Sao Rafael Beach Resort, Nr Albufeira, Central Algarve. Sleeps 4 + child in cot.

Great sized apartment with lovely outside space. Well equipped apartment. Excellent communication with Angela throughout the process. The pool area is great, and a short walk from the apartment. There are restaurants in walking distance, but we ended up getting a uber to other places as it is a bit limited in the immediate area. Uber service was good, for those without a car.

The two-bedroom apartment is located in an open-plan apartment complex with public parking. The apartment itself was very clean and tidy. The balcony is a decent size, although you can only guess at the view rather than really enjoy it. For us, this was not a sea view apartment! The balcony was also missing a grill. The kitchen is well-equipped with some drawbacks. In addition to the kitchen refrigerator, there is a large refrigerator in the utility room and a washing machine, which takes some getting used to. The large sofa is a bit worn, but above all, it smells very unpleasant of old sweat. This also applies to the sofa cushions. The beds are okay, although the master bed is definitely too narrow for two people. The bathrooms are relatively new and nice and bright with windows. However, and this is the NO-GO: The odor trap doesn't work!!! This means that the entire apartment smells like a toilet. This isn't the fault of the apartment complex; rather, a mistake must have been made during the bathroom renovation that the wastewater traps weren't installed professionally. When our contact person, Terry, showed us several 5-liter containers of bleach after our call, it was clear to us that this problem was known and hadn't been remedied; unfortunately, it had been kept secret. If we had known about the defect, we would not have rented the apartment!

Fantastic apartment with all appliances you could possibly wish for - absolutely no issues! Has access to a lovely pool, 2 beaches and beautiful views from the balconies! Couldn't fault communication with the owner and property manager in Albufeira - so so helpful at every stage!!

Nicely equipped, comfortable apartment in a great location.

We are a couple in our late sixties and have just returned from a relaxing stay in this spacious, comfortable apartment. We did not hire a car but found that most places were within easy walking distance, including the pool, the beach, several bars and restaurants. We used the local bus to Albufeira to do a large shop at Il Continente supermarket. There is a taxi stand directly outside which cost 11 euros back to the apartment. Our contact Terry was at the apartment to meet & greet us and show us how everything worked. He dealt with a query about the tv straight away and ensured our bedding/towels were changed mid stay. Everything in the apartment is as shown or described and everything works, including cooker, dishwasher, aircon etc. Although close to all amenities, the apartment is set in lovely grounds and we found it very quiet and peaceful.

Fantastic, spacious apartment. Really clean and tidy. Perfect for what we needed. Ideal location only a short walk from the beach and the pool area. Highly recommend.

Just returned from a lovely break at this apartment. Everything you need for your holiday is provided, beach towels, parasol, cool box. Communication with the owner was excellent, especially when we needed some help with a medical issue while we were here. We made good use of Uber, especially for food shopping. Would possibly hire a car next time, just for convenience. Wonderful place to stay.

Enjoyed our stay. Very well equipped apartment. Thanks Terry for checking us in and communication with Angela very good

This top floor apartment is situated in lovely gardens in an ideal location. The apartment is nicely equipped and very comfortable.

This was ours 3 rd visit to Portugal, and 2nd stay at Angela's property. The property is in an ideal location, within few min walk to 2 beautiful beaches. The unit is as described and as shown on the pictures. It is very spacious, has 2 decks with water views and your own, private entrance. It is in very quiet area, surrounded by gardens. There is lots of free parking around. Angela is great to deal with, quick to respond and accommodating. Check in / check out very simple and friendly. Unit is located close to the small market and few nice restaurants, but rental car gives you way more options. We would not stay anywhere else in Algarve. Thank you Angela.
