About the home

The apartment complex is located on a hillside overlooking the Old Town of Albufeira and Fisherman's Beach. Situated on the top floor, two storeys above street level the apartment offers fantastic views towards Fishermans beach, harbour entrance to the Marina and the old town of Albufeira. With uninterrupted panoramic views to the ocean this is most desired apartment within the development.

The large L shaped balcony, which many guests have commented they have spent most of their holiday wining and dining upon, entertains you with the constantly changing marine and beach activity. The lounge area, like the outdoor terrace, is south facing with floor to ceiling patio windows offering the same panoramic views.

The complex itself incorporates a large outdoor swimming pool with poolside snack bar.

Only 5 minutes walk away you find yourself in the quaint Old Town of Albufeira with its restaurants, bars and refurbished Fishermans square offering full entertainment for adults and children alike. Car hire is not necessary as two large supermarkets are within 5 to 10 minutes walk and a smaller supermarket is within a 2-minutes stroll.

Salgados, Vilamoura, Pine Cliffs and Vila Sol golf courses are all within a 10- to 15 minute drive.

Visitors who have returned to this apartment year after year, comment “with the location and views from this apartment how could anyone be disappointed?”

The Algarve / Central Algarve region

The borough of Albufeira is considered the tourist capital of the Algarve and therefore receives considerable investment into improvements of its tourist facilities and infrastructure. A favourite destination for everyone because of its multiple attractions whether you want a quiet romantic meal, a lively night life or something for the whole family to enjoy.

Free entertainment is provided in the squares throughout the summer and the beautiful, award winning beaches offer para gliding, various water sports and tours of the coast line and caves. Put together with the varied golf courses, glorious countryside, water parks and many other outdoor pursuits on offer, this is a destination that can't fail to fulfil all of your holiday expectations.

The old town has been transformed into a virtually car free zone and is therefore pedestrian friendly and aptly suitable for families with small children. The local authorities are making the town into an all year round resort and promote many free concerts (often accompanied by fire work displays at midnight) and sporting events throughout the year.

The Algarve is blessed with a temperate climate, boasting in excess of 3000 hours of sunshine per year, and therefore lends itself to outdoor living, the numerous and varied beaches being considered some of the best in the world having received many awards for cleanliness and safety.

The Portuguese people, renowned for their friendly charm, hospitality and excellent cuisine are one of Europes' best hosts. Try their fresh, locally caught fish, Sardines being one of their specialities, or their typical Algarvian dishes such as steak on the stone. If chicken is your desire then a "MUST" is to go to the village of Guia, the chicken piri piri capital of the world, which is only a short taxi ride away.

The Albufeira / Central Albufeira area

The apartment complex is perfectly situated overlooking the Old Town area, so while it benefits from being away from the over-populated 'touristy' areas, it's still just a few minutes walk from the Old Town, which now has escalator access down to the fisherman’s beach and square, where regular free concerts are staged throughout the summer months. Concerts such as UB40, Cliff Richard and orchestral recitals can also be enjoyed sipping a cool evening drink from the balcony of the apartment.

The Albufeira marina is a 30-minute gentle stroll from the apartment where boat trips can be booked for visits to the coastal caves, deep-sea fishing, diving and snorkelling or a relaxing day long coastal boat trip with a BBQ lunch on a secluded beach. Concerts are also held at the marina during the high season.

For night life-seekers the famous Montechoro 'Strip' is a few Euros taxi ride away as are many famous golf courses, water slide parks and zoo marine which are also accessible by car, bus or taxi.
A tourist train also operates throughout the day and evening should you wish to explore the new town areas.

There's something to appeal to everyone, from the non stop night life found in the new town Strip, to the allure of relaxed alfresco dining overlooking the sea in the old town.

“god what a view” The apartment was of the highest standard it was clean, bright, well equiped with everything you would need, every room was well furnished and you felt so comfortable and relaxed This apartment is so hard to knock so we wont. If you ever have the pleasure of staying here and you know of a view to outdo this then please give me a call because this is amazing.

“Wonderful views” Large airy appartment. The balcony is the highlight, lovely views over the old town and sea. Five minute walk downhill into town but coming back up the hill in the August heat was hard work! Air conditioning in the appt would have been a bonus and maybe a welcome pack with basics like water, milk and bread would be a nice touch so you do not have to rush off out to the shops straight away. Overall though, a lovely well appointed appt and much nicer to be in the old town than the strip. Went home refreshed and relaxed!

Guestbook for Fishermans Beach Apartment

Hi Barry, Just wanted to drop you a quick line to say we arrived home safely and to say what a wonderful holiday we had. The apartment was truly spectacular and lived up to everything we hoped it would be. Thanks for the great communication regarding booking the accommodation and the airport transfers, all which added to it being the most wonderful stress free trip. Thanks again Barry and we hope to see you again in the future. Kind regards Sharon and Paul Jolliffe

We visit Portugal every year and stay for approximately 3 months at a time. We book this apartment a year in advance to ensure we have a home from home with a fantastic setting. We'll be coming for many years to come. Dexter and Shirley (Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada)

We were bowled over by the views from this apartment - the most perfect setting with everything within walking distance, we'll be back with our friends. Lucy Smallcombe (London, England)

You won't be disappointed, views fantastic, food and area great. Good for the kids too - loads of entertainment. Steven Ward (Wandsworth)
