Albufeira Mar Vilas

Location, staff how clean it was

Couldn`t complain about anything

Very clean

The beds were terribly uncomfortable, very sore backs all week, other people there said the same thing!!! Also the couch/ sofa bed in the living room was very uncomfortable even to sit on.

Location was excellent and very close to the old town.

The pictures were a bit misleading as there were 5 “villas” I would call them apartments though, this made the pool situation very cramped as there were 10 sun loungers in total so if 2 families were by the pool there simply wasn’t enough room. The beds and pillows were the most uncomfortable I’ve experienced on any holiday, I would wake up with pains everyday. 6 out of the 10 sun loungers were also broken, as were the two parasols so they would constantly blow away with the wind.

Very easy check-in with zero hassle. The staff present were very lovely and always friendly and helpful. The pool was quiet and relaxed for our whole trip. The kitchen was well equipped and stocked with cutlery, we could very easily have cooked dinner for our group of five even without an oven. The tv is modern with a HDMI plug, me and my friends were able to connect a laptop and even play on a switch console. Three bedroom and three bath was heavenly for five people. The showers were my personal favourite,, amazing high pressure and I wish I could've taken it home with me. If you're on the fence about booking I would highly recommend. Outstanding value for money in my opinion. Clean, comfortable and no fuss.

The property is on a hill which wasn't an issue for my group but if someone had mobility issues it could be a cause for concern. It wasn't anything too steep or cumbersome. What would give this property a ten for me is if they had a washing machine for the villa. Overall there wasn't anything I disliked or hated!

Fabulous apartment for all the family or big group. We were in villa 6 at the end so could see the sea from upstairs balconies. It was perfect that all 3 double bedrooms were spacious, had their own bathroom and all had balcony or access to the lovely terrace. Kitchen small but perfectly equipped. Its self catering so we were happy to buy all our own essentials (toilet roll, shower gel, salt, tea, coffee, etc.). Cleaners were lovely and always offering to change beds and towels. Carmen the owner/manager was always available and quick to sort a couple of small issues we had. Sleeping was quiet, cool and comfortable with aircon/heating in all rooms if needed, plus shutters in every room to keep out sunlight if desired. Pool area is lovely, and entire area is very secure with free parking available. Excellent location, walking distance to everything!

Bedrooms need mirrors! Otherwise you can't do hair and makeup in the bedroom if someone is in the bathroom. A simple fix that would make a big difference. These are big family villas and definitely need washine machines! The terrace is lovely but needs sunbeds to be useable on sunny days. There was a dog that barked a lot but it was no huge problem for me.

Great location, lovely pool, spacious rooms.

Very central to everything

We absolutely loved our stay here and would definitely return. It is the perfect location for a family holiday. A short walk to Old town elevators and beach. A lovely clean spacious villa with everything you need. Great quiet pool which our kids loved...we had it to ourselves most times we visited.

It was a little hard to find on arrival. A photo of front gate would have been useful. Although property was clean on arrival and maids were friendly, we were a little disappointed that the bedding wasn't changed and the villa wasn't attended to during our week stay (we were given clean towels though 🙂)

I liked the pool and the villa was very good

The apartments where not soundproof ,are neighbours were very noisy .
