Villa Albuar

Behulpzame en vriendelijke host, prachtige locatie met fantastisch uitzicht. Groot huis waar we met 10 collega's konden verblijven. Groot zwembad, heerlijke jacuzzi en een mooie bbq plek, meer hadden we niet nodig.

De stroom en wifi vielen soms uit, maar dat kwam omdat ze bezig waren met de installatie van zonnepanelen. Dit zal in andere weken niet zo zijn en dan valt er niks tegen.

The house was huge, with more than enough room for the eight of us. The outside was so wonderful! Million dollar view, great pool, luxurious jacuzzi, (worth the extra cost) pool table and ping pong table. We really enjoyed our time enjoying the outdoors. We had a car which made it very easy to explore the entire Algarve coast. Miguel was a fantastic host and took great care of us.

The house was older and had it’s challenges as the doors were sometimes difficult to open, older decor and some of the beds need better mattresses, but in saying that, it was very clean and met all of our needs. Everything you need for the great price, if you are not as particular about the indoor aesthetics but want a great outside area.

Property was amazing, a lot of reviews saying outdated but there is everything you need there and all the facilities were amazing. I don’t believe there is another villa in albufeira that has the same facilities for the price. No deposit needed as-well which was a massive plus. Check in was super easy and having fresh towels and bed sheets every couple days was lovely! Overall we had a lovely time!

Some of the sliding doors were a bit clanky and hard to use and would take ages to lock.

The villa was fantastic if rather tired. But everything worked

N/a

Very big villa.

No manuals so had to guess how to operate machines. No local information. It's old and needs a deep clean and many repairs.

Great location - easy walk to local coves/beaches, also walk to the Marina and lots of bars/restaurants. Only 5/10mins into Gale or Albufeira by taxi/uber. Communication with Miguel was always quick and helpful - would defo return :)

Location was lovely great views

The villa is great for larger groups and families. Having en suites was a great help in the morning! I've seen reviews that were critical of the villa, and yes, it is very traditional in style rather than contemporary, but it is clean and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped, and the barbecue made for a lovely, relaxing evening. The hot tub, with the views out to the Atlantic, was amazing.

We visited in March, and not all bars and restaurants in the area were open at the time, though we appreciate that this is out of the hands of the villa operators. Even so, it is quiet, if you don't like to be in amongst it, and I'd say it'd still be quiet during peak season. Albufeira old town is accessible by bus, the stops are very close by, and an Uber wasn't too expensive (cheaper than the bus when split between the riders.) We would also say that if you hire a large car, use the space at the back where the garage is, as the front drive is a tight squeeze!
