My impressions of 'Quinta da Praia'

GorIre Paisley
Review Submitted: June 14, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
The amenities of the apartment and services provided together with the most pleasant weather combined to provide us with a very enjoyable holiday.

The colourful decor, its spaciousness, large balcony, atmosphere and situation make this accommodation an ideal holiday location.

The pool area is most attractive with a fine grass surround, large palms and flowering shrubs which add colour to the scene.

One note of discord would be that the safe door had no lock and that one or two of the balcony window door locks did not operate properly.

In conclusion this was a memorable experience which would be readily repeated and is thoroughly recommended

Owner's Response: Thank you Irene & Gordon for this feedback, and we are glad you had a good experience and a pleasant holiday in the apartment in Alvor.

The Safe has now been replaced, and the shutters will be checked.

Thank you and we look forward to seeing you again soon.

Great Apartment

Review Submitted: April 3, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
Excellent location and very well equipped apartment. Sunny balcony for breakfast and lunch. Five minute walk to village center and about the same to the beautiful beaches. Two restaurants and a coffee shop in the block and a small food shop. The number eight bus stop is just outside the apt. and this takes you to the shopping mall where the Continente supermaket is. The weather was lovely.
The only difficulty we had was that when it was very windy it was hard to stop the shutters banging without closing them and blocking out the light. Could have done with a couple more pillowcases. No complaints and a great place.
Owner's Response: Glad you enjoyed our apartment, and thank you for the feedback. We will have the shutters checked, and look forward to hearing from you again soon.

Centrally situated comfortable appartment

John & Babs Glasgow
Review Submitted: December 5, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
The appartment is comfortable and ideally situated for the beach and Alvor's many excellent and varied restaurants. Loved the Brazilian chair which was very comfortable. We enjoyed eating breakfast on the balcony which got the
sun from early morning until mid afternoon.
Only downside was the noise from the restaurant downstairs at night and the fact that the larger of the pools was not in operation.
Would have liked an ironing board as we were there for 2 weeks and used the washing machine a few times.
Owner's Response: Hello John & Babs: We are glad you found the apartment sunny and comfortable during your time in Alvor.
Thank you for your feedback, and we have now arranged an ironing board in the apartment which will be better, although clients have always used the kitchen bar in the past.

Good complex/excellent service

S & J Glasgow, Scotland, UK
Review Submitted: July 5, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
Just returned from 10 days at these apartments and catered for most of our needs.
What was missing? An ironing board!!!
Pools and gardens lovely and never more than 10 people there which we loved.
Downside for us - beds uncomfortable and I spent 10 days in agony with sore back.
Also found the road and bar downstairs noisy at night.
I would recommend these apartments if noise doesn't bother you. Ideal location for beach and town.
Thank you Peter for excellent service. Will certainly use Holiday-Rentals again.
Owner's Response: We will always listen to and Act on all Feedback.

Thank you for the Recommendation : "Good complex/excellent Service".

- for ironing our clients normally use a marble worktop thats available.

Look forward to seeing you again in one of our Alvor apartments.

Home Away from Home

Pat and John Ireland
Review Submitted: May 26, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
This apartment has everything and more. Its location couldn't be better within easy reach of beach, town centre, restaurants, shops etc.
It was spotlessy clean and had all the conveniences of home including coffee maker, washing machine, full cooker, television, radie, cd player. It also had a very pleasant homely feeling to it which was great as the weather was not good therefore we spent a lot of time in the apartment.
On arrival the owner contacted us by phone and gave his details should a problem arise. He again contacted us during our stay to ensure that all was well. A nice touch which made us feel welcome without being intrusive.
I would certainly recommend this apartment to friends and family.
The only slight disadvantage to the entire holiday was the fact the the apartment is over a restaurant/bar and at night the moving of furniture could be a little noisy. However the advantages far outweigh this minor problem.
Alvor is a very lovely place with many good restaurants and bars and I will certainly be returning.

Pat
Owner's Response: We are happy that you enjoyed the apartment and the "homely" atmosphere, and you will always be welcomed back.

Our aim is to help you to have a worry free "relaxing" holiday in the traditional fishing village of Alvor.

See you soon!

First class property to use for your holiday,spotless clean great location, everything in the apartment you will need for your holiday.
The apartment is only five minutes walk from the beech & the town, no big hills to walk up pr down.
