Thank you Ellen for your review. I stayed in the villa myself after your stay, and I agreed with you regarding the pool. I have addressed this with our maintenance crew and will be getting tiles replaced and a new filter installed soon. I hope this didn’t take away from your experience too much. We always try to address any of these issues as they come up. Thanks for staying with us! -Nick Rowder (owner)

The villa is in a quiet location and well situated for short walk both to the Marina and the old town. Lots of places to eat and the Arte bar next to the Intermarche has a lovely atmosphere with friendly staff and entertainment some nights. The villa is spacious with good air conditioning in each room. Although the villa sleeps 10, there was not enough cutlery, wine glasses, tea towels, sun loungers and the BBQ grill was not usable. Caitlyn was very responsive, providing extra glasses, tea towels, a new BBQ rack, and 2 new sun loungers. When we asked about additional towels we were advised that each person is allocated one bath towel and one hand towel for a week usually, when showering daily this is not enough. Caitlin did provide additional towels when we asked. We were aware of the spiral staircase from the villa details/photos but suggest a gate at the bottom as well as the top would be helpful.There was a drain cover missing around the pool and although we were told this was ordered and the pool maintenance staff would replace, this didn’t appear.Overall the villa needs some TLC, general decorating- particularly where repairs have taken place, deep clean e.g. sofa and rug, kitchen utensils e.g. chopping boards, crockery- some chipped and stained. The pool area would benefit from heavy based parasols or pergola to create shade.We did have a really good holiday and Caitlyn very good responsive host and we trust our comments on our experience are useful.

Each room was well sized and had an air conditioning unit which was great for the evenings. The location of the villa was perfect with the pool being in the sun practically for the whole day, and the balcony’s provided great views over the marina and the sea. The hosts stayed in touch from the first enquiry about the villa until we got back to England which is great to see that they care about your stay and want it to all go well. We had a great time and I’d highly recommend.

We had such an amazing time staying at this villa! There were a couple of items, the pool wasn’t cleaned when we got there and the light bulbs needed replacing in one of the bathroom, but both issues were addressed promptly. Also, the swirl staircase is a little tight if your a taller person, but other than that, we had a fantastic stay, loved it!

Why they chose this property

My wife and I visited Albufeira in 2022 and we absolutely loved everything about it. Most of all we loved how easy it was to get around. When we started looking at properties I made it a priority to find something that was convenient to the beach, old town, and the marina while also being a modern home with all the amenities. This house fits all those criteria. We hope you enjoy the house and Albufeira as much as we do!
