I have just returned from a 4 month stay in this apartment, and cannot wait to return. Both Maria and Marta (the owners) are the nicest people you can wish to meet. From the outset they made booking very easy despite initial problems with the internet. Maria met us at Faro airport and drove us to the apartment in Quarteira. The photographs of the apartment do not do it any justice. It was larger than anticipated, very clean, and the view from the balcony was beautiful. The kitchen and bathroom were a bit on the small side, but not a problem. The kitchen had all appliances, but it was very cheap to dine out at the nearby restaurants. There was a supermarket, butchers and newsagent/tobacconists across the road. There was an Irish sports bar (Baz and Minnies) a couple of minutes walk away, where the staff and clientele were brilliant. All in all a beautiful apartment in a brilliant location.
