I loved the comms before arrival. Flight into Faro airport landed at 10pm so needed an after hours access. Comms explained key pad and key safe and location of apartment. Very useful after a long day of travel ending with a 50 minute drive on unfamiliar roads in the dark. Welcome pack meant a nice cup of tea was available. In the morning our breath was taken away by the views from the balcony, the light, the space, the comfort. Our apartment was two self contained flats. Both with double beds and bathrooms. Our kids didn’t want to share so our 12 year old son let his 15 year old sister have the bedroom and he was given a spare bed in the living room. Although he ended up using the much more comfortable sofa for two weeks. Spotless and the staff were so very helpful. Pool was never too crowded with always room to find a sun lounger. Location was within 10 minutes slow walk to restaurants and bars of Ferragudo and 5 minutes walk to Praia Grande with it’s beach and cafe/restaurants. A little slice of heaven for two weeks. Would love to return.

Limited menu at the poolside bar. The toasties were too big!! Too filling.

The two bedroom apartment was just perfect with modern kitchen, spacious bedrooms and a hot tub on balcony. The swimming pool was a short walk from apartment and the pool bar was nice. A short walk to the beach, two nice restaurants at the beach, Club Nau worth booking in advance. Staff were friendly and the pool chairs over comfy and plenty of them. Decent gym with weights, equipment and treadmills.

It was perfect. worth having a car as proper supermarket a bit of a trek, you’d need to self -cater a bit for breakfast,lunch if you didn’t want to be in and out all day

There's much to commend this property, even before you enter the front door - the location is perfect, both for the main beach in Ferragudo, Praia Grande and for this picturesque town itself. The pre-stay communication was thorough and full of information and when I met the reception staff, they were absolutely excellent, very helpful and with faultless English. When the occasional housekeeping issue arose, it was dealt with quickly and efficiently. I also had a garage space with this property, which was a bonus. The apartment is huge, with a very large lounge/dining area, well-equipped kitchen, bedroom and bathroom downstairs and by means of an impressive spiral staircase, and additional bedroom, bathroom and utility room. An absolute pleasure to stay here.

I can't actually fault the accommodation, but if you have an aversion to hills or steps, Vila Castelo Parque and Ferragudo itself probably isn't the place for you.

The cleanliness of both the apartment bit also poolside ans reception area. Really comfortable sun loungers, really relaxed feel and environment. All the staff so friendly and pleasant from the maids to poolside bar staff. Great food , fairly priced drinks. Good gym facilities . Brilliant location few minutes walk ti the beach or into town for food. Went above and beyond to get our room early really early so we could check straight in!

Nothing. It was flawless exactly like it has been in previous stays here

Perfect location. Beautiful Villa with picturesque views. Roof top in the Penthouse is an added bonus - sunrise and sunset - glorious. Plenty of restaurants - excellent variety. Short stroll to beach or town. Locals are so friendly and helpful. Didn't want to leave.

Quite a few steps to get to accommodation from the car park. Not too much of a problem - only when carrying luggage to and from.

wonderful apartment, very luxurious. Beds were the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in 😊 the small welcome pack was an added bonus. The furnishings, bedding etc were of very good quality.

I have a few points that I’d like to raise with the owner of the apartment. The rug in the bedroom with twin beds was a trip hazard and we had to take it up as we nearly fell. The downstairs bathroom should have a grab rail in the bath to help getting in and out, and the slip mat provided should be much longer. The kitchen tea towels were all stained and need replacing (we didn’t use them). The electronic gates to get the car in only opened on one side in the morning we left so had to squeeze the car through, luckily we could. It should be noted on the advert for this apartment that the apartment and complex are not suitable for anyone with mobility problems.

Apartment on top floor gave us a beautiful view of sunsets and a bit of Harbour. Jacuzzi was a wonderful bonus. Used it more than once daily. Problem with aircon was sorted out by owner very quickly. Kitchen appliances, crockery, cutlery very good quality

Beds in main room were not as comfortable as expected.esp since rest if apartment was 5 star. Was not aware that the apartments was 3 floors up with no lift. It was OK for us, but if I had a tiddler and pram, or elderly parent it woyld have been a serious problem about which we were not warned

Great location. Spacious property very very quiet as at the end of summer.

The washing machine. The day before leaving we went out at 10am came back at 6pm and the washing machine just wouldn’t stop. It washed over and over. We couldn’t get the door open. We left the next day with a load of wet washing! New clothes came out looking old as they were continually washing & spinning over and over.

The apartment was huge! Gorgeous big balcony also. the pool was spotless and the staff very friendly.

nothing to do with the property itself but worth mentioning the hills/steps to get into the main town area, we had a double buggy which we gave up using as it was too much to push it back up the hills!! the streets are gorgeous but just a little heads up if taking a buggy

Everything was well organised and the communication before we arrived was excellent. The apartment furnishings were very comfy and it was a short walk to the town centre.

A few more basic provisions in the kitchen like olive oil, salt and pepper would have been useful, but only a very minor inconvenience.
