LOTUS VILLA 2, ALBUFEIRA

Location was brilliant

Pool area

Location is brilliant, next to new town and 15 min walk from old town. Pool area & garden size also brilliant, exactly like just the photo.

Little dated, inside needs updating. Issues on arrival regarding broken front door but housekeeper resolved by end of first day. Would make it even more special would be if all the cups, glasses, plates etc were all the same and a bottle of water in fridge on arrival.

The host was cheerful and friendly. Very down to earth and straight to the point.

We really enjoyed the pool and the location. A positive also would be that it has an AC unit in each of the bedrooms beside the living room.

The house was very old and outdated, with a strong smell of mold and a significant ant infestation. We couldn’t leave anything on the tables or counters without attracting ants, and I even found them in my purse daily. The minimal towels provided were heavily worn and appeared unclean. By the pool, one umbrella was missing and the other was broken, leaving only one functional option. The lounge chair covers were also in poor condition and visibly dirty. The property did not provided paper towels, soap nor extra sheets or covers. Overall, the property appeared unkempt and poorly maintained.

The property is located within two minutes walk of the main “strip” with a plethora of restaurants and bars to cater for all tastes. The property boasts a beautiful garden and pool at the rear of the property which although in close proximity to the strip remains private and peaceful. The owners were always on hand responding to queries in a timely manner and the staff were also extremely helpful, showing us round the property on our arrival, and gifting us with fruit, pastries and even a bottle of wine to help celebrate my wife’s birthday. We couldn’t have asked for any more of our stay. There is also an Aldi supermarket for all essentials within a 10 minute walk. All in all, a charming villa in a prime location which made for a very enjoyable holiday.

There was nothing not to like about this property.

It was literally home from home. Everything you could possibly wish for.

Nothing

Pool was fantastic a little chilly at first but once in was lovely and was so peaceful and quite never heard the new town music when Inside. From the owner to the caretaker there was always somewhere there to help if any problems occurred fantastic communication

The villa was lovely very rustic and the old style type if anything maybe abit more modernising inside the villa and a bit of a freshen up but other than that there’s nothing else I can fault
