A little piece of Heaven

RB&BB Derry N Ireland
Review Submitted: June 15, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
This luxurious apartment offered everything we could possibly need. The location was absolutely perfect just a short walk from the village where there is an abundance of excellent restaurants and pubs offering craic and entertainment. The accommodation provides excellent views from both the living room and main bedroom. Alvor also offers an excellent bus service and we went to Vilamora, Monchique and pria da Lux. 5* hotels provide spa facilities should you wish to indulge yourself all within walking distance.

The service from our arrival at Faro airport where our driver was waiting for us to our departure was perfect. Michael's advice on where to eat and drink was very helpful. We would certainly recommend this apartment to our friends and we hope to be back to this apartment later this year.
Owner's Response: Hi Brian

Lovely apartment with fantastic sea views

P&W Wigan, Lancs
Review Submitted: November 12, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
We really enjoyed our stay in Michael's apartment. It is comfortable and spacious and its top floor position is probably the best in the complex givng fantastic sea views. It has two large sunny south facing balconies, one with really comfy loungers and the other a lovely table and chairs ideal for breakfast in the sunshine or al fresco lunches! The gated complex with two pools and very attractive gardens is very secure, quiet and extremely well-maintained. The location is excellent - just a couple of minutes walk into Alvor, which has all the shops and restaurants you could possibly want (we particularly enjoyed the Bouganvilla) - and a few minutes walk to the superb beach. We will definately use the apartment again and I would highly recommend it to anyone.
Owner's Response: Thankyou for your kind review. Look forward to seeing you again next year

Superb apartment on a very pleasant complex. Michael's people, Jack & Julie - terrific. I haved stayed in many apartments over many years in both Portugal and Spain. This one tops the lot by miles.
Will almost certainly return next year. Many thanks, Michael.

As good as it looks in the photos

JefRachMattJo Nottingham, UK
Review Submitted: September 24, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
Four of us (2 couples) stayed there for a week. It worked out really well since its a 2 bedroom aopartment, one with en-suite bathroom, and the other bedroom right next to the other bathroom so we had a bathroom each. Both bathrooms are fully fitted with shower/toilet/sink.

A lovely and spacious apartment in probably the best position in the complex: 2nd floor in the center of the block overlooking the pool with views across scrub land out to sea. Its in a secure compound so the grounds and pool area are safe.

The apartment really is as good as it looks in the photo's.

Alvor's main streets for bars and restaurants are only a short walk away, as is the beach.

We would heartily recommend this apartment. Its of the standard of a 5 star hotel for fit and finish. Air con, washing machine and dishwasher all got some use and were very handy. We would definitely book and stay there again.

we were delighted with this beautiful apartment,over the years i have stayed in differant apartments-this was definitely the best! It was everything that Michael had promised and more.after a very eary morning flight ,it was so lovely to be able to go straight in and relax with a cup of tea in the sunshine .And what better way of enjoying the views than from one of the balconies,glass in hand and watch the sun go down.Absolutely perfect!! Can't wait to come again Joyce &co.

The perfect holiday

K&E Ireland
Review Submitted: August 13, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
Our stay in Alvor was excellent throughout. The apartment is beautiful, spotless, spacious, overlooking two pools, and ideally located between the beach, a 10 min stroll, and the town, a 2 min walk.
The beach is big, clean and never seemed to be crowded. The town has loads of restaurants and bars but doesn't portray itself as 'touristy'. If you don't feel like eating out, then the apartment has all the facilities for cooking, and perhaps dining on one of the balconies.
The bus service in Alvor is good - if you feel like going to Lagos, Praia da Rocha or Albufeira.
We would recommend the 'Adega' or 'Toscas Morais' restaurants, the 'Black Stove' bar and the solar-powered riverboat trip to Silves. And not forgetting Lionel in the 'Chill Out' bar (50yds from the apartment) with his 1 Euro a pint deal.
We will definitely be back and we have no hesitations in recommending this trip and apartment to any type of holiday-maker.

Thanks again to Michael for letting us have the apartment and for the handy tips on Alvor.
Owner's Response: Hi keith
Great to hear you all enjoyed your holiday and look forward toseeing you in May again

Fantastic Apartment!

Review Submitted: July 30, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We cannot recommend this apartment highly enough. We have just returned from a great two weeks in Alvor. The apartment itself is so spacious with superb pool and beach views from both balconys - it was great to wake up in the morning and enjoy the view and the sunshine! It's ideally located in Alvor with supermarkets, restaurants, beach & harbour all within easy walking distance. Also, if you like your golf it's got a great location for a number of nearby courses, we managed to play a few. Alvor is a beautiful resort which has still maintained its charm and the restaurants are wonderful. Thanks to Michael and family for everything, it was great to meet you and I've no doubt we will be using your place again!
Owner's Response: Dear Elizabeth and Derek
It was lovely to meet you after all the e-mails.I am delighted you had a great time and you are certainly welcome to come again.Thanks for your kind review and i hope to see you soon

Fabulous!

HMD Dublin, Ireland
Review Submitted: June 30, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
This place was just perfect. Very spacious,choice of two balconies, immaculately clean, really well equipped - you could cook there every night very easily if you could avoid temptation of all the fab restaurants.

Overlooks the pool and separate kiddies pool. Plenty of loungers and a great pool. There was even a sun umbrella in the apartment - a very thoughtful addition for us fair skinned folks!

The location is brilliant. It is very quiet but you are no more than a 10 minute leisurely stroll from the town, beach and harbour. The town itself is lovely. Really good range of restaurants and bars but the grilled seafood by the harbour is just the best. Although it is mainly couples and families there is a really nice relaxed buzz about the place.

This is by far the best apartment I ever stayed in and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Loved it. Only downside - had to go home! But will be back...
Owner's Response: Thanks Helen.I knew you would have a ball.
See you next year,but you will eventually have to go home!

FABULOUS APARTMENT

SMHK Derby
Review Submitted: June 11, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
This apartment is fabulous! It was spotlessly clean, the two large balconies were perfect for getting both the sun during the day and in the early evening, you couldn't hear any noise from neighbours. The pool area was immaculate and always quiet so there was no fighting for sun loungers. The complex was perfectly located within Alvor only a short walk to the beach, harbour and village centre.

One of the best holidays we have ever had and the best apartment we have ever had out of all our 6 trips to Portugal!

We have recommended this apartment to all our friends and family and we will be going back very soon.

Thank you so much Michael for letting us use the apartment, we hope to go back soon.
Owner's Response: Hi Sarah
Thankyou for your kind comments.I am glad you all had a wonderfull time and look forward to you all coming back again soon.
