Spacious, good location, well-equipped

Minor niggles - no teaspoons, patio door stuck, no plug in wash basin TV instructions not clear

Everyone was ready to help and to provide you the best information ( ty ty ty Carolina and cleaning staff from Quarteira ) ;)

Nothing to add, one week apartment that suits perfectly ;)

The location and the views were spectacular.

The first 2-bedroom apartment had some issues. we found several issues that affected our stay: * The bathroom had an unpleasant smell. * One of the lifts was not working. * The fridge was leaking water, and there was a puddle of water in front of it. We originally expected a comfortable and clean apartment, but this did not meet our expectations.

When we checked into the first room, it was not as we had expected but they tried to accommodate by moving us to another room. They also mentioned that if we had said in our booking about which apartment we would like, they would have tried to ensure that one for us. The apartments are large, with a TV and a nice sized balcony.

Unfortunately, more dislikes than likes. 1. Despite the lady being very nice, communication in English was not easy/possible. We went to the office to collect our keys (5-10m walk from property) and it took us nearly 1 hour before we finally got into our apartment, we were the only people there too, maybe the receptionist was new? She was on the phone a lot... 2. 90% of the photos on the booking are of the nicest apartment they rent out. We were checked into one which looked nothing like 90% of the photos, with many ants, no view and really dated furniture (room 3c). We argued on the phone about this and were (after much debate) moved to the only other available apartment (4c). This was an improvement to 3c, with nicer furniture and a better view. But it is still not like the nicest of the photos advertised. I recommend they take specific photos of each apartment and list them accordingly, not list one apartment and say 'it could vary slightly'. We were sadly really underwhelmed with the apartment, shocked even. 3. There is no WIFI. I must say that it does state this on the listing, however... who checks if they say they have wifi these days?... doesnt everywhere :')? 4. Bathroom is rather unclean, but it is just really old. Same for the kitchen, and for the Sofa. 5. The double bed in 4c is extremely uncomfortable and dated. The two single beds in the other room are newer and comfortable. My partner and I actually slept in the single beds for the rest of our stay due to how uncomfortable the double was after just one night. 6. No clear instructions were given on how to enter the property, we asked the receptionist to bring us up to our apartment, she was about to leave us at the front of the building and it is a huge building that doesnt clearly label the layout of rooms. Leaving us alone would have been rather time consuming and stressful. Receptionists should go to the rooms with customers and give them a small briefing about the apartment.
