We reluctantly returned home to rainy Manchester after 2 weeks in the beautiful Algarve.
Right from the start of the holiday we were immediately relaxed and felt welcome. We arrived at Faro to a Welcome text from Peter and then went to meet the Taxi at arrivals.
When we arrived at the apartment we were met by Jose, who welcomed us and took us up to the apartment.
Wow, is all I can say - we never got over how fantastic the apartment was for the whole of the 2 weeks we were in it. Just a real home away from home, everything we could have wished for and more.
Everywhere was clean and tidy, the beds were comfy - our two boys (aged 5 and 8) loved the fact they had their very own en-suite. In fact in a rather boring way I'm sure I could go on for hours about the merits of the apartment and the complex.
The pool was fantastic and a short 5 minute walk got you to the beach if the pool's not your thing. One of the only decisions we had to make every day was pool am and beach pm, and vice versa.
The other tough decision happened each night, which of the numerous restaurants to eat in. Cataplanas became a firm favourite between the four of us. The boys ate clams, mussels, sardines and crab - now we're home they're not getting any where near as much variety.
We will definitely be coming back, and can't wait to settle back in to the relaxed pace of Portugese life we have come to love.
Thanks so much Peter and Anabela for all your help - we'll definitely be back (and will try not to lock the safe by accident within 5 miutes of being there!)
Owner's Response: It was lovely to have you with us, and we look forward to helping you again next time.
Glad you enjoyed yourselves so much!
