"Great location in a very comfortable apartment!"

Liked

The location was ideal for accessing the old town of Olhao as well as restaurants and the marina. The bed was very comfortable & the shower was excellent with plenty of hot water & water pressure. Access to streaming services was really appreciated. Since we visited in February, we were thankful for the comfort of the heating system. Although we had a minor issue with plumbing as well as a major issue with the refrigerator, both issues were handled immediately and the staff were very professional. Communication with Pedro over our stay was excellent.

Disliked

This is not really a complaint but since it was very cool in February, we would have appreciated a few small throws (blankets) for the coach. Although the condo has minimal furnishings (set up for rental), it has everything that is needed for a short or long stay in Olhao.

"Excellent would definitely return"

Liked

Location/very quiet/well equipped kitchen cutlery & crockery/ very clean/ overlooking garden The fact it was so quiet is exactly what we look for The management company were excellent nothing was too much trouble and they answered any queries straight away

Disliked

The apartment was a little sparse/ clinical but this is not a criticism but personal choice a few more wall prints and furniture but essentially a full length mirror I think would give a more appealing/ homely atmosphere

"A relaxing stay"

Translated from German

Liked

Modern, spacious apartment in a central yet quiet location within a large, new residential complex. Great kitchen! Dish soap, laundry detergent, and dishwasher cleaner were provided. Also included were tea, coffee (Nespresso), salt, pepper, vinegar, and oil. Plenty of towels were available, including some for the pool. Everything was very clean. Access was very easy with the code. The landlord was flexible with check-in and check-out times.

"Great place to stay - would recommend"

Liked

Helpful and responsive staff: César and Pedro were always here to help. Friendly staff at the swimming pools. Location: closed to bars and restaurants, very safe with the police station next to it. Quiet and safe city overall. Night life is fairly quiet to say the least but we did not mind. Facilty: has everything you can hope for. Lovely beaches accessible by ferry (Culatra, Armona, Ferrol) Close to Faro and airport

Disliked

A rolling sun shade would have been welcome on the balcony. 2 proper bedrooms (1 being very small with bunked beds)
