“Beautiful accommadation” Lovely apartment. Huge space! Bedrooms fantastic. 2 showers a blessing for the girls! Best place ee have stayed in by a mile. Lovely pool and family atmosphere. Hilly walk back home every evening but no problem. Kept is fit! Home inless than 10 mins from Old Town Square. Would recommend this highly. Thank you.

“Wonderful Holiday” We had a really enjoyable holiday in Villa Francesca in June 2011. The beautiful villa, the garden/pool and the tennis courts next door were all ideal for our group which included our adult children and small grandchildren. The owners were kind enough to put childproof fencing on the upstairs balcony and this, together with a gate for the stairs in the villa gave us great peace of mind during our holiday. We played some golf on the nearby courses and the charming village of Carvoiero with plenty of excellent restaurants was just a few kilometres away. We would heartily recommend Villa Francesca to any family group and we hope to stay there again in the future.

“Amazing Villa” We loved Casa Elli which has been thoroughly and thoughtfully renovated by Dympna and Brian. It has all the modern appliances/tech that most of us have come to enjoy/expect so it creates a real luxury home from home feeling. The bedrooms are all of a really good size and each have an en suite so it works well for groups of family and friends. The pool is a good size for younger kids and can be heated. The glass balustrade and gate mean it is safe to be around with smaller children. The kitchen is well equipped including a wine fridge! In and out dining options mean you can enjoy lots of eating options. The garden is beautiful and looks over the golf course. There is a lovely roof terrace with more loungers and chairs and tables. The location is very quiet but close enough to walk to the marina in about 10-15 mins. If you have younger kids or elder members of the group it can take a bit longer but there is a useful route (along centre of Joao Meirelles) that has been pedestrianised which helps ease any stress away from navigating main roads. For the first time abroad we didn’t hire a car and that was a real plus because not only is it really easy to arrange a transfer (via Yellow Fish) which removes stress of hiring car and driving abroad but it also allowed you to really enjoy the local area. The marina is really nice with lots of great restaurants and Falesia beach is one of the best we have been too. All in all we had a really fantastic time and hope we can return to Vilamoura and Casa Elli.

“Villa Casa Paradiso in paradise” Stayed in June for two weeks, we really fell in love with the villa everything you require,very clean with two bedrooms. First bedroom very large with ensuite and a balcony the second with a very private roof terrace full sun all day, fantastic. The pool was shared with six other villas, we had it to ourselves for the whole two weeks Mellisa was great to deal with nothing was too much trouble every thing was well prepared she arranged transport from the airport to the villa and back, met by Kevin very impressed. The beach and old town 15 minutes very relaxing walk. The supermarket 5 minutes down the road with a good selection of food the staff were very helpful. Lidl only 15 minutes walk away. Albufeira is a beautiful place with a beautiful beach, the old town is really nice there is a wonderful atmosphere around the square every night. Overall we would highly recommend this villa and the surrounding area very relaxing and beautiful. Villa Casa Paradiso in Paradise,thanks for a lovely holiday Mellisa we will be back!

“Great location” Our second time here and just as good. Great apartment, well maintained and roomy. Everything you could need at your doorstep and just a short walk into the old town Albufeira . Best of both worlds. Rui and the team are great . At the end of a phone if you need them and more than helpfully. Can’t recommend this apartment enough , you won’t be disapointed.

“Wedding anniversary” What a beautiful apartment fantastic views clean apartment everything we could of wished for for our wedding anniversary would definitely recommend to family and friends would like to thank gorge who picked us up from airport lovely guy Esmeralda the housekeeper met us and showed us round when we arrive added bonus beers wine and water on arrival thanks again Magnus x

“Fabulous apartment” We are just back from a wonderful week staying in this apartment. It is truely excellent - a real home from home with everything provided including fabulous views. The location is perfect and the pool although it looks small on the photos is a great size. We stayed with our two young boys and they had a whale of a time. The apartment was spotlessly clean, the beds were comfortable including the sofa bed. Shops, pubs, restaurants, the beach, the harbour, the supermarket were all closeby. It was easy to book and the lady was waiting for us with the keys when we arrived. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Thanks again Joao. Jacqui agennis, NI

“was perfect last year and pefect again this year” just returned two days ago from another brilliant week at Fishermans Beach Apartment overlooking the old town in Albufeira. Came back for the second time to bring friends who do not holiday abroad. We had a wicked time, was a bit chilly in the evenings but we went at the start of the season so that serves us right, however our temperature gauge was reading 41 on two of the days and all the days were really hot. The apartment had all been upgraded since our last visit, a really lovely fitted kitchen and a new shower cubicle in the bathroom - a nice surprise as we were not told it had been upgraded. Everything you could want in an apartment, full cooker fridge freezer washing machine tv....... not that we used the cooker or washing machine - well after all it was my holiday too! ten minute gentle downhill stroll to all the restaurants and nightlife and 4euros for a cab back up as we were too full up (or drunk) to walk it. As usual from making the enquiry in February and paying the deposit everything was so simple, Phillipa is great, arranges the pick up and drop offs, the keys and instructions, the lot. Barry and Irene are lovely,and do all they can to make your stay perfect, we never had to call him but we knew if there was a problem he would be there to sort it, For a first visit a week is not long enough, not sure it was long enough for a second visit either come to that. Thank you all.

“'Awesome Birthday Present'” We took our grandaughter for a weeks holiday as her 10th birthday present. Couldn't find an ideal venue with any of the large travel companies, who all wanted to charge me for 2 individual apartments, since I wanted 2 bedrooms, So we booked the apartment and flights seperately. Everything was great. The location and the apartment itself was ideal. Very close to the beach, once we found the shortcut, with a bakery, supermarket and excellent restaurant just round the corner. Main bus route to Albufiera or Vilamoura at the end of the road. Lovely pool and very well appointed apartment. Just remember that to pay anyone in Southern Ireland it needs to be in Euros, which isn't a problem, but came as a surprise.

“Great apartment Albuferia” Just back from a week in Albuferia. We stayed in a beautiful spacious apartment well equipped kitchen and plenty of room. Marta a very nice lady met us on arrival , She showed us around the apt , how to use air con , tv remote s etc . Also valuable information on local places of interest restaurants, beaches etc .Marta booked taxis etc she couldn't have been more helpful. The pool are was very pretty lots of flowers and shrubs . Best of all plenty of sun beds . If I had young children I would request a ground floor apartment for easy access to the pool area ,as keys were required to come and go . The area was quiet but just 10 mins from the busy strip full of bars and restaurants, this suited my kids 17to 23 yrs. The beaches are beautiful 15/20 min walk which we enjoyed as lots of shops and interests along the way . A taxi was required to go to old town approx 3/4 miles Overall a very enjoyable holiday.

“Relaxing break” Just finishing up another great 10 days in this super apartment. Holidayed here before and loved it so was looking forward to returning. Definitely a home from home . The owners are constantly improving the apartment. Beds are very comfortable. Tv has all the channels . The complex is nice and quiet. It was a great relaxing break . Hopefully will return again at some stage . Carol M

“Excellent accommodation, family friendly in a great location.” We arrived at 9.30pm and were met by Fiona, the owner's representative, who was very helpful. The ground floor accommodation has three bedrooms, two bathrooms (one on-suite), a lounge, kitchen area (including all mod-cons) and a very large outside patio area which was great for our two grandchildren, especially as it was shaded from the late afternoon sun. There is a shared pool area (electronic/fob access only) only a short walk away which was excellent and well maintained. There is a magnificent beach 5-10 minute walk. We only had one problem in that the aircon in the master bedroom was not working and could not be fixed within the 7 days we were in the apartment. This was a little disappointing but did not stop the enjoyment of the holiday.
