Most beaches are Blue Flag awarded and have amazing rock formations offering super photo opportunities. The property is only a few minutes walk from a selection of excellent restaurants offering Portuguese and International cuisine and scattered around are a selection of chill-out bars and cafes. Theres also a supermarket ‘Apolonia’ nearby. Albufeira old town is a twenty to thirty minute walk away and offers a large variety of restaurants, bars and shopping. (10 minutes by car or taxi)
Salgados golf course is set out on the flat lands behind the sandy beach of Praia de Gale. In fact there are numerous golf courses located across Albufeira and Vilamoura, so there are plenty to choose from. Albufiera marina is near too, wonderful for leisurely strolls admiring the yachts and lined with bars, restaurants and boat excursion opportunities. The Algarve shopping complex is around 10 minutes drive away - a shopper’s must, with clothes, shoe shops and large supermarkets. For families, Zoomarine and Aqualand are approximately 15 to 20 minutes by car.

Great stay!
This is a very lovely property. The location is convenient, the backyard/pool area offers lots of places to sit and is relaxing. Each bedroom has an en-suite bathroom so all guests have privacy. We had a fabulous time! We couldn’t have asked for much more.

Broken utilities ruined our stay
Lack of running water, lack of hot water, air conditioners that dripped water all over the floor. Leaking toilet. Property manager was notified every day of the issues starting on the first day and most of them were never addressed through the entire stay. We were even told to literally use buckets to flush toilets with water from the pool since there was no running water. The water pressure issue ended up being related to a plumbing issue that required a professional service call to fix. The hot water issue was later revealed to be that the local property manager representative was incompetent and never even turned on the hot water heater. I tried to work with the manager and VRBO for a credit for the hassles we experienced but was not offered any resolution. For a very expensive rental advertised as “luxury” this was not at all the experience we were expecting.
