Convenient and well centred ❤️ Spacious and comfortable
Everything was good, maybe the host could have put some water in the fridge?
Logement très confortable. Terrasse vue mer exceptionnelle. Personnel très serviable et disponible. La piscine vue mer est très agréable
posizione eccezionale ,due passi e sei in spiaggia ,c'è un tutto quello che serve,in 10 minuti si arriva ad Albufeira .
Nulla,se posso dire,per noi italiani,i bar la mattina aprono forse un po' tardi,ma si é in vacanza e va bene così .
La terraza estaba orientada al mar, no puedo poner ningún pero. Zona súper tranquila, el apartamento muy cómodo, espacioso, limpio…
Por decir algo, es que se nos cayó un vaso con líquido y no teníamos ninguna fregona para recoger. Tuvimos que hacer uso de la toalla del suelo del baño y tuvimos que ponerla para que la retirasen al día siguiente. Nos sabía mal dejar el apartamento sucio.
A localização a piscina e os apartamentos muito espaço
O ar da sala não funcionava mais arranjaram solução
Nos encantó ! Muy limpio y pegado a la playa, tienes todos los servicios básicos justo al lado, tiendas, cafeterías, restaurantes y parking que para nosotros era muy importante. Volveremos
Monolocale situato a 50 metri dalla spiaggia Praia de Oura, e soprattutto il parcheggio riservato vicino all’abitazione,vicino a supermercato e ristoranti
Non saprei
Apartamentos grande y con todas las comodidades
Por decir algo ,q no tuviera tendedero
Proximidade à praia, simpatia da senhora da receção.
Nada.
La proximité de la plage, la vue, la literie.
La propreté, les équipements au niveau de la cuisine, sdb
El personal..la ubicación en general y todo en concreto a sido una de mis mejores vacaciones 👌😎gracias repetiremos
My apartments was overlooking the sea clean and spacious
Nothing
Si era grande y comoda.
Que había mucho ruido de noche, gente ebria por la calle gritando toda la noche, muy difícil poder descansar bien.
Localização Estacionamento Água da piscina quente Varanda com vista para o mar
Poucas cadeiras na piscina e muitas já ocupadas apenas com toalhas
Buenos dias Nos gustó mucho la ubicación del apartamento y el servicio de recepción, en especial la Sra Maria,muy amable e involucrada en su trabajo,nos ayudo en todo momento. Tenemos que darla un 10 en su profesionalidad
El lugar es bonito pero para familias desde mi punto de vista no es lo mejor ya que hay mucha juerga nocturna y hay poca tranquilidad También nosotros que fuimos con mascota, es poco amigable el lugar.
La ubicación y facilidades
Mucho ruido de los vecinos en ambiente de fiesta
Ubicación y tamaño
Nos gustó todo en general. El personal encantador y las vistas maravillosas. El sitio tiene mil opciones. Sin duda repetiremos!!😃
Nos gustó todo.
Très bien, joli, spacieux et cuisine bien équipée.
Absence de ventilation dans l'appartement et il manquait un étendoir pour le linge et serviettes.
EN GENERAL TIDO MUY BIEN, TANTO EL TRATO DEL PERSINAL COMO EL LUGAR Y EL ESTUDIO
Great location. So near beach Would be a great location for families with kids. Appartment was fully equipped, Air con excellent. Would return again!!
Great location Comfortable Pool really deep
Nothing
Ubicación muy cercana a la playa y a la calle de vida nocturna en Albufeira
No es un apartamento. Es como un garaje alargado, sin habitaciones, en el que se han instalado el baño, la cocina y la cama. Carece de luz exterior, la única que entra es a través de la puerta de entrada y por tanto, cuando está cerrada, es como un zulo. Fuerte olor a humedad.
O sitio é excelente mesmo perto da praia e de zonas de restauração.
Achei que o estúdio em si tem pouca loiça para quem queira fazer umas refeições por lá,o meu tinha 2 garfos,2 facas,2 colheres Na zona da piscina acho que deveria haver mais controle por parte dos funcionários a nível de espreguiçadeiras porque á pessoas que vão demanha cedo guardar cadeiras depois abalam e as cadeiras ficam ocupadas com algo a manha inteira ou a tarde ate que eles se lembrem de voltar passei lá 2 manhã e 1 tarde e havia cadeiras com a toalha e as pessoas nada delas e nao me estou a referir a 2 ou 3 cadeiras assim refiro me a bem mais e eu tive de colocar a minha toalha no chao e me deitar no chao que nem relva é para amolecer mais o corpo.
Perto da praia. Ótima localização. Limpo e espaçoso.
Algumas escadas- a ter em atenção para pessoas com baixa mobilidade.
It was clean and staff where very helpful
Nothing
La ubicación está frente a la playa
Kuisploeg kuiste niet goed.
Location was perfect and Maria the receptionist was so helpful. Would recommend 100%%%
Nothing
Absolutely everything 🫶🏻 perfect location, perfect apartment, staff so helpful and friendly pool was spotless -we will be back with the rest of the family
No lifts 🫠🤣but wasn’t that bad tbh
La ubicación frente a la playa excelente,vistas al mar ,una terraza grande , apartamento muy cómodo,cocina suficiente para comer algún día en el ,el parking gratis ,al lado de restaurantes,bares , supermercado y solo con subir una cuesta estabas en todo el ambiente,apartamento cómodo y limpio ,el personal eran muy majos sin duda volveremos
Algunos pequeños desperfectos en el apartamento,la manilla de la puerta del WC se caía constantemente,la puerta del armario de la cocina estaba descolgada ,la colcha tenía una mancha ,nada que no se pueda subsanar,la piscina estaba en el edificio de al lado,para llegar al apartamento hay dos tramos de escaleras que llevábamos una maleta grande y nos costó un poco subirla y bajarla
La ubicación.
El fuerte ruido a altas horas de la noche.
All really it was so good
The staff they speak so bad to client but its okay we just skip them
La ubicación, la limpieza, el trato de la recepcionista. Todo
No puedo decir nada malo del establecimiento, es la segunda vez que lo visitó. Encantada.
Cercanía a la playa
Lleno de niñatos, muy molestos, todas las noches molestan de borrachera
L’accueil et la disponibilité du personnel et les conseils
Un peu bruyant le dernier soir
Todo en general,las personas muy amables,ya limpieza y ubicación para la playa,la gastronomía muy rica ,
Nada
God lokalition, tæt på strand, pool med udsigt til vand, god udsigt og dejlig balkon
Der var en rigtig dårlig lugt ude på toilet
Thank for wounderful stay and for help :)
The staff, the pool, the balcony and view, the apartment was so clean and spacious.
Nothing :)
Está muy bien ubicado y María de la recepción es una chica muy simpática. Repetiremos.
Muy bien todo en general.
We had a wonderful stay at this apartment. Everything was excellent, and the apartment was very clean and well maintained. The view from the veranda is absolutely amazing, especially during sunset. There is a comfortable outdoor seating area for four people, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy the sea view. The apartment is well equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen has plenty of utensils and all the essentials required to prepare meals. The dining area is spacious, and the room is large enough to comfortably accommodate four people. Overall, it is a beautiful, well-equipped apartment with stunning views, and we would happily stay here again. Highly recommended!
L’emplacement face à la mer à 500 m de la Plage des Restaurant, tout le long. Très bon séjour dans ce studio, bien aménagé avec terrasse.
Absolutely loved everything, 😍 appartments are clean and location is great,would highly recommend!!! Would definitely come back here again! Thank you
The location was perfect. Also very clean.
You can hear every movement in the apartment above.
Era muy espaciosa y la ubicación estaba muy bien. María la recepcionista muy amable y cordial.
Lo único a resaltar es la ducha, se tapaba y se rebalsaba hacia afuera
L’emplacement, les commerces de proximité, le Service, la plage au pied du logement
El personal,el apartamento,las instalaciones y piscina,y la ubicación geniales,
Imposible dormir ni descansar por la fiesta continua
The location and the size of the apartment
Smellt bad sometimes
Proximité avec la plage
Un peu bruyant
A spacious apartement with a terrace, beautiful view, shops and restaurants nearby, swimming pool, cleaning service
Pulita grande la vista la posizione
Il rumore durante la notte
Very nice rooms to stay with sea view balconies. Kitchen is well equipped. Next to the beach and 5 mins walk to food street. Parking is nearby. I must recommend this. Staffs are friendly and they cleaned the room each day. The rooms are very big.
Nothing that I can think of
Ruim appartement met terras en heerlijke douche. Toen wij niet geslapen hadden vanwege de jongeren boven ons, die van ‘s avonds tot ‘s ochtends vroeg de tent afbraken, zijn ze meteen gaan controleren en zijn ze om heel goede redenen eruit gezet. Er werd dus meteen serieus gehandeld. Dat was top!
Voor ons, 2 moeders met dochters van net 16, die nog niet uitgaan,was de locatie wat nachten betreft totaal verkeerd gekozen. Verder kan je niet het appartement doorluchten, dus wij sliepen met de schuifdeur open en de buitenste deur dicht.
La gentillesse et l'amabilité de la réceptionniste (Marie). La proximité et la vue sur la mer. La propreté et la grandeur de l'appartement.
Environnement bruyant jusque tard dans la nuit, dû aux nombreux bars, restaurants, activités foraines et autres hôtels à proximités.Ne correspond pas à quelqu'un qui recherche le calme mais idéal pour les fêtards.
Personal sehr freundlich!
In der Nacht zu laut. Der Ort ist voll mit Jungen Engländer die sich gerne betrinken, ist auch ok, aber die Nacht wird zum Tag, wenn diese Personen wieder in der Unterkunft zurück sind. Für Familien mit Kinder leider zu laut.
Location was perfect. Beach shops/restaurants on our doorstep. Apartment was lovely. Very spacious and clean and beds were super comfortable
Nothing
ótima localização ao pé da praia, studio com espaço mto bom para duas pessoas. aceitam animais e foram muito simpáticos sempre, a repetir
Le logement était très spacieux , une vue magnifique sur la mer !
Rien, tout était parfait
The room wasnt clean. The drain was not draining well from the closet and basin. The beds had some stains on it, we found broken particles from bedsheets.
The location is perfect - right on the beach with all the restaurants, 5 minutes walk to the strip and a 10 minute drive away from Old Town. The pool is huge and clean. The view from our balcony of the sea was gorgeous. The staff are super friendly too :)
Staff ie. Receptionist was so friendly
Bel espace de vie
Toute petite cafetière filtre avec café instantané en sachet .
La gentilezza della signora alla reception, la piscina, la stanza in generale e la posizione.
Abbiamo trovato delle unghie sotto il letto e non è stato il massimo
Groot appartement, gezellig ingericht, rustig ondanks de drukke omgeving
Als je luide buren hebt hoor je dat allemaal
Appartement magnifique Calme Accueil parfait
Nous avons apprécié l'emplacement en Mai. Très proche de la plage, un petit centre commercial dans l'établissement où on trouve notre bonheur (pharmacie, vêtements, boulangerie, snacks, bars, souvenirs, 2 supérettes très bien achalandées😀, Service hôtelier: nettoyage, changement serviettes de bain, draps de lits réguliers. Bars et restaurants à proximité. TOUT (!) était parfait🤩🥰! Éloigné du strip (discothèques), endroit très calme où on apprécie le bruit des vagues😀. Nous y retournerons, c'est sûr!!! Merci au personnel pour leur bienveillance, leur sympathie🥰, leur accueil très chaleureux🤩. La propreté du studio😀.
Nous avons vraiment apprécié notre semaine du 9 au 16 Mai 2026😍.
Location is good. Right on the beach
Rooms need maintenance Lots of things were broken or not functional Broken refrigerator Door bell not ringing Bathroom door does not lock No exhaust in bathroom to dispel smell Just basic soap provided in bathroom nothing else
location was perfect sea view brilliant
Really well positioned easy check in/out procedures and very well maintained rooms

Limpo, acolhedor, excelente localização

Friendly staff, Location, clean room and price
Toilet is reception is loose and nearly toppled over when i used it, not a great first impression.
Proximité avec les commerces et la plage ainsi que le parking
Location is good as it is practically on the beach and you can see and hear the ocean from your room. It’s a huge apartment, renovated in an economic and old style fashion but it was clean
The mattress was comfortable but the beds look very sad, almost like an hospital bed, the room would have been great if they invested in better beds and bedding! The piscine was on the building across the street and it had a wonderful view of the ocean but it was dirty and unkept
The property was in the perfect location, close to the beach and near places to eat. The pool also had a fabulous view overlooking the water. The apartment was very clean with fresh towels and a quick clean provided which was ideal. I would recommend anyone to stay in the apartment
The only thing I can fault is that we only had one key to to the apartment between 4 of us, due to the previous guests losing some.
La propreté de l appartement et le confort
Lieu très bruyant et surtout fréquenté par des jeunes venus faire la fête, peu adapté à un séjour calme. À 50 ans, c’est la première fois qu’il m’arrive d’égarer mes clés, malheureusement un 1er mai où monsieur ne travaillait pas. Au lieu d’un peu de compréhension, je me suis fait crier dessus. Plus de professionnalisme aurait été apprécié
Bel établissement, magnifique vue mer. Quartier calme en cette période (début mai)
Rien
We loved the location, the parking, the pool, the beach.
Loved this place Perfect by sea Loads of space and felt safe as women staying alien
Nothing all perfect
The mattress and pillows were great. Nice view. Free car park nearby
I didn't like to leave. Thank you guys!
The location personal and the appartment was really nice
the bathroom stinks really bad, the smell coming from the pipes probably but it was not tolerable…
