This is an excellent property for friends sharing, two couples, or a family. The complex is very well designed and immaculatey maintained, with lovely pool and surrounds, a small children's payground, pool room and so on. The appartment intself was furnished to a very high standard with a full range of appliances which made eating in a pleasure,. Two spacious balconies meant sunshine all day. The beaches are within easy reach, 5 euros by taxi, as is the centre of Albufeira. There is a supermarket within an easy walk. Response: Thank you very much |
Guestbook for Solário de São José
"I'll start off by saying that the place we stayed was incredible and we would definitely consider returning. We especially enjoyed the tasteful decor and amenities that the apartment offered. I can you tell as a Canadian
that Portugal and specifically the Algarve does not receive the attention that they deserve. There is an untapped market and if Canadians begin to realize the affordiblility compared to Carribean locations there will be an explosion of attention, As for the apartment, it was equipped with everything we needed so I don't have anything to add from that standpoint. The bathroom was magnificent and just another part that stands out of the overall good taste that went into desiging it .

We had a superb holiday
We had a superb holiday in your beautiful apartment. The complex itaself is very stylish, and your apartment has proabably the best location. We much enjoyed the lovely pool, and the two balconies gave us all day sunshine if we didn't feel like venturing out. We foun the whole complex quiet, clean and it had everything we could need. Indeed we spent much longer in the compl.ex than we anticipated because it was just so pleasant and we enjoyed cooking an evening meal on two or three occasions: the kitchen was so well equipped with excellent appliances.
The apartment itself is luxurious and superbly well maintained .The rooms are spacious and well-designed, with immacualte furnishings You had left copious helpful information and we appreciated the cupborad full of games sports equipment though we didn't need any. I wouldn't hesitate to recomment the apartment : its perfect for two couples or a family.
Wet soon found that the taxis were very cheap and very reliable It was also handy having the supermarket so close by.
I have been recommending the apartment to friends and family. Just writing the review reminds me of what a perfect holiday it was.
