Fortaleza 28 - Beachfront Penthouse with Fantastic Sea View and Large Terrace

Fully enjoyed our stay at this apartment. Felt slightly dated but the location was great and more than made up for this.

Excellent location with a great beach across the road. Lovely restaurants within walking distance. Great terrace in appartment Difficultly with adress for return transfer that went to a different appartment location so had to get another taxi that cost us a extra 80 euros

Nice 6th floor apartment very close to beach and all amenities, ..Sun terrace was a nice feature. Would definitely visit again. Resort is friendly and quiet with a fabulous beach.. lots of local restaurants and supermarkets within easy walking distance.

We spent fantastic three weeks enjoying beach, sun, great food and fiesta atmosphere. Apartment is just 100 m from the beach with unbelievable ocean view. Apartment has everything you can just imagine for a great time. Centrally located to shops and very good fish and farm market. Actually there is no need to have a car, but private parking is a great plus. There are a lot of interesting places around worth visiting. We are very thankful to Filipe for a chance to stay in his apartment.

This is the ideal apartment for a stay in Armação de Pêra. The apartment is comfortable, spacious and has everything that you could need. Even a shopping trolly, which is very useful, particularly for carrying water. The terrace/balcony is large enough for a table to seat four and allows for unoverlooked sunbathing all day as it is south facing. The sun loungers are solid adjustable plastic with cushions and towels provided. The view is even better than expected. The location is two minutes from the amazing beach which is clean, sandy and has either sun loungers/shades for hire or plenty of space to set up your own. A variety of restaurants are available starting outside the building entrance and extending throughout the resort. There are small supermarkets within five minute walk and a Lidol about 15 mins walk. We never met the host but he was very accommodating in ensuring we had everything we needed and always responded quickly and clearly to any messages. In summary, a perfect apartment in a lovely family oriented resort.

Fantastic accommodation. Quiet, cozy and right on the beach. More of an adult community/village. Very peaceful. Plenty of services within walking distance. Our first time using VBRO and all worked out as it was supposed..

Location could not be beat. Great outdoor space that gave spectacular views of the beach in 3 directions. Lots of restaurants within short walking distances. Larger grocery stores within 15 min walk; smaller stores 5-10 minutes away. Apartment had everything that we needed. Owner easily reachable and responded quickly when we had an issue with the hydro upon checkin, resolving the matter quickly. Would like to return again.

The million dollar view says it all! Nothing else matters. Will be looking for this property upon our return next year!

The view from the big balcony is wonderful! The apartment is clean and there are a lot of useful things, e.g. a trolley for shopping/ going to the beach, a beach umbrella and a fully equipped kitchen. But I think the apartment could use a little love here and there. The lights in the bedroom are very bright, here and there are some cracks in the wallpaper and one lounge chair broke down when I sat on it (could be fixed, screw was a little loose). One important thing why I would not come again: On the Saturday we came and the following Thursday, in a distance of no more than 30 meters there was a big (official) party at the square. It went on until 2 o'clock in the morning. In addition to that a new rooftop bar, also 30 meters away, opened. EVERY NIGHT they play loud house music starting at 6 in the evening until 1 o'clock in the morning. It is impossible to sleep even if the windows are closed. Something has to be done about that situation.

We stayed 12 days in February 2023. The balcony from this penthouse is by far the BEST in the city. To get an unobstructed view from one end of the beach to the other allows for the most beautiful sunrise and sunsets as well as watching the activity below. We always felt very safe and the city was not crowded this time of year. The photos and description were 100% spot on. The building is very modern with good, clean elevators and marble floors. The location is amazing due to the proximity of so many restaurants, coffee shops, farmers market, etc. as well as being so close to the beach and promenade. The penthouse was very clean and comfortable; perfect for the two of us. We took daily walks (sometimes several walks a day) – we did not feel the need to rent a car. During our walks, we always noticed new things and beautiful architecture in and around the city. Three large grocery stores are within easy walking distance with a few convenience stores located within a block or two. Everything you need to make your own meals and enjoy them is included. We found it fun to figure out how to use certain appliances that weren’t labeled in English, like the stove, oven and washing machine. Based on the length of our stay, we had a complementary cleaning service come mid-stay which was a nice touch. Wi-Fi was excellent. The only thing that would have been nice is to have two keys instead of one but we could have kept it in the lockbox. Highly recommend!
