Alto Club, Alvor. Quiet, comfortable apartment in this acclaimed holiday resort

Luxury two bedroom air-conditioned apartment in the 5 star Alto Country Club, one of the premier resorts in the Algarve. The historic fishing village of Alvor, with a large choice of excellent restaurants and shops, is within easy walking distance as are some of the best beaches in Portugal, notably the famous Praia dos Três Irmãos. Alvor is in reality a suburb of Portimao, the largest city in the western Algarve, and the seaside resorts of Praia da Rocha and Lagos are also nearby offering a wide variety of family entertainment.

The apartment, air-conditioned throughout, is spacious and well appointed and offers guests quality and comfortable accommodation. It has been recently renovated with super-fast Wi-Fi (200 Mb/s), satellite TV, remote controlled shutters, double glazed patio doors, sliding mosquito barriers, wood burning log fire, wall mounted electric radiator panels and a new fully equipped modern kitchen. There is a large outside patio area with comfortable recliner chairs and a dining table for 6 people.

The apartment has underground car parking, and is quietly located centrally within the Alto Club, away from the perimeter road, with virtually its own private secluded south west facing garden just across from the indoor swimming pool. The wider Alto Club gardens have been beautifully landscaped with a stunning array of tropical vegetation, waterfalls and ponds well stocked with Koi carp.

Guests also have access to two sun loungers and umbrellas on the Alvor beach situated in front of the Restinga Restaurant on presentation of their resort card which they will receive when first registering with the Alto reception.

The apartment will appeal to families, couples and golfers alike, who can benefit from a 40% discount on green fees at the nearby par 72 Alto golf course, designed by Sir Henry Cotton and managed by the Pestana Group, on presentation of their resort card.

The Club also has a wide range of on-site facilities including a large outdoor pool and a heated indoor pool with changing rooms and sauna. There is also a fully equipped gymnasium with fitness classes, and two flood-lit tennis courts with free use of rackets and balls. There is also a children's playground and paddling pool. A high chair and cot are available on request from the reception for a small weekly hire charge paid to the Alto Club direct.

There are two recently refurbished restaurants, The Thyme restaurant, which has a full à la carte menu and Thyme Out bar serving poolside drinks and snacks. Both are operated by the highly rated family restaurant Ruccula in central Alvor. The restaurant has received numerous accolades and 5 star reviews which can be found on the internet.

The reception will be happy to arrange car hire, airport transfers, cycle hire, picnic hampers and local excursions etc. There are discounts available to guests in many local restaurants on presentation of an Alto Club guest card, as well as on many of the excursions. A full list is available at reception.

The apartment is registered as an approved rental with the Portuguese Tourist Association and has been inspected to ensure that aspects of safety and hygiene are of the required standard. License No. 25915/AL.

Great stay at this apartment. Comfy beds, good shower and everything you need. The patio and gardens were lovely and you can sun bathe on the patio if you didn’t want to go down to the pool. Very close to indoor pool where there are also Sunbeds outside. My only downside was next door had tv loud til midnight but we were generally up til that time. And upstairs were moving furniture around after midnight. Surely that kind of stuff should be done at an earlier time.?? Despite this would definitely recommend and stay again.

Superb
We had a great stay at this property. The property was better than the pictures and everything you could possibly need was available. It was a great location for Alvor and although we had a car, you do not need one. The facilities onsite were superb - there is an inside and outside pool (inside also has a sauna) and plenty of outdoor games available including equipment for the tennis, shuffleboard and putting green. We went out of a dolphin tour which the reception was only too happy to book for us and also gave us directions to the pick up location. I highly recommend this property - we will be returning soon!

Great property with everything you need and want, perhaps other than a bbq, great location and great resort, would love to return again. Very good amenities in the property and throughout the Alto resort. Only slight issue is we would prefer property to be cleaned more frequently during our stay.

Beautifully maintained apartment, we have stayed in a few properties in Alto and this is the nicest. It has been updated to a very high standard and has beautiful personal touches.

Beautiful 5 star vacation property!
This was a first rate vacation home- it was spotlessly clean and fully stocked with everything needed- especially the kitchen!! It was a pleasure to cook in which was required, as at the end of our stay, Alvor, along with the rest of Portugal shut down due to the Covid-19 virus The interior of the home felt warm and inviting Even the patio had comfortable lounge chairs for reading and enjoying the sunny weather! We would definitely return to stay in this property!!

Amazing
We spent the most wonderful week at Paul's apartment. The apartment was clean, spacious and fully equipped. The resort itself was absolutely beautiful with immaculately manicured gardens in a peaceful setting. Our family used both the indoor and outdoor pools which our children enjoyed immensely. We had a lovely meal at Cottons ( the onsite restaurant) and all the staff eete extremely friendly. The location of the apartment is excellent too, a lovely stroll to the beach with dedicated sunbeds and not too far to the nearest supermarket and town for local eateries and shops. We had a fabulous time and wouldn't hesitate to return or recommend to others. 5*

Simply perfect
As a family, we've been traveling to Alvor for five years. Our usual accommodation wasn't available so. I came upon Pauls. From the start everything about the apartment was perfect. The location is amazing, just a short stroll from the village, beach and local amenities, but. yet within its grounds, we felt so secluded and peaceful we could have been miles away from anywhere. The use of bed and umbrella on the beach is a lovely benefit and we never had a problem getting them. The accommodation is very spacious, beautifully decorated and the kitchen is packed with everything one needs (not that I cooked too much !!) . I loved the grounds that are manicured to perfection and the resident turtles intrigued me, I could have watched them for hours. To sum all up we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this apartment and I will definitely be booking again. Many thanks, Paul for allowing us to stay.

A perfect three weeks
This is the nicest unit in the nicest complex close to Alvor and the beach. We chose the last three weeks of March because we like the quiet and the cooler temperatures. The apartment has everything you need and the friendly staff are always willing to help. We lucked out with 21 days of sunshine all in the low 20sC! We did take advantage of the fireplace on two of the cooler evenings. The indoor pool is close by and was perfect for lap swimming. The grounds are extremely well cared for. Paul is responsive to any questions or concerns and provided all the information we needed to enjoy our stay. With luck we will be back next year.

A GREAT HOLIDAY IN A LUXURY APARTMENT
This apartment 34F is in the Alto Golf and Country Club in Alvor Portugal. This superb apartment in an ideal location is close to shops and beaches in Alvor. The apartment is very clean and tastefully decorated and furnished to a very high standard by the owners and is in the same condition as it was when we stayed here two years ago. The Alto Golf and Country Club has many facilities including an outdoor and indoor pool, restaurant, snack bar and tennis courts. When you stay in this luxury apartment you are entitled to use one umbrella and two sun beds on the beach at Alvor near to the Restinga Restaurant. These sunbeds are free of charge but you have to go early as there are only a limited number. The apartment itself has very efficient air-conditioning in the lounge/dining room and both bedrooms. We did not use the air-conditioning much as the apartment stays quite cool during the day when the electric blinds are lowered. It is recommended to keep the blinds down during the day not only because it keeps the apartment cool but also gives it that bit of extra security. The kitchen is fully fitted with fridge/freezer, induction hob, electric oven, washing machine, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, electronic safe etc. There is also satellite TV, Wi Fi and a very nice patio area with six chairs and a table along with sun loungers as well. It is very pleasant to sit on the patio in the morning to have breakfast. In the afternoon the sun shines directly on the patio so it is ideal for sun bathing although somewhat too hot to sit outside to have a meal until the sun has set. Adjoining the patio is a very pleasant garden which is well looked after by the staff of the Alto club. The apartment has its own dedicated parking area in the garage beneath the apartment. I think it essential to rent a car at the airport when staying in the Alto club as it is around 67 kms from Faro Airport. The receptionist in the Alto Club was very helpful on our arrival and gave us a lot of useful information regarding the club and facilities. There is also a very comprehensive instruction manual with photos in the apartment on how to use all the appliances. We enjoyed a superb holiday in this luxury apartment and would fully recommend it to anyone who wants a relaxing holiday in Alvor. Many thanks to Paul Miller This is a ground floor apartment in a golf and country club

cheeky week
Overall it is probably the best equipped self catering property we have stayed in. 3 different ways to make coffee, and that does not include instant! The property is very clean. Everything is close by, bars and restaurants within an easy walk. The beach another easy walk, immaculately clean, and not busy. The only downside is that we needed more to do, there are only so many times you can walk around a small shopping area before boredom sets in. We booked the catamaran, half day, excellent. The walking on the boardwalk and beach is very good. That is about it. Great place to go if you want to wind down and relax.

Superb well equiped apartment on a quiet complex in Alvor.
We have just returned from an eleven night stay in this superb well equipped apartment. The recent refurbishment has been done to a very high standard and has everything that you are likely to need during your stay. The apartment has a large terrace with ample seating and sun loungers overlooking the well cared for gardens. The electric shutters give extra security as well as keeping the apartment cool during the day. Alvor is one of our favourite places to visit, a very traditional fishing village with a variety of restaurants and a fantastic beach. This apartment is one of the best we have stayed at in Alvor and we look forward to returning again next year. Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely apartment.
