About this property

In the most prestigious and sought after front line location on the entire Sao Rafael complex in the Algarve, this spacious and superbly furnished upper floor 2 bed apartment offers the shortest walk to 2 magnificent beaches and is one of the fewer to offer south facing balcony views of beautiful cliff and sea vistas. The website onbeach.com has voted Sao Rafael as Portugal's best beach & the 4th best in Europe. The environmental organisation Quercus has said that 15 of the Albufeira coast beaches, including Sao Rafael, have excellent water quality and Blue Flag status. Both beaches have superb restaurants and bars. The complex has a small supermarket within walking distance with several larger supermarkets including Lidl, Aldi Spar and Apolonia a few mins drive away.
The Albufeira marina with its many shops, cafes and bars, is within walking distance where an array of water sport activities are on offer and the charming old town of Albufeira is a few minutes drive away. Numerous great golf courses are also close to hand.
The recently redecorated apartment has a new modern en-suite bathroom, re-fitted and upgraded shower room in 2020. Refurbished kitchen in 2022. New mattresses on beds plus unlimited Internet access with all multi national TV channels including sports channels available. CD/Radio/MP3 player.
We have an English speaking management team who will meet & greet you and be available for help if needed during your stay. They can arrange airport transfers and welcome baskets for you upon request.

Relaxing stay

We are a couple in our late sixties and have just returned from a relaxing stay in this spacious, comfortable apartment. We did not hire a car but found that most places were within easy walking distance, including the pool, the beach, several bars and restaurants. We used the local bus to Albufeira to do a large shop at Il Continente supermarket. There is a taxi stand directly outside which cost 11 euros back to the apartment. Our contact Terry was at the apartment to meet & greet us and show us how everything worked. He dealt with a query about the tv straight away and ensured our bedding/towels were changed mid stay. Everything in the apartment is as shown or described and everything works, including cooker, dishwasher, aircon etc. Although close to all amenities, the apartment is set in lovely grounds and we found it very quiet and peaceful.

Bright spacious apartment

Just returned from a lovely break at this apartment. Everything you need for your holiday is provided, beach towels, parasol, cool box. Communication with the owner was excellent, especially when we needed some help with a medical issue while we were here. We made good use of Uber, especially for food shopping. Would possibly hire a car next time, just for convenience. Wonderful place to stay.
