We stayed in Aug 2009 for two weeks with four kids from 9 years to 2 years and a heavily pregant Mum and had a great holiday. The apartments are basic/rustic but are... More

We stayed here for a fortnight in July, this being our second year to do so. I suppose that in itself says something. Location. It's a four minute lazy stroll to the beach in floppy sandals. A beach that can be incredibly underused at times. Albufeira an ex fishing village now a bustling resort town is an easy 20min away... More

The apartments are located in a quiet residential area in Sao Joao that also has a number of bars and restaurants close-by. There are at least five blocks in the complex, which are mostly perpendicular to a one-way... More

When searching for a holiday it is difficult to know which is best, but the other reviews were very helpful to make the decision. Comments that the rooms were old, I would call them more rustic, but a good size, and for the price you pay value for money. Even through it was 32c while we were there, we did... More
