Pestana Porches Praia - Porches, Portugal 

Just returned from holiday, the apartment was fabulous and well worth the 4* rating. The maid service was everyday and thorough with clean towels daily and bedding 3 times a week. We stayed bed and breakfast and there was a good selection of food and the staff were very helpful if you required anything else. Overall we had a happy and comfortable stay and would recommend the garden apartments for any one with children as these were perfect for playing. The beaches are a 5 minute walk from the apartments and were lovely and safe for children. A few restaurants near by which are good for a week stay but if you you are staying for 2 weeks and wanted to try someting different everynight you may need to drive.

Just got back from a weeks stay at the Pestana Porches with my parents & my two & a half year old daughter. After reading the fantastic reviews on Trip Advisor we booked a two bedroom apartment with sea view on a b&b basis and we were not disapointed. The accomodation was superb and of top quality. The towels & linen were changed daily and the apartment was very modern & spacious(almost like a hotel suite!.) The large terrace overlooked the ocean & was within walking distance of all the hotel amenities. In the hotel complex itself there are two restaraunts & also a poolside bar serving food. Outside the hotel there are four or five restaurants within walking distance including a brilliant sea food restaurant on the beach directly below the aparment. The hotel has a free kids club which is for 4-10 year olds but you can take younger children in as long as you stay with them ( something that my daughter really enjoyed.) The location of the complex is pretty quiet so not the place to stay if you are looking for very lively evenings out but great for a relaxing & laid back holiday. We spoke to other guests who were staying in the hotel itself & their rooms were small in comparison to our luxury apartment . There are two excellent beaches within walking distance but both are reached down steep hills so not great for the less mobile. Overall a wonderful family holiday. Would highly recommend these apartments & would love to go again.
