Very Happy Holiday

The apartment is large and well looked after. There were ample cooking utensils, saucepans etc for self catering. The complex has 2 lovely pools and they weren't super busy at all.

Malgré un accueil moyen bon séjour

Nous avions prévenu que nous arrivons en retard car il y avait un accident sur la route et que nous allions avoir 40 minutes de retard.Mais cela n’a pas du tout plus à la personne qui était en charge de notre accueil. Il était trop occupé et ne pouvez pas se permettre d’accueillir des personnes en retard. Malgré cet accueil nous avons passé un bon séjour. Logement en adéquation avec l’annonce

About the host

Hosted by Derek McArdle

We have been travelling to the Algarve for 30 years, and so when an opportunity came to purchase an apartment near the sea and shops I jumped at the chance! It has proved a super investment and not only do we rent it out but use it ourselves several times a year.

Why they chose this property

Many of our clients are returning to this property year after year, as they love the Vale de Parra/Guia region, and feel comfortable inside the apartment. Now we have an excellent TV package and WiFi from MEO installed so clients can access the internet, download e-mails and look at their whatsapp messages! Our representatives, Terry and Celia live nearby, look after the apartment for us, and are available should any problems arise during your stay

What makes this property unique

We successfully applied for a Portuguese Property Rental licence which was awarded in February 2016, and details of which can be seen inside the apartment

The licence number is 25044/AL.
