The Algarve / Central Algarve region

The Algarve region is the southern most district of Portugal with sandy beaches and lovely friendly people. The climate is warm and sunny even in October and November with clear blue skies.

The area has many attractions that are easily accessable. These include good quality aqua parks, boat trips, go-karting, horse riding, para-sending.

Visiting the quaint Portuguese towns of Silves, Lagos and Taviera is recommended. Trips are also available to Gibraltar, Seville and Lisbon.

The Albufeira / Central Albufeira area

Within a minutes walk from the apartment, you will be enjoying the unspoilt sandy beach, where you can relax having a meal and a drink overlooking the sea at one of the beach bars.

The lively 'strip' is a 5 minute walk away where there are bars and eateries. For an authentic evening out the old town of albufeira has traditional Portuguese menus where fish dishes are a speciality. The 'Restaurant 54' is highly recommended where a 3 course meal costs 10 euros


Many local festivals throughout the year, a live band on the beach with spectacular firework display on New Years eve is an experience that will be long remembered.

“Excellent Apartment” We stayed for 6 nights at this apartment. Dave picked us up from the airport and right from the start was friendly and talkative. We arrived quite late and Theresa was there to meet us and as... more Response: Thank you Jane and Alex.

“what a fab time” Everything was as described. Theresa and Dave were great Appartment was spotless and had everything you needed even down to beach towels. Dave was on time to collect us from the airport and even called to say he knew our flight had been delayed and would be there to collect us when we landed. Theresa was there to meet us at the appartment and explained how everything worked. The bottle of milk, water and wine were very welcome. The location is amazing and is literally 2 minutes walk from the appartment, with a 20 minute walk to the old town along the beach. The strip is only 5 to 10 minutes walk. There are excellent views from the appartment and it gets plenty of sun on the balcony in September when we were there. The main supermarket is around 20 to 30 minutes walk away but there is always taxis around. There are smaller mini markets a few minutes walk away. We cooked in the appartment the whole time we were there and there is everything you need to hand. no need to go out unless you want to. Very relaxing holliday. All I can say is believe the excellent reviews, they are all true and I am looking forward to our return visit soon. Thank you Theresa and Dave Sue

“What can I say? Perfect sums it up.” This is the best apartment we have ever had the pleasure to stay in. Its a beautiful luxurious apartment with everything you could possibly need to make your holiday exceptional. Only a 2 minute walk to the beach, a 5 minute walk to the lively strip which is full of bars and restaurants, something to suit everyone. The old town is a 15 minute walk along the beach or a 20 minute walk by road. Alternatively you can get a taxi for 4 euros.It was great that Theresa was on site if we needed her for anything and Dave providing then airport transfers made our holiday absolutely fabulous. Will definately be back next year. Would highly recommend a stay at this apartment in the Quinta Da Barracuda.

“Ideal” Great location everything within walking distance,3 mins to the beach,3 mins to supermarket,5mins to the strip,20mins to the old town by road or along the beach, cafe/bar at the front of the premises. Apartment at the highest standard and very secure,very clean rooms and the kitchen was like new including the apliances. Perfect for a couple or 2 couples,plenty of room. All 4 of us honestly had no complaints

“Felt like home and we didn't want to leave” Theresa arranged 3 rooms for us including her own at the Barracuda, it was an easy booking from start to finish. She met us on arrival as promised. We all felt instantly at home in the apartments and really did not want to go home. Perfect size, great facilities, wonderful shower(best we've had on holiday). The pool area is fab, kids had a ball and we loved relaxing there. Great location for strip and local restaurants, longer walk to old town however taxi only 4 euros. Thank you Theresa for making this a wonderful experience and we hope to see you again.

“Great Apartment, Fabulous Location” The apartment was great, well equipped, beautifully furnished and immaculate. The location could not have been better, 5 minutes one way to shops, bars and restaurants and 5 minutes the other way to the beach. Even the walk to the OldTown only took about 20 minutes if you went across the beach. Would definitely like to return. Thank you Theresa for making our stay so good. Response: Thank you Suzanne for taking your time to respond with a fabulous review of my property. I really appreciate this and I hope I can accommodate you again for future holidays. Kind Regards Theresa & Dave

“Lovely apartment, everything you could need, and good location for the beach” We received a very smooth and efficient service from the owners throughout the booking process, airport transfers and stay. The apartment is ideally situated in a quiet complex away from the main areas of Albuferia but within easy reach if required; Only 5 minutes walk to 'the strip' and 20 minutes walk along the beach to the old town as stated in the blurb! The pool area is pleasant and an adequate beach is only a few minutes stroll away. The apartment itself was clean and spacious and equipped with everything you could possibly wish for. The children particularly liked the jacuzzi bath after coming in from the pool. The beds were comfortable, and if like us you are unlucky enough to get bad weather , there is an adequate supply of games, cards, DVDs and music. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending this apartment to others.

“Everything you could want!” As we visited this apartment in May it was relatively quiet which was what we wanted & most of the time we had the pool to ourselves, we were fortunate the weather was excellent. The apartment was of a high standard & had everything you might need, whether it was a relaxing bath at the end of the day with its jacuzzi or the dishwasher & washing machine. We had breakfast on the balcony at the begiining of the day & drinks at the end. It is in a quiet area but there are plenty of restaurants about a ten minute walk away & more nightlfe if you want it. The beach is only a few minutes walk away & a 20 minute walk along the sand takes you to the Old Town where there are a variety of restaurants & shops. We probably prefered the atmosphere there. Theresa the owner would always give helpful advice. We thorougly enjoyed our stay.

“Wonderful apartment, breathtaking views fantastic location and great owners” Spent 2 weeks at end of march until 12 th April and had a fantastic holiday. Theresa and Dave picked us up and dropped us back to the airport for a very reasonable price of 60 euros return and were absolutely helpful and cared for our every need. Wow what a fantastic apartment with breathtaking views. Location was 5 minutes from the strip and the beach bar to the right of the main gates was like paradise. Apartment facilities were amazing and we all miss the jaccuzi bath in our apartment and the tennis courts. Booked again for October and will now go every year. One down point was the weather was a little mixed but did not detract from our holiday. Thanks Theresa and dave Response: Thank you Mike and Elaine for a great review, very much appreciated, and look forward to seeing you again soon Regards Theresa and Dave

“Great Place To Spend The Winter” My husband and I recently returned from a 6 week stay at this excellent property. We have stayed in many holiday apartments over the years, and this is one of the best we have ever rented. It is extremely spacious, beaufifuly decorated, very clean and well equipped. Both Living Room and Bedroom open out to a very large balcony which has good views is ideal for open air dinning and also sunbathing (about 6 hours of sun a day in the winter) The Pool and Gardens are very well kept. The complex is located a 5 min walk to the beach a 10 min walk from the strip and only a 25 min walk to the old town of Albufeira. Everything you need for a great holiday but still in a quiet location. The added bonus was our helpful landlady Theresa was only a phone call away. I would definitely recommend a long term stay at this apartment.

“Great place for reasonable price” The apartment was exactly what we were looking for. Great location, the beach is literally 2min walk. There are a few nice cafes and restaurants in the neighbourhood area. The place is perfect for... more

“Light and bright with nice views” Loved it - very nice modern apartment with good modern furniture and all the bits and pieces you could need for a comfortable holiday. Great view from the large balcony across the pool area to lovely greenery of the nearby trees with the sea in middle distance. Only very slight downside is that its a taxi ride to the Old Town but these are not too bad at 4 or 5 euros - on the other hand the 'delights' of the strip are a 5 minute walk away! Would I stay here again if visiting Albufeira - most definitely!!

“Fantastic modern apartment with great views!” The apartment was fantastic, very modern, clean, light and spacious with all the mod cons. The pool area was great with brand new sun beds and there is a lovely view of the sea. The beach is only minutes away and is nice and sandy. The apartment is a 5 to 10 minute walk to the "strip" with numerous bars and restaurants, the only negative is the apartment isn't suitable for people with mobility problems as there is a bit of a hill to walk up to get to "the strip". The Old Town is about 20 minutes by foot but a taxi is only about 5 Euros. All in a great holiday in a lovely apartment which I would highly recommend!! The owners Thereasa and Dave are lovely and willing to help with anything and were only a phone call away.

“As a rental apartment having stayed in several, the accommodation, furnishings and position are unbeatable.” This is our 4th visit to this apartment and we are never disappointed. The view from the balcony is over the swimming pool ( which is never that busy!) to the sea in the near distance. The location... more
