We have 2 apartments near Maria Luisa Beach, at Apartamentos da Balaia Resort. All of the apartments are very good for families, like ours - we have 4 kids. Everything needed for a good vacation period is near by, beach at walking distance, restaurants, supermarket, bar and lounge with billiards and tv, 24 hour reception opened for any kind of support needed.
