Great apartment nice and quiet but very close to the strip with plenty pubs clubs and restaurant. It had everything we needed big comfortable bed and big gorgeous terrace lots of privacy with there being no maids but more than enough essentials, lots of towels toilet rolls etc even had hairspray and deodorant etc I loved this place and would book it again the only thing I didn’t like was the sun disappearing over the building leaving the gorgeous big terrace in the shade from around 1pm each day but plenty space and loungers at the pool with sun shining on it all day

Short holiday in Albufeira
We decided to book a short stay in our favourite place. and found this lovely property in Albufeira. Checking in was easy, we met Teresa in the lobby, she took us up to the apartment and gave us a tour of the place, and left us to it, Stephen let us check in early which was a bonus and the location of the apartment is perfectly situated between the old town and the strip as we usually visit both while in the Algarve, a supermarket is nearby for any provisions you need. The photos of the apartment don’t do it justice to be honest, there is everything you could need for your stay. Our only minor niggle was that there was no wifi, the tv had some English channels which was a bonus, but we weren’t in portugal to watch tv. The balcony area had nice views of the ocean. The pool area was ideal with plenty of loungers.

We are a couple of oldies. Lovely block and flat, had everything we needed, even Wi-Fi! Pool excellent. Very peaceful compared to some other nearby complexes. Very relaxing. Was worried about noise at night from the strip but no problem. View over sea to Vilamoura.

Excellent weeks break in a really lovely apartment
We had a great stay in this lovely apartment which is decorated and kitted out to an excellent standard. It had everything you’d need and more All those little things that you’d often have to buy or just do without were there The location is excellent - stones throw from the beach and from there you can walk all the way with your toes in the sand/ water up to the old town. It can be busy and a little noisy at night from the ‘strip’ but that’s more than made up by the view from the balcony and access to the beach and pool. We had a bit of a wait to get into the apartment but overall we had great communication with Stephen the owner throughout. I would definitely consider staying here again and would recommend it to others.

The property itself has everything you can need both in the room and in the complex as well as being a five min walk to the beach. It's in a quiet and gated area so feels very safe and is a 10 min walk to the strip. It is around a 30 min walk to old town but it is also well connected with a tourist train, tuk tuks and taxis for those not able to walk it.

Just back from a two weeks stay at the apartment. Location wise great just back from the strip and a 15 to 20 minute walk on the beach to the old town. The apartment itself is clean and has everything you could wish for. Miss the mornings sitting on the balcony view of the sea eating breakfast. Would recommend this apartment . Being middle aged woman felt safe a it is also gated. Hope to come back soon.

Perfect peaceful break
Steve's Apartment is a lovely place to stay. Transport arranged for us very easy to get there and sorted. Was a little disappointed when first went out on balcony overlooking car park but soon as you see the further view it's lovely and the place is in a perfect position for everything. Easy to old town and strip if that is your thing. Next door is a restaurant chilli peppers which is so relaxing with lovely food and drinks at amazing low prices we ended up eating every day. Would definitely come back the bed is huge and so comfortable and get the early sun till around 1 pm in June on balcony. Only issue was the internet TV it was so glitchy didn't manage to watch anything fully without it freezing or just very bad quality. You don't go on holiday to watch TV but nice to just chill on an evening so would have been nice if worked. Easy access to lovely beach and spar supermarket just up road. Really enjoyed our time there it got better day by day

Really enjoyed our trip and the apartment was in a great location with a wonderful sea view. Great bedroom with a roomy king bed. Owner needs to increase wifi speed as it is too slow to watch tv and keeps freezing up. The cupboard above the sink where the dishes are located needs to be checked for mildew as a bad odour is there all the time. We had a great trip and thanks for allowing us to use your apartment and we would recommend this to others.

Lovely Apartment
Well equipped apartment on the 3rd floor of the complex. Walking distance to shops and restaurants. Just a couple of hundred yards to the beach and you can walk into the old town along the beach which took a leisurely stroll of 25 minutes. Pool area very good with plenty of sunbeds for everyone and a large pool. Overall we had a very nice and relaxing holiday.

Lovely apartment with everything we needed
Had a lovely holiday. Beach only five minutes walk away. Walked into Albufeira most evenings along the beach (took about 20 minutes along the duck boards). The best meal we had was at the Tres Coroas restaurant in Albufeira, we had the Portugese steak which was delicious. We went to Vilamoura which cost €20 for us both each way. We booked this through the travel kiosks at Albufeira but I think Expose travel may be a bit cheaper. All in all a lovely week spent in a comfortable apartment in a location which suited us perfectly.

The apartment was first class and well equiped with good quality fixtures and fittings. Central location was excellent just 2 minutes to great beech and close to all ammenities. Every thing one could need was provided. The only item that could improve the apartment would be to get the shower operational. Would recommend it and definately use it again if the opportunity rose.
