“Not happy experience”
Nobody warned us that there’s no air conditioning in this apartment. There was heat +42 outside but inside was more! Even if you open windows it doesn’t help. Apartment was like a sauna. I… More

Response from the owner Dear Lhor It is with sadness that you have deemed to leave such a bad review and did not think, at any point of your holiday to contact me or the management team in Albufeira, for assistance during your stay. As we are all aware, August 2023 brought a heatwave to Europe overall of +42 temperatures, something everyone suffered from. Within the advert, it clearly states “there is a portable air conditioning unit and fans”. One fan was indeed not working (brought to my attention from the guests who stayed in the apartment after you), the fan was replaced the same day of their call to me! They did not report any issues with the Portable Air-Con Unit. With regards to the music from town, it is no secret that Albufeira (being a busy resort) is one which has bars open until the early hours of the morning. If googling the area prior to your booking, this would have become apparent and you could have chosen a quieter resort within the Algarve. With regards to cleaning of the apartment, you were not asked to clean it prior to your departure, it was only requested of you to “ ensure you dispose of all rubbish prior to your departure and leave the apartment in the same condition you found it on entry” meaning, in a respectable condition, hence why I have notices within the apartment, such as “No Smoking”, “please dispose of rubbish” etc., I would recommend if you have issues with any of the places you stay in, you contact the management immediately so they can do everything within their power to ensure your stay is a comfortable one. Nobody can help you if they don’t know there is a problem!

“Apartment with a view”
My husband and I have just returned from a 2 week break in this amazing apartment. The apartment was clean on arrival and well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The beds were comfortable, lovely pool area but we didn’t use as we prefer the beach, umbrellas for the beach were also in the apartment. The balcony was huge with sun loungers, table and chairs and a view to die for. The walk to the escalators down to the beach was minutes away, and lots of lovely restaurants and bars nearby. Communication with Philippa was excellent, we got her to book our airport transfers which were perfect. Amazing holiday and will return next year

“Fab apartment”
We stayed in apartment 450 Apartment do sol Cerro Branco for 8 nights and can only say it was the nicest apartment I've ever stayed in. It had everything we needed. The balcony itself was like an extra room. The views were out of this world. Without a doubt we will return here the first chance we get.
