- A beautiful bedroom (20m²), comfortable and air-conditioned, very nicely decorated with large closets and a dresser. The bedding, bed linen, pillows etc. are of high quality. The double bed (180 x 190) or 2 single beds (90 x 190) will be prepared for your arrival.

- A spacious air-conditioned living room with 2 beds (2 convertible sofas of 100 x 200).
The kitchen being open on the living room, curtains have been arranged and are just to be drawn to create a good intimacy, almost like a 2nd large bedroom.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 13 night stay at Casa Helena. The apartment is located in a great location, just steps from old town, and is not only very clean, but very well equipped with everything you need - and more. Helena is a great host and strives to ensure you enjoy your stay. If we return to Albufeira this apartment will be first on our list!

It’s hard to believe our time at Casa Helena has come to an end. We have has such an amazing time here in this beautiful community of Albuferia. The views from Casa Helena have been spectacular. Helena has got to be the best VRBO host I have ever dealt with. The apartment is exactly as it is posted in the listing. It is well stocked , very clean and in a very quiet area of Old Town. Helena is an exceptional communicator often responding within minutes of our messages. It has been a real pleasure to stay here and we would love to come back again.

Such a beautiful apartment, and it was spotless and so well equipped. It is in a very convenient location. Helena gave great directions and instructions. We have stayed in numerous VRBO’s and this was one of our favorites. It was definitely the cleanest we have ever stayed. Sadly due to the weather we were unable to enjoy the beautiful terrace. We hope to return.

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!

Our experience was exceptional. All aspects of the rental exceeded our expectations and provided us with a very enjoyable holiday. The apartment was very clean and every item we could possibly require to enjoy our 2 week stay was included. In particular the kitchen had all the items we required to prepare our own meals and to enjoy the extraordinary ocean view from the spacious patio/deck. A Thankful Canadian couple.

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.

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.
