Villa with plenty of room for our needs (7 adults) 5/10 mins from restaurants and bars, 10 mins walk to beautiful beaches.We used the pool everyday. Rodrigo recommended a few places to go and experience, all of which were good.The villa and pool area are a bit tired but this didn't affect our lovely holiday.
Amazing property, had absolutely everything we needed. Pool was awesome, so close to a couple beaches, the grocery store and across the street was a great pastry shop. Everything we wanted to do was within a 15-30 minute uber ride. Will Definitely be back!!
This Villa was ideal for us. Location is perfect with beaches, supermarkets, restaurants etc all within easy walking distance. Yes, some areas of the villa could do with updating but the terrific facilities far outweigh the minor issues. As other posters have said , Rodrigo is a great host. Really nice guy, helpful & easy to contact. We all want to go back!
We stayed at the villa for 17 nights over the Easter holidays, my family of 4, 2 adults and 2 children, joined by various friends and family over the duration. The villa is a fantastic size, easily accommodating our maximum occupancy of 12, with 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and very spacious communal areas, location is fantastic for access to local beaches and amenities, and getting into Albuferia old town and marina. Rodrigo is very welcoming and accommodating, with the heated pool (which is especially great for the kids) being covered each night, he is available to check in with you and ensure everything is going well, also a special mention for Andrea who sorted out our various comings and goings with the transfers. Overall a great stay and much appreciated, would definitely recommend
Vills was clean and as described. Airport tranfers and check in were hassle free. Rodrigo was very attentive and helpful. We all had a very enjoyable stay.
Really enjoyed our stay villa has everything you need, is clean however needs a little updating. The area is lovely everything is just a short walk to restaurants and shops, the beach is about 10 minute walk and is beautiful. The owner was very helpful I would book again
Rodrigo was helpful with advise, directions and information whenever we required. It is a very relaxed villa close to the beach, pubs and restaurants. This was our second visit and we'll be back again.
Rodrigo was an amazing owner, attentive to any needs, friendly, helpful hooking us up with people, places, activities in the area ... a super nice guy... AND THE HOUSE WAS AMAZING !!
The owner was really nice and helpful showing us everything we needed to know about the villa the pool was heated and he arranged our transfers which were all included in the price which was great the villa itself was clean but is a bit dated as mentioned by a previous visitor however this didnât spoil our stay.
Had a lovely week in this villa. 11 of us from age 6 to 70. Heated pool was great and ouside dining area was fab. Compact but enough room for us all. Close to beach and we worked out a short cut by the supermarket too. A quiet area with restaurants dotted around and a great cafe over the road. No real shopping street, but we went to Albufeira for the day. over t rewith
Fantastic villa , big rooms , lovey terrace and warm pool. Great for outside entertaining . Very clean and very well equipped. Handy for restaurants, beach is 10 mins beach and lovely . Easy to find a quiet beach but also lots of beach bars . Safe neighbourhood. Easy to get to Albuferia in a taxi âŹ5 in 10 minutes. Great host Rodrigo was very helpful and friendly . I would go again and fantastic value for money.
We were a family of 5 (3teenagers) we had such a great holiday in the villa!
The pool was beautiful and bigger than we expected which was great!
Rodrigo was very respectful and helpful though we had no problems during our stay. There was plenty of space and everything was spotlessly clean. The kitchen had all amenities needed for a relaxing stay and the washing machine meant we could really save on luggage space! Really hope to return again soon. The town was lovely and the beach is spectacular and within walking distance. Iâd highly recommend this place for families. Thanks for a lovely holiday Rodrigo!
Lovely stay in Gale 2 families total 12. Villa in a great location walking distance to beach and some beautiful coves. Apolonia supermarket 5 min walk for daily items. Uber to Aldi for main shop. Colibr 11 across road lovely coffee, buns and icecreams. Restaurants dotted around, all within a short walk and all very good. Cocktail bar across from Mr Singh, Indian very good as well. A very relaxing week. Rodrigo a lovely host and around if needed. Pool heated and a great hit with all. Thankyou for a great holiday thoroughly enjoyed by all.
An older style property in an excellent location and great support from the owner.
We have been visiting the Algarve for 40+ years and this property is of the older traditional style, some of the fittings reflect the age but don't get me wrong the property is fine.
There is excellent internet and local cable TV, TV's in the lounge, kitchen and all the bedrooms and air con throughout.
Rodrigo includes airport transfers for all the visitors (this included family arriving and leaving on different days). He also visits daily to cover and uncover the heated pool.
Directly opposite the property is an excellent pastry/coffee shop that also does snacks. There are a number of restaurants nearby. Apolonia supermarket is a few minutes walk away, Aldi is a 15 minute walk away. We didn't hire a car, there is a bus stop nearby and taxi's and Ubers are plentiful.
I have suggested that Rodrigo shows a floor plan as it is a little difficult to assess the layout of the property with just the photos. There is a double with ensuite, and a separate twin bedroom upstairs with access to a large roof terrace (no sunbeds/chairs) The spiral staircase isn't suited to young children. There is a triple downstairs next to a shower/wc adjacent to the lounge and small kitchen. On the other side of the lounge there are two ensuite bedrooms. There are two outside tables under an awning.
This was an extended family holiday with 7 adults and 4 children and there was plenty of room for everyone!
The Villa clean, spacious and cool with plenty of air conditioning available.
The heated pool was just right as we had children ranging in age from 1 to 7 but still accommodated the adults.
The kitchen was a little tired but very well equipped for the number of guests.
There were 3 child friendly bedrooms downstairs. The 2 bedrooms upstairs were less child friendly due to the stone spiral stairs. It would have been useful to have a floor plan during the booking process as the pictureâs became confusing as to their locations.
The outside eating space was superb and most of it well shaded from the sun.
There was a great cafe quite literally across the road as well as a Chinese restaurant, with other restaurants within easy walking distance. Similarly, the beach (also with a number of restaurants) was only a 10 minute easy walk away.
The owner was very friendly and gave advice on the local area. He also covered to pool at night and uncovered it early morning. The airport transfer being included was an additional bonus.
We all had a great holiday!
We are a family of 7 with 5 kids ranging from 15-20 years old. We had a wonderful stay at this incredibly well equipped villa. It ticks every single box and even a few extra boxes (like aircon in the kitchen)! We've had countless family villa holidays over the years and this villa is by far the best located we've ever stayed at. It is directly opposite a Chinese restaurant (delicious) a cafe/bar and a small shop. The cafe is incredibly good value (burger for âŹ3.80) and so convenient kids would just pop over the road for lunch. The villa is within 10 minutes walk of the beach the (expensive) supermarket and at least 8 restaurants all with great ambience and great food. You do not need a car! Anything a bit further away like Aldi (20 minute walk) or Albufeira you can take an Uber which is never more than a minute or two away. There are Ubers waiting in the Aldi car park and it's a 2 min and âŹ3 Uber back to the villa with your shopping. Albufeira is a 10 minute drive roughly âŹ9. The beach is beautiful one of the best in the algarve. Long and sandy perfect for long walks. There are areas with beach restaurants beds for hire and all the water sports you can think of. I couldn't recommend this villa more!
Muito boa estadiaproprietĂĄrio prestativo Casa proxima de padarias ,supermercado restaurantes e praias,Casa muito bem dividida Ar condicionado em todos os cĂŽmodos incluindo sala e cozinha Nota 10.
We are a family of 8 adults, a 4-year-old & an 8-month-old baby. The Villa is spacious, in an excellent location and easily walkable to local beaches, restaurants & supermarkets.Our first impression was the Villa was a little tired, but it was very clean and had everything we needed, including baby equipment. Lots of items have been replaced since the current website photos.There is a super outdoor space with a heated pool, sun beds and a large wind out awning. We especially liked this area which accommodated us all, with 2 large tables which could be used separately or joined into one huge square table. The 2 upstairs bedrooms (one of which is the twin-bedded room) are reached by a stone spiral staircase which may not be suitable for young children.All airport transfers are included in the price and were arranged by Rodrigo (excellent service provided by Andrea & her husband).Although we had one hire car (for children & car seats), a car is not necessary. Uber Taxis are cheap and readily available, and the Villa is on a bus route to Albufeira.Rodrigo is an excellent host and was very quick to respond to our queries before and during our stay, always going the extra mile to accommodate our needs. He was there to check us in and out of the Villa.Excellent value for money, would recommend and hope to return.
We've just returned from a 2 week stay. The villa was exceptionally clean. I agree with some previous guests regarding it requiring an update but, as we spent our time by the pool, it didn't really affect our stay. Rodrigo is an excellent host...so helpful and attentive. He did everything possible to ensure that we enjoyed our holiday. It's a lovely area...the bus stop being a few yards away, a great chinese restaurant and bakery/cafe opposite and a supermarket a few minutes away. We used Ubers to get around most of the time...they are cheap and efficient.
