Zeer compleet appartement

De eigenaar van het appartement heeft ons uitstekend geholpen en reageert supersnel. Ook ter plaatse is er alle hulp aanwezig en wordt op elke vraag heel snel geantwoord. Het appartement ligt tussen Portimao en Praia da Rocha in; elk op 15 min loopafstand of 3 euro met een Uber. Wij vonden de balkons het grote pluspunt met uitzicht op de haven en verderop de zee. Elke ochtend de zon op zien komen vanuit het de stoelen op het balkon. Verder beschikt het appartement over alles wat je nodig hebt. De auto kan veilig geparkeerd worden; er is ruimte zat. Het zwembad is ook prima; wel zelf een stoel of bedje meenemen vanuit het appartement. Kortom: als we naar de Algarve gaan komen we graag terug naar deze plek.

Heel fijn appartement met prachtig uitzicht

Wij verbleven de maand februari in dit fijne appartement. De avonden waren wat koeler en dan is het heerlijk aangenaam te maken met de airconditioning. Ook voor een langer verblijf is het appartement prima uitgerust.

Het contact met de verhuurder en later met de gastvrouw in Portugal verloopt heel prettig en ze doen er alles aan om het je naar de zin te maken.

Kortom: wij vinden dit verblijf een echte aanrader.
