OUTSTANDING TRADITIONAL VILLA WITH LARGE PRIVATE HEATABLE POOL, WIFI & AC

We waren een groep van 8 vrienden uit Nederland voor de eerste keer in Albufeira om een verjaardag van een groepslid te vieren. We hebben erg genoten van Albufeira. We hadden veel plezier. Het huis ligt op loopafstand van de bars, we hadden geen taxi nodig. We hebben echter de transportservice van de algarve vacation gebruikt om ons vanaf de luchthaven van Faro naar het huis te brengen.

Over het algemeen waren we dol op Albufeira en het huis.

We really enjoyed your fabulous and well-equipped house. The villa was well looked after. Big beautiful garden, good size pool. Walking distance into Albufeira, to the shops and the beach, we didn’t need a car and had a very relaxed holiday.

My family had a fantastic holiday and the villa was the main reason why

This is a lovely villa & the pool/lounging area were great. It's in a nice area close enough to walk to bars & restaurants & the local supermarkets.

Lidl & Aldi supermarkets are further away, but if you don't hire a car there are plenty of cheap taxis. We used the Albufera Sol, which is just across the street as our start/end destination for taxis, easier than trying to describe where the villa was.

We were a family of six adults & there was plenty of space, we ate out most nights, there are lots of great restaurants, did a barbecue once, which was a great success & cooked breakfast every morning, the kitchen was well stocked with kitchen equipment (bring your own condiments!)

The 'old town' is well worth a visit, just to walk around or have a meal, you could walk, but its about 20 mins, taxi was only about 8 euros.

We had a hire car & went to see the Benagil Caves approx 35 minutes drive, did a short boat trip & kayaking & spent a fabulous day on the beach there. There is a great walk up above & around the caves, really worth the trip, we didn't book anything till we got there & it was very reasonable. If you don't have a car you can book on the street locally, or online & get picked up.

We were there in May & it was beautiful in the daytime, but rather chilly in the evenings, so a light sweater is definitely required!

I would certainly recommend this villa, only very minor cons were the beds were rather firm & the towels very rough!

We spent a week in this good villa in April. The location was great, close to all amenities, but in a quiet cul-de-sac. The pool is very large, and is 1.5Metres deep to 2Metres deep. We made good use of the kitchen, as the supermarkets are within walking distance. There are some good restaurants close by, I can recommend Curry Leaves, and Taco & Burrito. There are local shops that you can buy inflatables for the kids to make good use of the pool.

You can also get to 'The Strip' within a few minutes if you want, by car/taxi. The agent who met us at the villa on arrival, was superb, many thanks Carlos! There is a small shopping complex a few miles down the main rd, with a McDonalds and KFC across the rd.

I would recommend you go a few miles further, to Albufeira old town, it is a good day out with the family.

The only negatives I can mention;

Iron & Ironing Board rather old

Quite cool in the villa in the evening, in the low season, take a warm top/robe! There are air con/heater units in the bedrooms, none in the main seating area though.

Overall, I would recommend this villa, especially in the warmer seasons! Great location for everything, yet not too close! Found the Intermarche Supermarket which is a 5 minute walk up the main rd, was great. Spoilt for choice as far as eating out goes locally too.
