The property was lovely and clean, overlooked the pool. Kitchen was well equipped and rooms had Aircon. The WiFi never missed a beat..We where contacted to ensure of our arrival time so everything was prepared. Had the room cleaned a week into the holiday which was nice.Plenty of towels.Supermarket over the road and not too far from the main strip with lots of lovely bars and restaurants. Bus routes around local towns and cities or Ubers and taxis. Lovely long beach so take your pick of a cove or a wide open stretch for a swim

Casa Mateos

Casa Mateos is a beautifully presented and comfortable apartment in a great location. Quiet for a relaxing break but close to the town and supermarket. The pool was a great addition and during our stay we had the pool to ourselves. Cláudio was there to greet us and show us around making check-in really smooth. Would definitely recommend this apartment and hope to return next year.

An incredible month in Alvor! Lovely Casa Mateus, a hidden gem; absolute spotless, close enough to walk to the Centro & the beach & far enough to enjoy peace & quiet. Claudio is an amazing host, very hospitable, knowledgeable & accommodating! Then there are the amazing beaches, weather & local people… See u next year.

Summer vacation

We stayed for 10 days in this beautiful and very clean appartement. Perfect location for sightseeing and trips all around the algarve. Beaches near by and only a few minutes of walking to the center of Alvor. The appartement had everything we needed. Some of the dishes could be renewed. The pool itself was clean, the area around it just ok. New lounge chairs would have been nice. I would definately book this place again.

Another beautiful stay @ Casa Mateus. As before, the apartment is spotless. Claudio, the gracious host is personable, accommodating & knowledgeable! The only good thing about leaving is the thought of returning to this lovely Casa next year. Many thanks to Sara in keeping the apartment sparking clean & being patient as I try to learn Portuguese!

Great Apartment

The apartment is great - good size, good layout and well equipped. The pool is lovely and not busy. It's in a great position - slightly out of the centre so it is quiet but only a short walk (5 minutes) takes you into the thick of everything. 15 - 20 minute walk to the beach. There was building working on near the apartment when we were there and it was noisy at times but that will be finished soon so will not be an issue for long. Claudio was a great host too.

2nd Visit to Casa Mateus

We stayed here last year. Perfect for a family holiday, that's why we returned! Lots of new updates; Smart TV, Coffee Machine, Extra Air-conditioning. Claudio really looks after his apartments and everywhere was very fresh & clean. We were sometimes the only family round the pool. Lovely big terrace/balcony area. Great location, facilities and the team who manage are doing a fabulous job. Thank you for the warm welcome (including the fruit & wine). We will hopefully return sometime in the future.

Have been coming to Alvor for nearly 15 years and first time to stay at Claudios apartment.From initial enquiry to return home everything went smoothly.Claudio was at the airport to take us to Alvor and back again.The property was clean and had most things provided for a self catering stay.Location wise it was right beside pingo supermarket and 5 mins from centre.We will be back in Alvor in August not staying at Claudios but have friends who will be so i would have no hesitation in recommending this property for your stay in Alvor.Joe and Maria

Very spacious comfortable apartment. Really well presented and kitted out. Fruit and wine welcoming basket was a lovely touch.Two minute walk into the town centre. Beach about five minutes further. Fifty yards from a great supermarket. A little noise from builders nearby at times but it’s temporary and we were out for most of the day in any case. Overall a great relaxing break Peter & Ailish

Just as good as we remembered it.

We have just returned from our second visit to Casa Mateus. It was just as good as we remembered it from our first stay 2 years ago. Claudio and his team went out of their way to get the apartment ready for us as we had arrived during the morning. Claudio also collected us at the airport and took us back for our flight home. I can't recommend this apartment enough as it is very central and had everything we needed. Claudio provides excellent service and is always just a phone call away if you need him for anything. We will definitely be returning to Casa Mateus at some time in the future. Thank you Claudio!

Wonderful ☀️

From initial enquiry, booking and finally arriving nothing was too much trouble. We were given an extremely warm welcome by Claudio & the fruit and wine were hugely appreciated. We have been to Alvor a number of times but not to this apartment. Great location, peaceful but very close to a supermarket and village is a 5 minute walk. Lots of restaurants and nice walks nearby. The apartment looks great on website/photos but is even better when you arrive. Very clean & well equipped. We wanted for nothing. Claudio was at hand if required & extremely helpful. We would not hesitate to recommend this property and will definitely return. Thank you Claudio & Ana for providing us with a great apartment and brilliant service.

Comfortable apartment

A comfortable 2 bed apartment, owned by a very helpful and friendly family. The welcome was very warm, as was the apartment with the wood burning fire being lit, as well as a nice welcome pack of basic foods, fruit and wine. The living room was also nicely decorated for Xmas. The living areas and bedrooms are very nice and comfortable and the property has a good size balcony that gets sun in the afternoon. We thought the bathrooms let the property down some what. Old fashioned shower curtains rather than screens and a number of cracked tiles and holes in the walls where fittings had been removed. The owner had said he hoped the work on the adjoining building site would be finished by the time we arrived. Unfortunately that was not the case. At times it was rather noisy, especially if sitting on the balcony. I guess in 3 or 4 months most of the work should be finished. On Xmas eve the owner and his wife visited us and gave us a Portuguese Xmas Cake which was very kind. He also dealt very quickly when we had a problem with the hot water and called to say good bye just before we left.
