Vernon - Somerset
vernela Somerset Review Submitted: October 16, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009 First class apartment, first class service, exceeded all our expectations. We have just returned from our holiday at this wonderful apartment. It is so well presented and spotlessly clean and so well appointed with every cooking implement and utensil you could wish for. I am slightly disabled, and had no trouble in negotiating all accesses to the apartment, resort and town. The booking process was so easy too, and the owner kept in regular contact, which was very reassuring. The owners have gone out of their way to ensure that their clients have a good holiday. The only thing they can't guarantee is the weather, which was also excellent.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this first class apartment in a great location. It was extremely spacious,clean and luxurious and with the air conditioning it provided the whole family with a comfortable, relaxing environment in which to chill out. The owners were very friendly and gave information which was really reassuring. The host Jose gave us an excellent welcome and was most helpful throughout our stay. This was a fabulous, relaxed holiday and we thank the owners for contributing to this with their fabulous accommodation ! We look forward to visiting Parque Da Corcovado again. Recommended for: Sightseeing, Families with Teenagers Fantastic Apartment Pamela, Nigel, Kerry and Ryan Northern Ireland Review Submitted: August 1, 2010 Date of Stay: July 2010 Just returned from our first holiday in Portugal and our first independently booked holiday at this wonderful apartment. What has been described and what you see in the photographs is exactly what you get. The owner kept regularly in touch from the initial contact which i found to be very reassuring. When we arrived around 1.30pm the apartment wasnt quite ready, but the very friendly representative showed us around and allowed us to leave our cases so we could have a look around or go to the pool. As we had a 16 & 18 year old with us, we were given 2 sets of keys which was fantastic as it meant we could go our separate ways each day. They preferred to stay at the pool while us adults preferred the beach, which was 20-30 min walk away. There are 3 keys, 1 for main access into block, 1 to access the pool area and 1 for apartment. The pool area was very busy and it was quite difficult at times to get sunbeds/parasols, although i do appreciate this was peak season. We noticed guests had family/friends staying in other blocks but brought them to the main pool each day. We also noticed security patrolling often and if towels were reserved on the sunbeds when the owners werent present, the towels were removed. We found the location to be perfect. Only 10 mins walk to strip, yet far enough away for peace and quiet, or 10mins by taxi to old town which is a must-see. Plently of shops, bars and restaurants nearby. We found the traditional Portugese restaurants to be the best for value and quality. As a rule we usually dont tend to return to the same resort twice, but this apartment is the exception to the rule. Have already recommended to family and friends and look forward to returning ourselves in the near future. Overall a fantastic holiday, fantastic weather and a fantastic apartment.

It was absolutely superb. We have been to several different holiday destinations where the accomodation has always been at best fair. However, this apartment was spot on. It is very secure, clean, very well furnished including Sky/UK TV, the kitchen very well equiped. There is a library and DVD collection in the apartment and a red folder detailing all you need to know about the apartment, the town, maps and recommendadtions of where to eat and vist. The management agent Jose was very obliging and catered for any requests made. The neighbours were very nice and it is a mixture of family groups of all ages. The security around the complex both during the day and night is first class Now, the air conditioning, what can I say, it was fabulous. Before we went on holiday this year, we had already decided to skip next year and have a short break at home. However, we were so impressed with the apartment and the old town that on our return home to Ireland last weekend we decided to book it again for next year, Recommended for: Tourists without a Car, Sightseeing, Families with Teenagers, Families with Young Children Review N & G RCT Review Submitted: July 6, 2010 Date of Stay: June 2010 The apartment is equipped and finished to a high standard which made it a very enjoyable , relaxing place to stay. It is situated in a quiet, clean and secure complex with its own pool and loungers.The busy strip is a short walk away and there is a quieter street running parallel to it. Between them they offer a wide range of restaurants, bars and tourist shops to suit all budgets and preferences. The owner and management agent take all the anxiety out of booking a holiday yourself as they are very approachable and informative. Recommended for: Families with Young Children Corcovada 5* Luxury Accomodation Dave, Jo & Lara Thornton-cleveleys, Lancashire Review Submitted: September 14, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009 This was the first independent holiday ive booked for my family and must say i was imressed with the communications with the owner upto the date we departed by text and email as it made us feel assured everything was inorder. We were met by the representative who showed us around the rooms and was suprised by the size and quality of the apartment. There was only 3 of us but it would comfatably accomodate 4-5. The finish was superb and furnished to a very high standard with all modern appliances and everything you need even down to Mr. Men plates for our 2 yr old daughter. The pool area was great with plenty of sun lounges as well as a kids pool. The walk to the strip wasnt far considering we had a buggy to push and neither was the nearest supermarkets to stock up on the essentials. We would recomment this to anyone who want a relaxing break and enjoys a good walk.

The food here was reasonable and enjoyable, which wiled away time whilst waiting for the key. The appartment is fully equipped with everything you can think of to make your stay enjoyable, and it certainly felt like home. The information file was very useful from advising on how to use the washing machine to nice places to eat. We all enjoyed family time playing the range of games left in the appt. The pool at the appartment was great and our children spent hours enjoying the water and sun shine on their inflatables which are allowed in the pool, the only downside to the pool, at the time we stayed in the summer holdiays (august) was that the pool side was very busy and frequently you were searching for beds and umbrellas with them often being occupied all day, or people leaving their towels on beds which the information leaflet advised us was not appropriate. The appartments were in walking distance from the restaurants, bars, supermarkets and beach. Local buses were regular and stopped near by and we would use them on a return visit,The weather fantastic every day - what more could you ask for! We would definately rebook to return. we very much enjoyed our first vsist to Portugal.

All mod cons and as comfortable as you could wish for, right next to pool which is a bonus. Both owner and complex management could not have been more helpful. Although only 10 mins from strip the location is very quiet and peaceful, there are plenty of places to eat which are very good. Scare storys about prices were unfounded and everything was reasonably priced. Would definately use this apartment again and recommend it to others.
