Vila Marachique VM-304, family holidays apartment, 2 bedrooms, Air Conditioning

Villa Marachique is a beautiful development with apartment buildings surrounding a lovely landscaped swimming pool. The whole area is enclosed and grassed slopes lead down to the central lagoon style and separate toddlers’ pool with a playground. There is a snack bar by the pool (high season only), an outdoor cloakroom, a great shallow end with beach effect, and the whole area is lovely for families with children.
The magnificent Algarve sunlight illuminate beautiful views from the apartment towards the sea at Alvor and Lagos bay, especially on mornings. The nearby shore offers a large choice of beautiful long sandy beaches and creeks surrounded by golden cliffs, the nearest being within 1.5 km walk.
With more than 3000 sunshine hours yearly, the Algarve generally invite vacationers to laziness on the beach or around the pool, but the area is also excellent with leisure for all: the area is rich of its many activity resources as can be found on the ‘turismo’ site visitalgarve.pt
The excellent Portuguese food is available from about 6 local restaurants and a few groceries within a 5 minute stroll, but the hire of a car open the choice to many more and is recommended when staying at this property. Vila Marachique is 2 km far from the centre of the picturesque but livened up old village of Alvor and of the night-life vibrating centre of Praia-da-Rocha.

ACCOMODATION FOR 5
This is a modern 2 bedroom recently built apartment, with reversible air conditioning, nicely furnished and decorated in a vacation-to-the-sea spirit.
The apartment has a spacious entrance hall (a locked cupboard houses the owners’ personal effects). Directly ahead is the bedroom area with a large double bedroom, fitted wardrobe and en-suite full bathroom. The second bedroom is a triple with 3 full sized single beds (cot available), and there is another full bathroom. To the right of the hall, an archway leads to the spacious sitting/dining room with comfortable seating, dining table and a connected HD television with DVD player.
Patio doors from the sitting room lead out to an external dining terrace with table and chairs and a great view. The very smart fitted kitchen is separated from the main living area by a breakfast bar, and is equipped to a high standard; fridge with freezer compartment, gas and electric oven, dishwasher, microwave oven, plus all the usual equipment. From there, sliding doors lead to an external utility area with a washing machine, additional fridge and drying terrace.

SERVICES
The apartment is connected to mains water, gas, electricity, NOS cable TV with many channels in various languages (including English) and true broadband Internet access with WIFI. There is a cleaning service each week or on changeover day. There is a local bus service into Alvor or Portimao, but a taxi might be cheaper especially if there are 4 of you. For car renters, there is parking space available outside the block.
During your stay at this apartment building, you'll be within walking distance of Hospital Alvor. An outdoor pool, a water park, and a hot tub are available. Enjoy your stay with amenities like free WiFi and a kitchen in the apartment.

Excellent Location

Great location with a large pool. Having to take sun parasols to the swimming pool was rather annoying but apart from that it was a well appointed apartment. The single beds were very hard and best suited to children.

Lovely apartment but not suitable for young children.

Vila Marachique is a perfect place for children. The apartment is lovely and contains everything needed. My only criticism is that we could not go on to the balcony as the safety grid does not go all the way down, there is a gap large enough for a young child to climb through, which needs to be addressed.

Lovely apartment, fantastic pool

Spent 10 days at this apartment with my best friend. It was spotlessly clean, very well equipped and tastefully decorated. It should be noted that the complex is about 1 mile from the centre of Alvor but is an easy walk along the main road. The pool, pool area and bar are fantastic, despite the amount of apartments it was never crowded although our stay was in early September after the UK school holidays. There are a couple of good restaurants very close by and a small shop for basics. The larger supermarket is in the town. The beach is about a 20 minute walk but there are car parks. Can thoroughly recommend this apartment and the booking process with Home Away is simple and straight forward, the reps in Alvor were lovely and I am sure if we had had any problems would have been very helpful.

Breathtaking view from Apartment

My son and myself had a wonderful 6 day break in our chosen villa, it was home from home in all aspects, so relaxing and well equiped, could not want for anything more. I would highly recommend and definitely would return. We had a car which made it very easy for my son and I to get out and about to explore. Although we only used the pool area once due to the very strong winds we had, it is very clean and well cared for. Thank you,

Beatiful Apartment

We stayed in Vila Marchique in August. It is a beautiful, well equiped apartment in a very well maintained development. The pool and gardens are great for adults and kids alike and there was never any problem getting a bed. Gerard was lovely to deal with. The pool bar was great. The only slight issue is that, certainly if you are travelling with kids in high season, you need a car. Its a good 25 min walk into town which is fine when its cool but with buggy and kids in extreme heat was a little much for our smallies. Once our rental car arrived, it was great. Would highly recommend on that basis..
