It was a great vacation at this wonderful Penthouse Apartment which is set high above with a full view of the bay and beach area. The huge balcony is perfect for a relaxing day in the sun from sunrise till sunset with a panoramic view of the bay and nearby area. The second balcony is well sheltered from the wind and is also used as a dining area.
The apartment is nicely furnished with marble floors throughout, upgraded appliances and equipped with fluffy towels in the bathroom.
The location is ideal with a great supermarket, mercado with fresh meat, fish & vegetables and a taxi stand and bus stop within a 5 minute walk. There are plenty of restaurants along the beach and the surrounding area which are mostly frequented by retired tourists looking for a quiet evening of eating, resting and people watching.
Alhos D’Agua has the characteristics of a fishing village with a few small fishing boats at the end of the beach and a short boardwalk of restaurants and bars along the beach. If you enjoy walking along the beach from Alhos D’Agua beach you can access the amazing Falesia beach on the west, with its distinctive red rock formation and Maria Luisa’s wide sandy beach on the east. When the tide is low, both of these beaches can be accessed along the beach or you can choose the 15-minute walk along the street down a long stairway path.
This property is managed by a family-owned business who truly care about their guests. They provide an airport transfer to and from Faro and if anything is needed, you will be well looked after by Matt and Laura. Thanks again and I hope to return soon.
