Tropical Sol Apartments

Tropical Sol Apartments details

“Looking for a pad with a pool? Then call off the search. The attractive Tropical Sol Aparthotel is just the ticket.”

A whitewashed cluster of apartments topped with terracotta roofs and cutesy chimneys - this place couldn’t get any more Mediterranean if it tried. And this feeling continues inside. These spacious holiday homes are simple, bright and fresh with typical Portuguese ‘azulejo’ tiling in the bedrooms.

They’re well-kitted out as well, with fridges, microwaves and electric hobs so you can rustle up some tasty meals to enjoy out on your terrace or balcony. And on the subject of food, there’s a handy mini-market and bakery just around the corner, not to mention an on-site pool bar serving up snacks like rolls, burgers and omelettes.

If you fancy eating out one night, you’re within easy walking distance of Sao Joao’s lively strip, or you can always pop in a taxi down to the old town where you’ll find plenty more in the way of restaurants, bars and cafés. Or how about a game of tennis out on the floodlit courts, once the sun’s gone down?

Of course, you may just prefer to live life in the slow lane while you’re here, in which case head down to the turquoise slab of pool and sink into a sun-lounger. Surrounded by trees, palms and emerald lawns, the terrace is spot on for a couple of hours’ chill-out time in the sunshine.
