5 estrelas 😊 Muito simpaticos Limpeza em dia 😊

We were very pleased with our 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment with full kitchen, lounge/diner, balcony and roof terrace. What's not to like? We also had a beautiful bougainvillea outside. A change of sheets would have been nice, but not really a problem for just a week. The pool area is spacious with plenty of sunbeds and shade under the trees, but no parasols, and the pool is cold. This did not stop my friend doing her daily exercise, but too chilly for me. Unfortunately the back gate to the pool area was locked, so we had to take the longer route and down a steep flight of steps to access the pool. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The negatives of the property are the location (a big problem), and lack of Wifi (an inconvenience) anywhere other than by the pool. The property is advertised as in Armacao de Pera, but is in fact in Alporchinos. The mini market on site was not open, but there is a large supermarket 5 or so minutes up the road and about 7/8 restaurants a bit further on (3 of which are Indian!). The beaches are a good 15/20/25 minutes walk - downhill on the way and therefore uphill on the way back. The main beach at A de P is long, sandy and very busy, but accessible. Of the other 2 coves - Redonda is virtually inaccessible to anyone with walking difficulties and Senhora da Rocha is busy, because boat trips go from there and there is also a restaurant. It is also not very big. We had a boat trip in a traditional Portuguese fishing boat, which was good apart from the dozens of kyakers and a constant stream of small boats also visiting the caves and bays. Apart from these boat trips there doesn't seem much else to do unless you want to hike along the cliffs.

La maison comporte 3 chambres mais une est située en sous sol sans fenêtre (j'aurais aimé que ce soit précisé). Pour le reste il y a tout ce qu'il faut même si un peu plus d'entretien et de ménage n'aurait pas été refus. La plage et le centre animé sont proches. Heureusement que nous sommes allés pour la région, le soleil et que nous passions 90% de notre temps dehors!
