Very good

Amazing from start to finish. Vincente greeted us and showed us round. Gave us great directions on how to get into old town, which is a 10 minute walk. The supermarket is 2 minutes away with a restaurant/bar next door that does an all you can eat bbq on a Sunday. This villa is in a great location with everything you will need. The pool is just perfect and where we spent most of our time. We will definitely be back

Needs attention but in good location
Firstly I will start with the positives, Vicente is an amazing host-We had an issue with the pool and hesorted asap-the house could be described as traditional Portuguese in decoration however it is looking very tired &needs small remedial works doing to bring it to a good standard .tile chips everywhere but potentially dangerous on the stairs The pool is great but there are cracked stones which need replacing. furniture & table around the poolside are all in need of replacement - the chairs are fraying, supposed white plastic ones look horrific - The table needs fixing. We didn’t use the BBQ so can’t comment however there are 3 parasol bases some of which are usuable but the worst is the parasol umbrella themselves which were full of mold.Why even have these available?There are weedsThere are 2 bathrooms in the property - one has a bath but there is no plug to use the bath. There is a 1st aid sign above another rusty shelf but no box The toilet seat is absolutely rank. The 2nd bathroom the shower&enclosure are brilliant BUT seriously why would you put/leave a rusty old, filfthy toilet brush and roll holder in there as this was not a great first impression! Get rid of ornaments & flowers as this would improve 1st impression in lounge.kitchen has everything you require I’m not sure if this place has been left to rot due to previous unpleasant holiday makers that Vicente relayed to us with a number of horror stories
We had a great stay at Casa Solmar. Vincent met us as we arrived which was around 10pm as we had a late flight, showed us around and kindly left us a bottle of water and beer in the fridge. He also offered to take us to the supermarket but we jumped in an UBER the next morning & went to ALDI to stock up. The location of the villa was excellent. A 10 min walk out the front to the left took you to the beach & old town & 10 min walk to your right took you to the marina. There is also a big supermarket & bar that serves food and has BBQ night on a Sunday and quiz nights, live music. The villa was clean & had everything we needed. The outside furniture needs updating which Vincent acknowledged & also the poolside lights weren’t working so it was too dark to sit out there at night but there is also a lovely little terrace out front with a table which we used regularly as it’s closer to the kitchen. The BBQ also needed a better clean, we weren’t fussed about using it but noticed it wasn’t very clean. The bath strangely didn’t have a plug but both showers worked great and the water pressure was good. Air con was great but we didn’t use it much as the villa does stay quite cool if you keep all the shutters closed. The living area has a futon which was but would benefit from a double sofa bed for more comfortable sleeping. The pool was great, clean and kids loved it. Slightly overlooked ,nothing major, they can’t see into the pool, just the dining area. Outside ideally needs more shade
We had a great stay at the villa it’s was within walking distance to old town and the marina.Villa was clean and comfortable the pool was great for relaxing would be a bit deep for children.Vincent was very friendly and helpful would stay here again
El alojamiento tiene todo lo que se necesita , está bien distribuido para 4 personas y ubicado a 10 minutos del centro y de la playa en una zona tranquila. Supermercado al lado .

Over het algemeen prima
Het huisje was een goeie staat, op de bedlakens na, die waren niet al te schoon. Verder geen klachten alleen was de locatie net iets te ver van de Strip. De airconditioning was ook zeer prettig.
We really enjoyed our stay in Albufeira.
View of the ocean is spectacular. Many restaurants and shops within walking distance. Food market just 900 meters away. Many places to visit at an affordable price. Our host Vincent was very knowledgeable and helpful in providing all necessary information to make our stay very enjoyable.

Opinión familiar
Nos alojamos 10 días y la verdad es que la casa deja bastante que desear en cuanto a la limpieza y estado del mobiliario,los colchones de la habitación pequeña tendrán no menos de 10 años imposible dormir se te clavan los muelles que da gusto y limpieza de baños y cocina da miedo nada más llegar nos tocó limpieza de ambos a fondo. La piscina y la ubicación si que son inmejorables pero la limpieza tira mucho para atrás.

A little tired but clean inside. Bit more attention to the outside space and would have prefer some clue as to being overlooked. Vincent very friendly and helpful.

Not luxurious but location 5*
Casa Solmar would have gotten 5 stars for the location alone 10 min to town 5 min from beach and a shop just around the corner. However the house let its location down. Nothing major just needed a little TLC, as things like shower not working properly, some mould in bathroom, broken tiles and air con not working in one of the bedrooms, which we had to wait around until engineers had a look at it (this should not have been our job, eating into our holiday time) It was just lucky that we had no excursions booked. The air con was not fixable during our stay.
