Alma da Vida Ferragudo0

Gorgeously decorated property located in the middle of the old village. The decor was charming, yet modern. Several different patios throughout the property, offered various settings and one had a great view.  Having a washing machine and dryer available was very convenient. Nice and quiet. 

The double bed. We requested one of those modifications to make it more comfortable for two people, but they said they did not have it. It appears in pictures as a double bed. Also, one patio is located right next to the bedroom window and is not very private.  We used the patio every morning for breakfast, which was very nice, and we greeted other guests coming in from the outside. :)

We rented all the rooms for our stay here. Each one of them were unique, big and very functional. The common outside areas were charming with all the flowers around. We spent a lot of time there and it was memorable. Perfect decoration. We were so surprised! The tenants were very arranging and available. We had all the help we asked for plus some recommandations so it was very nice from them. Highly recommend this guest house. We’ll love to come back!

We had trouble with the hot water in the beginning so we had to take cold showers. Thankfully, it was settled pretty fast.

The high ceilings and the air conditioner. I liked the courtyard and the staff. Great proximity to the beaches, restaurants, and an awesome sunset spot.

TV didn't work. But they did come and fix it. Didn't have a microwave in the room. But they did have one to borrow. Really hard to find at night. Need to get dropped off by uber at the restaurant down the street. Pay close attention to the emailed instructions.

We had a very happy experience at Alma de Vida. It is an old building divided into 4 apartments. It was freshly painted and clean. Our apartment was on the ground floor looking out on the interior courtyard. Climb up the steps to the roof terrace and there is a good view and comfortable seating. But the best thing about Alma da Vida is Piet, who looks after the property. He is Dutch (with impeccable English). He was charming and friendly and was immensely helpful to me (I had medical problems). He is a real treasure and made our stay there memorable. We liked Ferraguda very much. A wise council has decided they don't want highrise concrete hotels and apartment blocks. The result is there is still the character of a fishing village, with old buildings being done up for holiday lets. We went in the first half of April so there were not many vacationers. Two beaches were within easy walking distance but nobody was swimming yet in the cold sea.. There is a café/restaurant just below the apartments which we loved. The owner Salome made many different pastries which we had for breakfast and did a 10 euro dinner with wine that we made full use of. We really enjoyed our time there.

Getting the key in the building's front door was a bit of a challenge! That is not much of a negative.

A very nicely and newly renovated house by owners Miranda and Mo smack in the middle of the Ferragudo village with walking distance to shops, restaurants and beaches. Traditional architecture but fresh and modern inside. My room, the Yellow Room, is about 25 m2 with a large twin bed, an ensuite shower room/WC and even a small kitchenette with fridge, coffe maker etc. Cement floors and an exposed stone wall are very cool as is the double height ceiling with exposed beams. Stove, oven, washer and dryer in the common hallway. There is a wonderful patio and a roof terrace for common use. Last but not least there is Piet. An extraordinary nice and helpful caretaker of the property. When my transfer did not show at the train station Piet collected me. When I was missing soap in my room Piet got some for me. When the 200+ channel TV box did not work Piet restarted it. So don’t be like most people, be like Piet 👏🙂

I loved all of it, but to mention something as a big Viking I would have loved some larger bath towels and also a few more sockets for my electronics.

We loved the yellow apt we stayed in ;from the high wooden ceiling, to the patio overlooking a interesting old town street.(a walking street no cars) The apt has been tastefully restored with all the mod cons we like. We slept well as the patio door were sound proof, and the air con kept us cool. We arrived on a Sunday some of the little grocery store were closed, so it was a nice touch to have water & beer in the fridge. The housekeepers were very helpful in getting us a taxi to our next location on check out.

Nothing

Beautiful apartment, fantastic location, close to main square where there are lots of restaurants. Outside area is great for sunbathing and drinks in the evening. Easy to find and no hassle check in. We would definitely stay again.

The apartment was perfect

so close in location to the town and beach! couldn’t be more central. the decor, cleanliness and size of room was fabulous!

when the shutters are open to let in the light they don’t offer much privacy - a very small comment, we loved our stay

Lovely apartment in the heart of Ferragudo. Less then 2 minutes away from the main square with loads of bars and restaurants yet on a very quiet street. Will definitely be back!

Location

Cooking oven was missing. For a studio not ideal, if u wanna take care of yourself and not having dinner outside every day
