Casa Mitchell Apartments

After cancellation after cancellation due to covid regulations we chose to try albuferia .. my partner always fancied it and I didn't.. what a mistake I made. We swapped our holiday eventually to albuferia and casa Mitchell.. we looked on trip advisor and saw the brilliant rating but wondered why it had that good as the pictured were not the best .. how wrong we were as the pictures and reviews could not do this place justice. We were given 2 rooms one for me and my partner one for our boys who are 24 and 20 .. the rooms were huge and had every thing you need for self catering. I must add we always go all inclusive but we were so glad we tried self catering and would do this again in a heartbeat to this place. The pool area is the the cleanest we have ever visited and the social distancing well adhered too. There is restaurants only a few mins walk away and supermarkets dotted around . We chose to take a uber to Aldi and stocked up. Cost us about £9 round trip. Beach is a 5 to 10 min walk away depending on your walk speed. Beach is stunning. Casa Mitchell has free WiFi and while the pool isn't massive it's brilliant .. the amount rooms means less people fighting for sun beds. Each room is diffrent .. we have room 66 with a huge balcony 2 sunloungers and out door table and chairs and sun umbrella .. my boys had room 52 they overlooked the pool and had a lovely outdoor area.. every room was supplied with padded blue covers for the sun loungers and it was polite to ensure you took these back to your room and tidied your area around the pool .. the owners spent a lot of time cleaner the pool area and this all added to the fact this little gem has a 4.5 rating on here. The entrance has a book cabinet with 100s of good books .. I brought 2 with me but after seeing what they had I swapped my 2 for 2 of theirs and have already returned one I've read. We found a lovely restaurant called restaurant 54 the food was divine and plenty of places to book trips. The square on a night has live music and is fun and plenty of shops. All I can say is this place should get 5plus for its location .. cleanliness and ambience with lovely owners and we have only been here 3 days and are well travelled .. thank you casa Mitchell for restoring our faith in self catering holidays

We have just returned from a lovely relaxing week. We arrived late morning, and were shown to our one bedroom apartment by Carla, it was very spacious, spotless and due to the current situation you kept your own cushions for the sun beds. There was no need to get up early to reserve sun beds, and as adults only it was totally relaxing. The old town was only a five minute walk (although felt longer on the walk uphill back!) this could be helped by popping into a few bars! The beach was about the same. Great time, would not hesitate in returning!

Nice welcome by Carla with useful local info and advice on arrival set the tone. We stayed in a studio apartment, room 52. Spacious , clean and comfortable. Close to and overlooking the pool, ground floor balcony which was just perfect to chill with a Wine or Tea ...your choice? Hob is a little dated but clean and serviceable. Same with bathroom.Most bits needed for a good S/C holiday on offer. The sense of serenity is infectious. Easy atmosphere to make friends. No bar or lifeguard, but thats no issue.... you sort this yourself. AC was efficient and included! Safe €10 per week. Location is great to visit a good variety of bars, the old town, beach and varied restaurants with delicious food. All within a 15 minute walk and some only a couple of minutes. Nice blend of Portuguese and overseas tourists afford a safe, and pleasant ambience with something for all. A lovely place and a jewel in The Albufeira crown. We will go back !
