Very well-equipped apartment with the benefit of having available the facilities of the Pestana Viking Hotel. Particularly appreciated their most friendly and helpful staff, the indoor pool and the handy free shuttle service to Armacao de Pera.

My family and I stayed in a beautiful two bed apartment in a peaceful and beautiful setting overlooking the garden and sea where we listened to the waves on the beach whilst enjoying meals on the balcony. Lovely pool areas together with sun terraces where we spent most of our holiday basking in the sun. Would certainly visit again.

had a really great stay here. were given keys to a couple of apartments ground floor and top, to see what we preferred which was a lovely touch. very clean and quiet and the ground floor one which we chose, had a great enclosed garden area for our son to play safely in. no negative sides at all. great value...

We booked this condo through RCI so I can not comment on value. This property is attached to the Pestana Viking, where we checked in, and went for dinner, and used their indoor pool. I was told during the high season Porches Praia has its own check in and its own outdoor pool. Even so, the Viking (Pestana staff) was... More

We have been visiting these apartments for the last 3 years. We visited for the first time in 2008 when on holiday in Albefura and were immediately impressed not only with the apartments on offer but with the fact that we could use the facilities of the neighbouring Pestana Viking Hotel. We went back for a second time whilst on... More

It was advertised as a garden view but we got a sea view. The room was well decorated, clean and had comfortable furniture. The kitchen was well equipped. Nice location. It is a... More

We arrived about 10:00am and our room was not ready until about 2:00pm, which was fine so we were able to hang around and check out the facilities at the Pestana Viking Resort, which were typical of a Pestana 4* Hotel. The Pool area was crowded and there were no free sun beds and packed with children. Our actual accommodation... More

I was sure I had posted a review here before - it's not the sort of place you forget in a hurry. We ended up here by pure accident (long story) two years ago and bought a Holiday Ownership. We've been here twice and I'm already dying to get back next year. To my family this place is ideal. Quiet,... More

we stayed here last july and had a great time. we were in a garden view apartment which was just fantastic for the kids [6 year old and 1.5 yr old].. the gardens are actually closed in by gates at the other end so was safe for kids to play. we had a one bedroom apartment which was very spacious....
