it had everything we needed and more,washer,extra bedding,towels cleaning things,a fabulous shower.really good internet connection, information around the apartment about the local area.A proper home from home,contact from the hosts was fabulous, before during and after,nothing was too much trouble,even telling us about NYE music an fireworks, fantastic location you see the sea an alvor boardwalk from the balcony it’s 2min away, it’s less then 5 min in to the town,your in a lovely gated community,it’s at the bottom of the town on the flat an a lift is available for anyone with mobility issues,this is a place my husband and I will more then happily return to this lovely home from home, highly recommend it.

there wasn’t anything to dislike

This sunny, spacious apartment was one of the best-equipped we have ever stayed in, and only five minutes walk from the beach and - in the other direction - the town nightlife. There was a good kitchen, excellent lighting that allowed you to read in bed (or anywhere else). The hosts were very helpful and made our stay a comfortable one. There is a balcony that looks out over the sea, and is great for meals even out of season, because it is sheltered. The bedroom is large and comfortable, and was quiet. The flats as a whole are quiet, a little traffic noise from the one busy road out front seemed to get through the double glazing into the lounge - perhaps amplified by the hard surfaces of the balcony. Still, on the other hand you can hear the crash of the surf too, which is wonderful! The owners tell me this window is to be replaced, so hopefully that will soon be sorted.

We had a great stay at Seaview at Vila da Praia. We were met by Maria for an early check-in and she explained how various things worked and where the local supermarket was. The apartment is light and spacious, on the top floor of the small block - so no noise from above! We slept very well in the comfortable bed and used the well equipped kitchen on a number of evenings. I believe there is underground parking but we didn't use it as there was always parking right outside the flat within the private gated area. The location is great a few minutes walk to the beach and boardwalk and in the other direction a few minutes and you are by the harbour and village with cafes and restaurants. The supermarket is two minutes away on foot and very well stocked. We had a lovely holiday with great walks on the doorstep. We particularly liked a delicious lunch at Restaurante Atlantida at Tres Irmaos Beach on our last day. If we return to Alvor, Seaview at Vila da Praia would definitely be our first choice. Thank you Maria and Miguel.

apartment was very clean and comfortable

It was extremely well appointed and extremely comfortable. The bed was large and comfy, as was the lovely sofa. It was like a real home from home, not just a bland apartment. Beautifully clean,and very friendly, helpful and efficient hosts, for whom nothing was too much trouble.

A few more mugs for hot drinks would be nice,as well as a large clothes airer, to be able to dry a whole load of washing from the washing machine. There was a small airer big enough to dry swimwear and a couple of towels though. But a proper big one would be good. These are very small issues, and didn’t spoil our stay.
