Great location!

Great property, great location. Terry, the property manager, was a tad rigid with the check in process. We called earlier to ask if we could check in early, and we told him that we would call again when we were an hour away. Sure enough, we ran into traffic, and we also decided to do a grocery shop before we arrived. We called and gave him an hours notice. He seemed fine on the phone, however when we arrived, he was upset that we didn’t arrive earlier as he had 3-4 other groups to check in that day. He was a bit curt, but it was smoothed over in the end. The owner asks that visitors dispose of garbage nightly, but did not provide garbage bags. We used the A/C sparingly so as to save energy where we could. We also kept windows and doors closed. We found ants in the master bedroom and silver fish in the kitchen and entrance area. We left the apartment spotless as we washed abs put away all dishes and swept the entire apartment. Thank you for sharing your place with us, Ray. It was spacious and the food recommendations were on point! We went to Praia Grande for dinner and the food was outstanding. The sangria was delicious! Thanks again.

Sao Rafael 3B

We couldn't have been happier with Ray's place. Two beaches within a very close walk (Praia Sao Rafael 7 min & Praia dos Arrifes 15 min) and they are very different. Grocery is close by via UBER at the Aldi or Lidl. If you want some really great options go to Apolonia in Gale. Their seafood and meat selection is outstanding. We really appreciated the Weber grill and full kitchen. The.pool area is great with a bar too! We've met some super people here at the complex. If you're in to it, there are pomegranate trees around the complex pick a couple they're really sweet. Really everything is in close proximity to 3B so you won't be disappointed. BTW if you're into tour we highly recommend the dolphin and caves boat tour... totally worth it!

Fantastic apartment in a quiet location

What a wonderful apartment! Well laid out, spacious and very comfortable. The bedrooms were large as was the lounge / dining area. There's a protected balcony off the lounge where we enjoyed breakfast every morning, a smaller balcony area off the kitchen to hang washing up or have a BBQ and slightly larger area at the front door to enjoy a sun-downer if you haven't had enough sun during the day! Special thanks to Richard for being so patient and friendly during our check in, especially with our young children, even after we were delayed 1.5 hours. I cant recommend this property enough, it really was great. We loved our time so much, we're already planning on coming back next year! Area: The area of Sao Rafael is small and secluded and as such there's only one little (expensive) shop to get your supplies. Do yourself a favour and go into Albufeira to do a big shop at the start of your stay. It's cheaper and the wine is better :) The beaches can get busy but the apartment was very quiet and peaceful. There are some lovely restaurants within easy walking distance and I can highly recommend both the Praia Grande and Murgem Sul. The restaurants at the beaches can be very pricey but the seafood was good quality and very fresh. Tip: Book a table for lunch when you arrive at the beach in the morning as they both fill up very quickly at lunch time.

Un appartement idéal pour des vacances au soleil

L'appartement est conforme à l'annonce, spacieux, lumineux, charmant, bien ventilé (important au vu des grosses chaleurs), avec un terrasse exposée idealement pour être protégé de la chaleur. Il comporte tout ce qu'il faut pour cuisiner. Sa localisation un peu en marge de l'espace piscine permet d'etre au calme tout en.profitant des infrastructures proposees. Espace psicine très sympathique. Nous recommandons vivement cet appartement pour des vacances dans l'Algarve, Albufeira etant de plus une petite ville tres agreable.

Ferienwohnung wie erwartet

Das Mietobjekt hat uns gut gefallen. Die Anlage ist im November sehr ruhig, abgesehen von sehr aktiven Gärtnern und Handwerkern. Die Wohnung im 2. Stock ist gut eingerichtet und sehr geräumig. Die Sofas sind etwas zu weich für ältere Rücken. Besonders gut ist die Küche, in der man prima kochen kann. Das Doppelbett ist etwas zu schmal. Queen- oder Kingssize wäre bestimmt bequemer. Deutsches TV kann man für 10 Euro monatlich kaufen. Der Verwalter Terry hatte uns lange vor Check in in das Appartement gelassen, da wir Nachtflug hatten. Das war sehr freundlich! Wir können die Wohnung sehr empfehlen.
