chat and get to know them a little bit. You are steps away from the most beautiful little beach down the road and you are also walking distance to a few more beaches. We walked to the Marina and visited the old town of Albufeira. Amazing week. The abode was lovely and well equipped. You will thoroughly enjoy your stay. Cheers Kyle and Nicole

Awesome accommodation! Walking distance from the beach. One of the best stocked units we’ve been to; beach towels, beach umbrellas, everything you need in the kitchen, TV with a bunch of channels (we watched some Tour se France). The hosts, Tony and Anne, were super friendly and very helpful. Gave us great tips on where to eat, and which beaches to visit. We’ll be back if we vacation in that area again!

Late summer holiday in lovely relaxing Sao Raphael apartment

My wife and I have been back just over 2 weeks having spent a lovely fortnight in Tony and Ann's spacious and warm 2 bed apartment. First off all I need to say what a fantastic pair of hosts Tony and Ann were from the moment we booked they provided assistance, arranging taxi for airport collection and drop off to showing us the local bars and restaurants and even ran us to Lidl to the supermarket. Our apartment was not ready as anticipated cleaner were still in due to our early flight so we changed in Tony and Ann's apartment where they provided us with beach towels before showing us to the community pool where we chilled for the 1st couple of hours and had a drink and bite to eat. Tony put our bags in the appartment then gave us a good show of the facitliites.We immediatley felt as if wed been there days and not hours so relaxed. The accommodation is nice and clean, there is plenty of cooking utensils, 2 fridges, dishwasher, microwave, the master bathroom has large walk insower, bidey , toilet annd washbasin and the second bathroom consists of shower, sink and toilet. The views are fantastic out to sea, local beaches within 5-15 minute walk away depends which way you walk, a number of bars and local restaurants within 10-15mins and Albufeira Marina with lots of restautaurants and a great coffee shop 20-30 mins walk about depending on fitness. Oh and boats trips galore which we definitely recommend to see the coastline. 5 stars from us.

We had an amazing stay at this property, and Tony and Anne were wonderful hosts. It was everything it was advertised as and more. Clean, spacious for the 2 couples, fully stocked, and incredibly located! Felt like we had our private beaches within a 2 minute walk, and the views from the cliff faces were incredible. Grocery shopping, centre of town, and walk to marina were all close. We will be back.

Nice view of the ocean and very close to a beautiful beach. Good source of information in the apartment for the surrounding area. Good communication with owner. Unit was comfortable and hosts were very friendly and overall the experience was good. Central location made day trips east and west very convenient. TV programming choices were very good but TV service was disappointing. Picture and sound would lock up 3-4 times per day. Wifi signal was very weak but worked with Apple products but not well the PC. Had to purchase a Wifi repeater to achieved acceptable PC results.

Very enjoyable month in Albufeira

We spent the month of January at Anne and Tony's appartment. It is a residential very peaceful and quiet development surrounded by gardens and walking path; the adress given was a unit number that could not be seen while driving. Tony was helpful in directing us by e-mail. The views from the 2 balconies are very nice and you can enjoy the cliffs just down the road. They live on the bottom unit and have been very attentive to our needs. They made suggestions for visits but also for groceries and restaurants as not all are open in January. Weekly housekeeping and 2 golf bags were a nice bonus for us. Although you can walk to the Marina and the old town (you need to be fairly fit), we used our rental car daily to visit the area and for grocery shopping. No close by shopping except for a convenience store at 500ft but it was closed in January. We truly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to recommend it.

Too short but sweet

We enjoyed a wonderful 5 days, my daughter and I, and wished it could have been longer. It is a beautiful apartment with lovely views and two balconies from which to look at the views. The photos don’t really do it justice. Anne and Tony were lovely hosts, friendly and helpful. The complex is peaceful and has a lovely pool which is a little distance away and which has a very good bar serving food and drinks. There are quite a few good restaurants in reasonable walking distance and we enjoyed some good meals. We didn’t have a car at our disposal so stayed very local. Didn’t venture out but just relaxed which what “was the doctor ordered”.😃 A really lovely break.

Great Place

Ease of booking and keeping in touch with Anne and Tony . Waking up to great views each morning and beautiful weather helps. Local beach Dos Arrefas is a hidden gem wth amazing and popular fish restaurant. Staff there excellent and beach beds excellent 15eur a day for two with umbrella Apartment itself very spacious and well equipped. Excellent showers in both bathrooms and all you need for holiday requirements. Short walk to communal pool, beds plentiful but need updating. Small pool bar great staff and drinks/snacks. Quiet community and easy to get into Albufeira Marina and main town cabs and Uber between 5-10 euros as hilly walks. Few great local restaurants and many to choose from in Old Town and Fisherman's Beach. We also did Tony's TukTuk tour and Mara Catamaran both excellent trips and great way to see area on land and sea Didn't hire car as needed relaxing holiday. All in all great time and would recommend and visit again Thanks Tony great meeting you too and being so helpful !
