Brilliant Balaia!

Persimmon, Dublin
Review Submitted: July 26, 2008, Date of stay: July, 2008

Have just returned from a week in this lovely part of the Algarve. The luxurious apartment was simply a delight. Anything we might have needed was available. We particularly liked the shutters, to keep the intense sun out of the apartment by day and of course the air-conditioning was a bonus! It was particulary hot - 38-40 degrees most days so we needed the relief!
Balaia is a lovely area, ideally situated near local friendly restaurants (my daughter loved the steak!) and beaches and not too close to the noise and mayhem of the Albufeira strip during the day, but easily accessible at night for a bit of lively entertainment. The only difficulty was the local shop being 200 yards away, which is ok by car in intense July heat but on foot it seemed a lot further I can tell you! At least we had the glorious pool to dive into on our return! Apart from that minor quibble, it was the perfect apartment in the perfect location. We loved it, and would highly recommend it. We fully intend to stay again.

Owner's response:

Many thanks for taking the time to write this review. I agree that the local restaurants are superb and that they are really inexpensive and good value. I also agree that the walk to the supermarket can take a few minutes but I wonder whether you found the nearest one which is on the road to Club Med? This is a 5 minute stroll across the road from the apartment. Then, there is another supermarket a 10 minute stroll to the right of the apartment and a large hypermarket to the left of the apartment, a 15 minute walk along the road to Olhos D'Agua. I am delighted that you enjoyed the apartment and that you had such a fabulous time. I look forward to your repeat booking which will attract a discount as all repeat bookings do.
Best wishes
Penny
