Guest Comments: 'We had a great holiday, enjoyed touring the Algarve area. The apartment was beyond our expectations, the layout and size of the condo was great. The apartment felt like it was home with all the modern conveniences. It was enjoyable to lounge around and make use of the roof terrace. We found the location very central to all areas of the Algarve, we managed to visit most of the little towns within an hours drive each way. The weather was 25 and sunny every day so we had a great vacation.

A little gem
Our second stay in this property and, as before, we were not disappointed. Spotlessly clean, extremely well equipped and nicely furnished. The huge private roof terrace with spectacular views is wonderful. A car is required for trips to the coast or supermarket shopping but there are nice walks close by and a lovely local shop/cafe and we had some nice meals in the local restaurant.

A gem of a property
We had a fabulous stay at this property which has stunning views from it's fantastic private roof terrace. The location, in a residential area, was perfect for us. A car is essential for supermarket trips or sightseeing further afield. The apartment was extremely homely, very well equipped and spotlessly clean and communication with the owners and Suzanne who met us there was first class. We enjoyed walking around the local area and had some nice meals in the restaurant down the road. Ferragudo and Alvor are lovely places to visit in the area. We would highly recommend this property 🙂

The best vacation property we ever had
First of all, Lucinda is a wonderful, kind and caring person. We get all the information we need and we were even able to check in well before the official check-in time. Lucinda's place is a fully equipped, super comfortable apartment with a north-facing balcony and a south-facing terrace. the location is great too, quiet but close to Portimao and many beaches. If possible, we will definitely choose this apartment next time.

Spacious, comfortable apartment
This is a very comfortable, large, and sunny apartment that is well-equipped for a longer stay. The building itself is clean and quiet, as is the neighbourhood. It is well located to visit sites in the western / central Algarve, though a car is needed because few services are walkable. After many years visiting the Algarve, this is perhaps one of the nicest places where we have stayed.

Excellent stay in Lagoa
Lovely apartment with good views of the river and bridge, well equipped and large enough to comfortably take four adults. Found roof terrace just a little bit too breezy but then again it was March so this is not unexpected. The weather was excellent for March approx 21 degrees on average so was not in the apartment a great deal as it was perfect weather for walking and getting around to see the various local sights. Two nearby restaurants within walking distance were used on several occasions both served good food, but we preferred the Casa do Pasto Calvario restaurant which was the closest and also the cheapest with the biggest portions for food wine and beer. Lucy was very good with information and Suzanne was also very helpful as we arrived at the apartment slightly early. Would be happy to go back at another time.

Algarve/Estombar - Eine tolle Wohnung und Standort
Ich kann die Wohnung wärmstens empfehlen. Eine große, gut ausgerüstete und komfortable Wohnung. Der Standort ist super, da man unweit der Schnellstraße und Autobahn ist. Somit der Nachteil, dass bei offenen Fenster mittelmäßiger Lärm hereindringt. Sind die großen Fensterglasschiebetüren zu, ist kein Lärm zu hören. Noch zu erwähnen die tolle und große Dachterasse und dazu noch 2 Balkons. Und was mir positiv aufgefallen ist, gegen über anderen Ferienwohnungen, die gut bestückten Haushaltswaren und das vorhandensein von Gewürzen, Putzmittel, etc.

Appartement très agréable
Nous avons passé une très bonne semaine de vacance dans l'appartement. Celui-ci est vraiment très agréable, malheureusement la situation est bruyante (route et chiens), nous qui habitons en pleine campagne, sans bruit, nous avons trouvé ça gênant. Reste que l'appartement est vraiment très bien, propre, fonctionnel, ... Nous recommandons sans soucis.

Schöne Wohnung um die Algarve zu entdecken
Die Wohnung ist ein toller Ausgangspunkt, um die Felsalgarve zu entdecken. Die Wohnung bietet alles, was man sich für einen mehrwöchigen Aufenthalt wünscht. Große Pluspunkte sind die Klimaanlage, die bei hohen Außentemperaturen auch abends uns die Nacht gerettet hat und die große Wohnfläche, wie auch die tolle Dachterasse. Etwas negativ ist, dass die Einrichtung schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen ist und es hier und da etwas sauberer hätte sein könnte. Wer gerne Fernsehen möchte und zahlreiche Deutsche Sender erwartet, sucht vergebens. Es gibt nur einen deutschen Sender (DW-TV).
