Baluarte da Vila Apartments

They have 5Litre water bottles in the reception. That's about it. Oh and a semi decent view of Meia Preia beach in fairness.

Towels that were meant to be changed three times during our stay were not. The place is nice but grubby - looks like a decent cleaner needs hiring. Toilet roll is in short supply and dustbins were never changed nor was there somewhere to put any rubbish.

The pool and the jacuzzi are a great added bonus. Location was very good as well.

The rooms could definitely be a bit cleaner.

The price, the pool, location and the freedom to come and go as you please without being annoyed by front counter staff. Fridge, toaster, balcony, cooktop & microwave all good.

We asked for a double and got twin beds (no other room around), rooms need an upgrade - broken and stained tiles, it just seemed unloved - but this was all expected due to the price we paid. It is self-contained but I expected dishwashing detergent and a dishcloth to be provided. No wii-fi available, but that was expected.

The character of the building.Location. Cleanliness of apartment.Constant hot water.

No one to meet you when you get there.Had to ring a phone number left on the door and wait 10 mins for someone to let us in.Towels not changed at all throughout the week.
