Guest Reviews

• Prus Oleksandr (10/5): - Everything was absolutely wonderful! We truly enjoyed our stay. The view was breathtaking, and the location is perfect — just a short walk from the ocean. The hosts were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything we needed during our stay. The apartment had a great atmosphere, and everything was clean and comfortable. We would definitely love to come back again. Highly recommended!
• Cyril (10/5): Great place to stay for work/rest - Greet location, all commodities you need is included , Great Host
• Kevin (8/5): -
• Nish (10/5): Amazing location, excellent support from the provider, and Fernando was particularly supportive - The flat overall was excellent. In particular, its location was extremely convenient, and we especially loved the balcony with its amazing sea view and the soothing sound of the waves. There wasn’t anything in particular that we disliked about the flat itself. However, during our stay, there was one night when we heard some loud noise and banging from the surrounding neighbours, which was a bit concerning
• Rachel James (8/5): Generally a great place, excellent location + all amenities you need. - Excellent location, met at front door with keys shown round. Good easy communication with hosts. Apartment had everything for being self catering although we usually had dinner out. Appreciated the little things like bottle water/ fresh oranges/ rose wine + couple tabs for washing machine/dishwasher + tea/coffee ect. Very clean n tidy. 15-20min walk to old or new Albufeira or 5 min drive. Good beach - just setting up chairs with shade for season as we left end March. Can be windy and waves stronger than they look. Not criticism per se but just couple of things to be aware of mainly personal preference thing. The bed mattress is very firm albeit good quality -so we managed ok but prefer a little softer and decor not too taste maybe loose the pink + replace frying pans. We only cooked bacon once and smoky even with extractors on + doors open - induction hob little tricky to figure out but we managed it just takes a while to heat up properly. The apartment says Forte on booking.com but is in block which is kind of part of Isabel + Monica hotel, but not a little confusing, staff around every day doing changes but b aware the apartment isn't serviced a general rule ...I'm sure if we had asked they would have arranged it but not an issue for us . Parking was mostly ok for us but it can be busy and difficult at times.
• Barbara (10/5): - Der traumhafte Blick vom Balkon.
• MundM (10/5): -
• Carmen (10/5): - Alles bestens. Die Waschmaschine hat gefehlt.
• Derek (10/5): We had a great time , loved our stay . - Good location, only a short walk to the beach. Great view from the balcony. Great bar/ restaurant nearby. Very little worktop space in the kitchen area. Everything else is fine.
• Corinne (10/5): Fantastic - Stunning location and view, Very peaceful. Great balcony. Everything you need for a holiday home and more. Booked this apartment as thought one bedroom not studio but view and location made up for it.
• Daiva (9/5): - Everything was good. Missing just one washing machine.
• Inga (9/5): -
• Daniela (10/5): - Everything was absolutely perfect — the place was spotless, very well maintained, and equipped with everything we needed to feel comfortable and at home.We truly appreciated how attentive and prompt the owner was throughout our stay. It made us feel very welcome and well cared for, which added so much to our experience. We felt excellent during our holiday, and we’re already looking forward to coming back again.
• Terence (9/5): Superb - We were very pleased with the appointment and the free wine and water.It was very much a home and not a hotel..
• Denver (10/5): Absolutely superb, excellent value for money strongly recommendedI would use it again - Wonderful host, superb location, well equipped, comfortable , well serviced apartment, beautiful view from the balcony over the beach and sea. Close to amenities.
• Martin (8/5): Very good -
• Lynne (10/5): A super stay in a really comfortable accommodation. - The apartment was really central between the strip and the old town. The apartment had an amazing balcony. The sunset and sea views were fabulous. The apartment is very well kitted out with everything you would require to have a lovely self catering holiday. The area was really quiet and the beach just a short stroll away. The cost was always at the end of the phone if you needed anything, although we didn’t. Some lovely welcome treats upon arrive which was really special! Nothing g
• Mark (10/5): Fabulous apartment for two in a quiet part of Albufeira - The apartment is well-positioned in the town, with a fabulous view out to sea and overlooking a ravine, the terrace feels very private. The apartment has everything needed- including a very well-equipped kitchenette- with large fridge/freezer, microwave, two-ring hob and even a compact dishwasher! Working surface is limited- but we just used the dining table for preparation! There are two coffee machines, kettle and toaster, as well as every utensil you could need. The bed is very comfortable and there is ample storage in the wardrobe (which is internally illuminated- an excellent idea!). The sofa is comfortable and also due to an electric shutter, half the terrace can be closed off and, even in winter, then used for dining outside at night. The TV has a multitude of satellite channels, with a good sound system and fast WiFi connection. The aircon worked exceptionally well as a heater during the cooler evenings of our visit. The bathroom has a toilet, bidet and bath with shower over: there is a separate wall-mounted fan heater and heated towel rail- which was useful during our stay during winter. The hosts (Sara and Fernando) kept good contact through the app and WhatsApp- and checked in remotely to ensure everything was ok during our stay. They also left us a wonderful bottle of Port, delicious fresh local oranges, lots of chocolates and they also subtly decorated the apartment for Christmas, all of which was a lovely touch. . We managed to cook well over a Christmas break- but surprisingly there were also a lot of restaurants open. We would not hesitate to come here again and are looking at booking again soon! It’s a brilliant apartment for a nice, quiet stay as a couple, with very attentive hosts who take care in Nothing- it was a fabulous place to stay!
• Alejandra (10/5): The location is excellent. The place meet our needs and was very comfortable - The location
• Derek (10/5): Comfortable Apartment with stunning views from the balcony. - We really enjoyed our stay at Forte apartment. It is very clean, comfortable and very tastefully decorated. It has everything you need to make your stay like a home from home experience . The large bed and pillows are very comfortable. Fernando & Sara are very warm & welcoming people who care a lot for the residents. I contacted Fernando regarding a coffee machine that didn't work and Sara arrived immediately with a brand new one. Great customer service!!There was a fab welcome gift of wine, water, copious amounts of juicy oranges. Parking on site is a bonus and is very easy. The location is in a quiet area of Albufeira but only a short walk to either the "Strip" or the old town. There are a few bars & restaurants in the area. The sandy beach is only a 3 minute walk away and is fantastic. The view from the balcony is unbeatable and you can even hear the sounds of the ocean. There was nothing more pleasurable than sitting on the balcony of an evening watching the glorious sunset with a glass of Fernando's wine in hand. We will certainly return to this apartment when in Albufeira. Unfortunately the washing machine wasn't working and as we were travelling through Portugal we had a build up of clothes that needed refreshing . All in all this is a fabulous apartment and I would highly recommend it.
• Dalibor (9/5): Superb -
• Maksim (10/5): Exceptional - Ocean view, all the facilities to make you feel at home, gifts from the hotel.
• Susan (8/5): Very good - Breakfast wasn't included but the kitchen was well equipped. We loved having a view from a nice balcony and being so close to the beach. A special thanks to Fernando who picked us up from the station and had to make 2 trips because he had a small car and we had large luggage. We advised him that the beach umbrella was broken so he drove into Faro (about an hour away) to buy us a new one. He was always available if we had any questions. It was also great to have restaurants and bars within the complex, even a couple of small supermarkets. We absolutely loved our stay. The air conditioner was useless, needs re-gassing or replacing. A face washer and tea towel would have been handy. Also some plain tea bags like English Breakfast.
• Susan (10/5): Excellent apartment in a great location. - The location was two mins from the beach and a 15 min walk to the Old Town and the Strip. The apartment was tastefully decorated and had every convenience needed. Fernando shuttled us to and from the airport at Faro for a very competitive rate. He is a really nice man who provided full background to the area and the apartment nothing
• Andy (10/5): Exceptional -
• Darran (9/5): Would definitely go again. - Great views from the balcony, Good value for money. Nice welcome pack including a bottle of wine, a bottle of water and some fresh oranges. It got chilly at night. Could of done with an extra blanket, but the host was available should I have contacted.
• Barbara (8/5): So glad I found this apartment - The apartment had everything necessary for a great stay in a superb location and Fernando couldn't be more helpful. A large balcony with an amazing sea view, two minutes walk to the beautiful beach. Would definitely stay here again. The kitchen prep area was very small.
• Sean (10/5): Exceptional - A very good location to visit Albufeira. A lovely short walk along the beach to the Old Town.
• Lorraine (10/5): Amazing location and facilities - The location was amazing with everything you needed for a comfortable stay! Fernando was exceptionally helpful and welcoming. Nothing
• Kbubz (9/5): Superb - Quiet and comfortable, all you need in apartment .Very homely .
• Akos (8/5): Very good - Great location, friendly host Some maintenance work was required, although it was carried out promptly
• Daniel (10/5): We had a wonderful stay in a lovely place! - The apartment is very comfortable, clean, with a great seaview and a terrace. Much better than we expected: tea, coffee, shower gel, shampoo, toilet rolls and much more. We were pleasantly surprised with a bottle of wine, water, oranges and sweets. The hosts are very caring, friendly and helpful.
• Timothy (9/5): The sea views and noise from the balcony alone made the stay very worthwhile. I would definitely recommend staying there - The owners had gone above and beyond to provide everything to enhance your stay. So many ‘extras’ as listed previously which were greatly appreciated. Easy parking directly outside. Good communication with the owner by WhatsApp ensuring smooth collection of the property keys. Minor issue but following a shower the water did not easily flow away in the bath
• Roxana (9/5): Superb - location, balcony view. we stayed for a week and had issues with hot water several days even though the owner was trying to solve it quite fast.
• Steven (10/5): Excellent - Nothing to not like .stayed here before beautiful view everything you need in the apartment excellent as always Nothing
• Inga (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent and very kind communication with Sara and Fernando. Very helpful with the information, transport to/from the airport. Fantastic support in a critical for us situation. Really nice place with a great view over the ocean- large terrace to sunbathe on, or have breakfast/dinner. Very quiet and safe. Thank you for the fruit, coffee and the wine!
• Dariusz (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment is located near a beautiful, sandy beach in a peaceful area perfect to take some rest. The apartment is very clean and equipped with everything you might need. The hosts are reliable, helpful, friendly and very hospitable. We were welcomed with a bottle of nice wine and some sweet treats. It was a very comfortable stay. Perfect holidays. Thank you.
