Fantastic Villa Near the Beach
We had a fantastic stay at Villa Molucas. The villa was spacious, comfortable, and perfect for our group, with plenty of room for everyone. The pool and outdoor dining area were great for relaxing during the day, and the games room with the snooker table was a big hit in the evenings. The location was excellent, close to beautiful beaches and restaurants.

Fantastic villa for a group holiday
We had an amazing stay at Villa Molucas. The villa was spacious, very clean and perfect for our group, with plenty of privacy thanks to all the en suite bedrooms. The pool area was fantastic and got sun all day, while the barbecue and outdoor dining space were great for evenings together. We also really enjoyed the games room. The location was excellent, close to beautiful beaches, restaurants and shops. We would definitely recommend this villa for a relaxing holiday in Albufeira.

Stunning villa for large groups!
We had a fantastic stay at Villa Molucas. With five en-suite bedrooms, everyone in our group had plenty of privacy and comfort. The games room with the snooker table was a huge hit in the evenings, and having two kitchens made organizing our group meals so much easier. We spent most of our days by the sunny pool and walked to the beautiful Castelo and Evaristo beaches nearby. We also had a delicious dinner at Algarbe restaurant, which was the perfect end to our holiday.

Outstanding villa for a large group!
We stayed at Villa Molucas for a family reunion, and it was absolutely perfect. Having every single bedroom en suite made getting ready in the morning incredibly easy and gave everyone their own privacy. The location in São Rafael is brilliant—we could easily walk to several lovely local restaurants and bars, and the stunning beaches of Castelo and Evaristo were just a short stroll away. The kids spent hours in the games room playing snooker, and the pool area is fantastic with sun all day. We couldn't have asked for a better holiday!

Disappointing experience with Algarve Vacations.We booked both a villa and a yacht tour through the company. Unfortunately, our yacht tour was mistakenly cancelled in their system on the day itself, causing us to lose a large part of our holiday waiting and rearranging plans. The tour was moved to the following day, but the restaurant included in the package was closed, and we were promised a refund.In addition, we were charged for 7 days of pool heating despite only staying 3 nights, and this minimum charge was not clearly communicated.The most disappointing part is that after multiple emails and follow-ups over more than two weeks, we still have not received any proper response regarding the refund or our complaint.The villa was nice and the boat crew were excellent, but the lack of communication and aftercare has left us with a negative impression.
The house is in the perfect location and suitable for large groups, I would say the furniture is a little bit dated but didn’t effect our stay! Would happily return 😊

Fantastic Villa!
This villa provided the perfect setting for an unforgettable getaway with friends. The villa itself was equally impressive. Spacious and well-appointed, it comfortably accommodated our group.
From the moment we booked our stay, the staff were attentive and responsive to our needs. Only good things to remenber.

EXCELLENT
A group of friend's stayed in this home and it was just perfect. 5 large bedrooms, 4 with baths and they were all very nice. The home is very clean, lovely inside and the pool area was a wonderful. the kitchen was large so all of us could be in and out of it with ease. The area was very quiet and close to the beach and other restaurants

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
would not stay again
The villa is fine for a large group, looking for a good party house, it is not suited for a family. The decor and furniture is tired and needs some improvements.
The pool area is lovely, the street is nice and it seems a safe area.
VRBO provided a disappointing service! I feel like they charge you for every single thing they can! We wanted an extra single bed and even this came at a charge (later refunded due to my compliant). No flexibility on check in or out time and you have to pay to leave your cases at their office.
To me, it was not personal, it was very corporate and money money money! I would not book with this management company again.
All 11 guests felt the same! And the complaints and negotiations with the office impacted our stay.
Great location. You can easily walk to two beautiful beaches. There are also restaurants and a couple bakeries/ cafes. And it’s a short drive into the city. We loved the calm relaxing feel of this area and enjoyed sitting on the balcony.

Logement très propre et spacieux. Très bien bien situé, à une dizaine de minutes de la plage. Nombreux petits restaurants à proximité.
La personne qui gérait la location était disponible et très réactive.
