Just come back from a very relaxing holiday. The apartment was very large and the balcony is the best in the hotel block! It was like a home from home. As another review has said, the air con in the living area was not good, but we just opened the big sliding patio doors. It wasn't an issue for us and we got some fresh air! Bruno met us on arrival and was very helpful, sending restaurant recommendations and keeping in touch during our stay to make sure all was ok. A very nice personal touch. The wifi was excellent. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need - and more. The pool was a good size for swimming and there were always beds available. There are some big trees near the pool so you can easily get some shade if you need. The last couple of days did start to get a bit busier (from about the 20th July). Vilamoura itself is a lovely area. We were advised to stay away from the restaurants on the marina as they are over-priced. There are lots of great ones just a minute or two from the hotel. Romarina and Salmora were excellent. We were spoilt for choice. The Roman ruins are a couple of minutes walk away and well worth a visit if you are interested in history. All in all a great holiday

Really nice apartment with loads of space to move about in. Letting agent had left a few essential items for our arrival which is always a nice touch. These included some water, tea, coffee, sugar, milk, biscuits and even a bottle of wine. Views and rooms are as represented on the official photos. A few signs of wear and tear around but nothing major. One let down was that there were no beach towels provided, despite these being shown on the loungers in the photos, and the listing stating towels (non specific) were provided. The agent did offer to bring some round for an additional charge but I felt this was a bit cheeky. Another issue was that although the two aircon units in the bedrooms worked extremely well, the one in the main living area did not, and this area often felt uncomfortable. The terrace faces east so you receive sun on the balcony mornings only. Noise is minimal, except for the gardeners who like petrol driven leaf blowers, lawn mowers and such from around breakfast time. We began to feel this was a deliberate ploy to raise other residents from their beds in time for checkout. Receipt of the keys was easy and communication good from booking to departure. The hotel in which the apartment is based is generally a quiet place, and you can always get a sunbed round the pool. Restaurants and bars are within minutes walk as is the supermarket. Wifi was good. Safety deposit was returned without issue in the stated time period. A great stay all in all, but 4/5 due to the towels and aircon.

This is a Fabulous apartment in a perfect location and with just about everything you could possibly want on hand. It's very clean,bright and airy and just a few minutes front the supermarket and Marine area with plenty of restaurants and bars around. We were greeted by Dora and her assistant and they were both very welcoming and presented us with a welcome pack which I thought was very thoughtful and also gave us a detailed account of where everything was. We would highly recommend this apartment and will definitely be back!

Very lovely stay, could do with a few updates to satellite tv, not very easy to use, but we did not watch much tv anyway. the location was great, if you are a walker the beach is a half mile away with spectacular walks. town is underneath the flat literally. The only down side, is the bathroom could use an update, but comfortable enough to use. The flat was quite spectacular, in general though, and we are booking again next year.

Just back from Vilamoura yesterday and would go back to this Apartment in a minute. In a lovely clean complex with plenty cafés nearby. Two minute walk to the marina and very easy reach of the bus stop to Faro and Albufeira. Although in a buzzing area the apartment is very quiet, we couldn't hear any noise at all and slept well every night. Apartment Valerie is very spacious, clean and well equipped with a TV in each of the rooms. Plenty of cooking utensils and crockery, everything you need on a self catering holiday. The free wi-fi was certainly welcomed by my teenage daughter. The property owners were helpful throughout the booking process and called to check that everything was okay on arrival. Pool area was clean with plenty beds for lounging and with 4 restaurants and bars within metres of the foyer we sometimes barely left the immediate area around the apartment. I highly recommend Apartment Valerie, you won't be disappointed.
