Varandas do Castelo by Garvetur

This is a lovely apartment, well appointed with all facilities and very clean. However, you need to have a car to stay here really, as it is quite a way out of Albufiera. We didn't have a car so had to get taxis into town. Staff were very friendly and helpful and spoke good English. There are two small grocery shops about a 10 minute walk from the apartment. The facility also has a lovely restaurant attached.

Just coming to the end of a 10 day stay, what a fabulous find. It was a last minute booking for my daughter and myself and our stay has been blissful. We have stayed in a beautiful modern 1 bedroom apartment which was spotlessly ckean. Kitchen is well equipped although strangely odd little things like a bottle opener were missing. I'm sure if we had asked a reception it would have been provided but we just picked one up in the supermarket . The bed is absolutely huge and very comfortable with plenty of storage in wardrobes for clothes. Bathroon modern with lovely walk in shower. Garden and Pool area are quite and even at the end of July you can easily get sun loungers late into the afternoon. The pool looks odd in the photo's but this is because the tiles are brown/ grey but it is beautiful and clean. Beach is a 5-10 minute walk away. If you want nightlife it is not the place for you and I would recommend getting a hire car if you want to explore the area but if you are happy with half a dozen or so beautiful quite restaurants within a 5 minute walk, peaceful pool area and beautiful garden views you won't find anywhere better. Would definitely come back.

Ottima esperienza in questa struttura moderna e curatissima con la famiglia nel mese di agosto. Il residence si trova a dieci minuti da Albufeira in una zona molto elegante e residenziale, a pochi minuti da spiagge molto belle (Praia dos Arrifes, do Sao Rafael, Coehla…). Parcheggio sempre disponibile. L’appartamento è molto ampio, luminoso con due grandi vetrate che si affacciano su un terrazzo molto grande con una vista bellissima sul giardino con piscina e sullo sfondo il mare (non sono sicura che tutte le camere abbiano questa vista). L’arredamento e’ moderno e molto curato, bagno con box doccia molto grande. Anche il giardino e la piscina sono molto curati, c’è anche una piscina più piccola per i bambini. La pavimentazione scura della piscina (granito grigio) la rende particolarmente elegante. Il ristorante del residence, Olive, è da provare, piatti tipici del posto molto buoni e servizio ottimo. Anche lo staff del residence è molto disponibile e gentile, sempre reperibili con whatsapp e disponibili per qualsiasi richiesta o consiglio. Consiglio vivamente questa struttura.
