Parque da Corcovada apartments
Review Submitted: August 8, 2008
Date of Stay: July 2008
I found Caroline very helpful and informative, she even sorted out some where for us to store our luggage as we had an evening flight home . The apartment was described very accurately and photos do not do it justice! The large terrace was great for breakfast and evening meals and being able to keep an eye on the kids at the pool as it was directly below us. The bedrooms were very large with plenty of wardrobe and drawer space. The lounge is extremely large with two large sofas and four separate patio doors out on to the terrace.
It is ideally placed for bars, restaurants local shops etc as "The strip" is within very close walking distance and the tourist train runs from there very frequently to and from the Old Town where there is an abundance of restaurants, bars, shops, street entertainers, open air concerts, and a wonderful beach!
The Bar/restaurant/shop does reasonably priced meals and snacks and also as internet access to entertain teenagers for an hour. (tho it is cheaper on "The Strip")
The only negatives we had was that the air conditioning was not working during our stay (Caroline was good enough to call me the night before and expalin) Tho large fans were provided in the bedrooms. The terrace missed a few sun loungers on the large terrace as the ones by the pool all were towelled by 10am (tho rules by the pool do stipulate that sun beds cannot be reserved).
The nearest reasonably sized supermarket is a good twenty mins walk, tho there are two or three nearer but extremely small and very expensive.
Overall we had a brilliant holiday and would stay in this penthouse again and would recommend this property to friends and family(which we already have) !
Owner's Response: Hi Angela,
I would like to thank you for taking the time to write this review. I very much appreciate your kind and positive comments.
I do apologise that the air conditioning was not working, unfortunately we have had to change from single phase electricity to 3 phase electricity and we were waiting for the electricity board to approve this.
Otherwise I am delighted that you enjoyed staying in our penthouse and that you all had a brilliant holiday. Kind Regards, Caroline
