Our stay at Casa Helena could not have been better! The apartment itself was spacious, comfortable and clean and the location was great! They have everything you need and more (dishes, sheets, towels, beach chairs, etc.) and are very responsive regarding any questions about the area. This is easily one of the best places I have ever rented! I highly recommend a stay at Casa Helena!

Wow, what an amazing time we have had here for our anniversary. The apartment is absolutely beautiful and has everything you need and more. The views from the balcony are amazing to sit and relax with a morning coffee or evening wine. The location is also amazing, close to everything you need, the beach, shops, bars and restaurants are a short stroll away. Helena is a fantastic host, organising our transfers to and from the airport and checking in to make sure everything was ok. I could not recommend this beautiful apartment in a fantastic location enough. I would love to return in the future.

Nous avons adoré notre séjour dans cet appartement à Albufeira ! Il est idéalement situé à distance de marche de la plage et du cœur animé de la ville, tout en restant très calme et reposant.L’appartement est très confortable, impeccablement propre et parfaitement équipé. On sent qu’Helena a le souci du détail, tout est pensé pour que les invités se sentent bien.Elle a été incroyablement attentionnée et toujours disponible, avec beaucoup de gentillesse et de générosité.Le balcon avec vue sur mer a été un vrai coup de cœur : parfait pour les repas en plein air ou pour se détendre face à l’océan.Nous repartons ravis et reconnaissants. C’est une adresse que nous recommandons les yeux fermés !

Albufeira Gem

Helena was a great host and arranged transportation from the Faro Airport to her apartment. The apartment was immaculate and had every amenity that you would ever require. Location was an easy walk to the beach along with restaurants and bars; no need to rent a car. The view from the terrace was beautiful overlooking the Atlantic. We would certainly stay here again.

Charming and Oh So Comfortable

Everything you need, this wonderful rental is beautifully and thoughtfully appointed and decorated. Close to the beach, shops and restaurants but if you want to stay in, the private patio with bbq is perfect! We couldn't have asked for a more responsive hostess in Helena and settled in for our 2+ week stay quickly. It lived up to the description and felt homey and welcoming. Impeccable hospitality!

Fabulous stay!

Helena‘s casa in Albufeira exceeded our expectations! The property was perfectly situated in a very quiet part of town and only five minutes from the hustle and bustle of old town Albufeira. The terrace was perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or an afternoon drink. The views were stunning. The apartment was equipped better than any place we have ever stayed in, no detail or amenity was forgotten. Highly recommend as a beautiful place to stay in the Algarves!

The location was ideal, allowing us to easily access stunning beaches, delicious restaurants, and vibrant nightlife. We enjoyed every moment of our stay.
