We had the most amazing holiday! The villa is in a great location, close to everything you need. The garden/ pool was beautiful and the villa itself was authentic, had everything you need and stayed lovely and cool. We would love to stay again! Thank you for the great communication throughout. This was our first family holiday, booking through vrbo and the process was very smooth and easy.

Thank you, Jessica. We will always be here waiting for you. I wish you much happiness and health. Maria Helena Gargaté
The host Maria was lovely, very responsive and helpful The villa itself was wonderful Positives: The location was great, close to the strip and the beach Easy to get around - we used the restaurant next door as a pick up point for Ubers The pool is lovely We had a group of 8 women’s on a girls trip and the property was perfect for it Things to note: We didn’t find being close to the road too loud, but there were a couple of nights it got a bit loud so if you’re light sleepers - this is something to consider The water pressure meant that we had cold showers most of the week - the host very kindly sent someone out but we still had to shower one at a time even if there was three showers at the house One of the bedrooms says ‘double bed and two single trundle beds’ but this is either a double bed OR two single trundle beds - wasn’t an issue - but just something to note Overall we had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend for large groups
Absolutely beautiful villa ! Pool amazing ! Close to everything had an amazing stay

We had a slight hiccup when the gas ran out, meaning no hot water or cooking facilities. However one call to Maria Helena and the issue was resolved very quickly.

Thank you for your understanding. I hope you had some pleasant days. I wish that the return was good.

We loved our stay. Communicating with the owner was quick and easy. The villa was clean and spacious, with a large pool set within a beautiful garden. The villa even stayed cool enough for us not to need the air conditioning. It is ideally located - very close to lots of restaurants and bars but far enough away that you don’t hear the noise from the strip at all. The Old Town is also walkable and worth a visit. Highly recommended.
We loved staying at this villa & 100% book again! Bedrooms are a great size, bed were comfy, pool was great! The location is perfect 10-15 mins walk down to the beach, 30 minutes walk to the old town and 5 mins from the strip if you want to party. Really loved it and will be back!
The villa was prefect for our family get away .All the rooms was spacious and clean , the kitchen had everything you needed , dishwasher and washing machine was perfect when u got young children like we did .We will be back again to use this villa was brilliant . Thank you
We had a terrific stay! The house is centrally located and equipped with everything we needed. Owner was great to communicate with. We would highly recommend this rental home

Thank you for your review. We were very happy that you enjoyed being in our villa and in our company.
We are waiting for you to return one day.
Kind regards,

The property had everything that we needed for our stay, its just five minutes away from the strip where there is buzzing night life and also a beach close by. The weather was not that great so we did not use the swimming pool. Great place
Couldn’t have stayed at a better place, literally 5 min walk to the strip. But you wouldn’t know the strip was there, as it was peaceful.. Next door to a nice restaurant. Would definitely stay there again..
Me and my friends really enjoyed our stay in this house in Albufeira. The location was perfect and the host was very kind. We also really enjoyed the house, because it had everything. We really recommand this house for a group of friends!
Thank you!
We completely loved our stay here. There is nothing not to like about this property or the location. We come to Portugal every year and this property would be our first choice every year ☺️
This was our second visit to this property, and once again it ticked all the boxes for us. Lovely and clean, fantastic pool, great location and just what we needed for a relaxing break in the sun.Both the owner and the housekeeper couldn't have been more helpful. The pool and gardens are also regularly cleaned and maintained to a high standard.We all had a fantastic holiday, and hope to return again in the future to our favourite property in Portugal!Thanks to you all for making our holiday so special.

Liked: Check-in
Disliked: Communication, location
Missing basic amenities like a wine opener, toilet paper, trash bags, proper recycle containers. The guest information book contains outdated information.Overall the house is worn out and is in need of some upkeep and TLC.Pool was very nice. It was chilly but with a little solar heating, yearly use could be extended.
We really enjoyed our stay.
The garden and pool were kept nicely - even during off-season.
There was some minor damage to some of the AC due to a recent storm, which was immediately fixed.
Communication during our stay was excellent.
The house and accommodation were great. Close to everything and easy to get to everything.
Will definitely be back.
Thank you for everything

Caros hóspedes,
Obrigado pelo vosso comentário. Esta é de
Very beautiful space! Clean, cute, and safe neighborhood. We did have a little trouble with the key getting into the property but if you turn it hard to the left it opens. The waiters at the restaurant next door were very sweet and it’s a great place to grab cocktails in the evening. 10/10 recommend!
Lovely house, fantastic pool. Excellent location, multiple transport options literally on the doorstep. Near enough to the Strip but far away enough that the noise is not an issue at all. Plenty of shops and bars in the vicinity. House is an older house but that's a huge bonus to keep the place cool. Aircon and wifi worked efficiently and pretty much everything you could possibly require was available. 5 star holiday just for the pool alone, everything else was just perfect. Festa da praia bar/ restaurant right next door with great food, drinks and lovely staff

We are very sorry that you were disturbed by customers from another house. We will contact those responsible and tell them to warn their customers not to make disturbing noises. What they did is illegal in Portugal. Whenever you hear excessive noise, you can call the police to order them.
Thank you for your information.
Kind regards,

About the host

My wife and I live on the outskirts of Lisbon, a city name Carnaxide. My wife is a preschool teacher and I'm Retired. In my working life I worked in a large national group having created it and Chairman of a Company from the area of Information Systems, which is also the area of my academic training. Like to live with love and peace and to make friends. We have three daughters and eight grandchildren. All together is a delight.
Why they chose this property
My house and the other two that make up the gated community were built from scratch by me and my two brothers. Th location of the plot is great: close to everything, with fantastic beaches very close and in a quiet area without agitation. Since its construction, and even today, they are on vacation that usually we enjoy during the month of August, a great meeting point for all the Family and Friends.
What makes this property unique
The villa is built in typical rustic style Algarve, in one plan to become more convenient and not a lot of work in cleaning. The interior is nice looking and very comfortable. Outside, beyond the large garden, small pine forest and large swimming pool, barbecue and have a good eating under the entrance porch table. We also have two good car parks, one of them covered. To keep clean and well landscaped exterior have treated the contract with a team that cleans and works Garden and swimming once a week in autumn and winter and twice a week in spring and summer.
