The apartment is located in Parchal, which is at the border of Portimao and Ferragudo. You can see the mountains of Monchique from the studio. It's a 15 minutes walk to Ferragudo which is an old fishermen's village and known for its charming little streets. Portimao has all the city amenities you need with the famous Praia da Rocha about 40 minutes walk and 10 minutes on taxi. The immediate neighborhood of the apartment has no skyscrapers and mostly houses. The area is very green and a few minutes walk will take you to Pestana golf courses.
The apartment is in a two storey building with only four apartments. Our apartment is on the top floor. Note that there is no elevator in the building. There is enough free parking in the area and also dedicated parking space behind the building.
We have two working desks and two ergonomic chairs to work on (and an external monitor). We have a proper oven in our kitchen.You will also have access to a slow cooker, electric induction plates, blender and full kitchen. We like to cook at home as well.
Our apartment is on the 1st floor of the building (which is also the last floor). In the building there are 4 apartments in total. 2 on the ground floor and 2 on our floor. Our apartment also has a private terrace on the roof. There you will have a pergola, dining table and chairs and garden couches to hang out. You can also do bbq using charcoal there. There is a small storage next to our terrace as well. In the apartment there are 2 balconies as well.
The apartment has a living area of 106 sqm.
The apartment is heated and cooled by wall mounted air conditioner. There is one in the living room and in the 2 bedrooms. The 3rd bedroom we use as an office and does not have heating. If you would prefer, we can put an electric heater there. There is also an electric wood pellet burner in the leaving room which gives a very aesthetic element to the living area but we find it too loud for our taste. The air conditioners have always been more than enough.
There are 3 big supermarkets 20 minutes walk away - lidl, continente and aldi. All 3 next to each other. In Algarve I would recommend getting a car though. It makes day to day life much easier. And winter months there is much less traffic and peaceful roads.

Every time you rent through Flatio, you're automatically covered by our StayProtection package.
By booking this property, you'll also enjoy extended protection in the form of Stay Benefits - a unique offering backed by AXA! Here's what such packaging includes:
Once you send a booking request, the host is notified that you are interested in their listing. From that moment, they have 24 hours to approve or reject your booking.
Hosts are mainly interested in the profile of their guest. Do not forget to fill in all necessary information, add your profile picture, or even make a short video about yourself. Doing that will make you more attractive for the owner and your booking will more likely get approved.
You can take a look at the contract in advance and online with every listing. After you sign it, you will find it in the application My Housing.
While arranging a contract on Flatio, you do not have to worry that it could be disadvantageous for you. Our contracts are made so that we avoid all problems! All of them are the same, used by all the hosts on Flatio.
Your time is precious. That's why we've added a virtual tour option to our platform so you can see some of the rentals listed on Flatio from the comfort of your own home.
If a virtual tour isn't available for the accommodation you've chosen, you can contact the host and ask them if they're willing to give you a personal tour of the rental unit.
In the event that you move in and the rented accommodation doesn't match the information on Flatio, let us know as soon as possible!
If the conditions for the withdrawal are met and the host can't fix the issue immediately, you have the option to withdraw from the lease agreement with a full refund. We'll also actively help you find an alternative accommodation and remain by your side until everything is fully resolved.
You can read the conditions and all details about our Move-in Guarantee in this article of our Help Center.
How you can cancel a booking varies depending on what stage the booking is in.
Is your booking request still waiting for host approval? Then you can simply cancel it directly from your My Housing web app!
However, suppose the owner has already approved your booking request, and you are no longer interested in it. In that case, you can still cancel the booking before you sign the lease agreement. Just consider that you should do this only in essential cases. Because when the host accepts your booking, the property is stopped being advertised, and they can lose the chance to rent their property to someone else.
Do you have an approved booking and also a valid agreement? In order to cancel your booking, contact Flatio customer support well in advance of your contract beginning (the specific time and amount of refund depends on the type of cancelation policy).
