Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2008
I was a single woman who went to write a book in Portugal a few years ago and fell in love with Albufeira. So much so, I decided that I would do whatever it took to live there at least part of the year. Currently, I am working on making that dream come true. In the meantime, I am able to share my home with others- what a joy! This home is the result of hard work, dedication and one person's dream- it has great energy and you will enjoy your stay!
Why the Owner Chose Albufeira
The people of Albufeira are so sociable and friendly. Plus, the location is ideal- I am so close to everything I love (beach, marina). The climate is warm, almost mediterranean, and the water is clear with a turquoise tint. I appreciate the quiet of the house location since I go there to write, but then town is right around the corner when I want to be around others. It is ideal and I love it there. I am an avid traveler so being close to Faro airport was a goal as well.
The Unique Benefits of this Bungalow
The full bathrooms are perfect for when my parents or friends join me for a visit. We also have a great time making meals together in the large kitchen and enjoy relaxing outside on the patio. Plus, sitting by the fire at night watching a movie or reading is such a nice experience. We walk to the marina or to town to catch a bite to eat or head to the beach or the pool for a swim.

Spacious and well-located villa in the "best" part of Albufeira

Review Submitted: 05/11/11
Two Canadian couples enjoyed a week at this villa which was very clean and comfortable and within walking distance of the old town. We had no problems of any kind during our stay - the neighbours were friendly, the fresh lemons from the tree in the yard were delicious and the TV had programs in English - what's not to like? The kitchen is well-equipped with a large fridge/freezer and plenty of room for several cooks to work. The two bathrooms are spacious - we particularly appreciated the heated towel rails to dry our towels. Our only concern initially was that the street location has been somewhat compromised by some unfinished construction projects - the impact of the worldwide recession no doubt - however, as there was no work going on, the lack of construction dust and noise was actually appreciated and there was no visual impact from the villa. So, all in all, a successful stay!

My wife and I were here in October 2009 for two weeks. Drove in from Lisboa through a big rainstorm, got turned around for a bit before we found the lovely casa. Made friends with musicians, cooks, deli workers at the local market and a pretty little cat, who decided she wanted to hang around with us when I grilled dorado (fish) and potatoes and chorizo and other tasty treats. Great location. Once we figured out the local roads and circles, we were good to go. We travelled all across the Algarve, from just inside the border of Spain to Sagres on the west coast. Enjoyed 7 or 8 beautiful beaches. We tried to arrange a musician's working vacation this year for the month of September and definitely would have rented this lovely place again. However, flights from Washington, DC proved too costly for another foray into this beautiful and charming country.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, sightseeing, adventure seekers.

From the moment you arrive at Casa Da Concha, you feel relaxed. Everything has a homely feel about the place.The letting agency that is based at Cerro Novo just around the corner are very helpful and polite. The advice that they gave us saved us a small fortune just for the water alone. The views over the Marina are mesmarising to say the least. Stay here and you will leave relaxed and ready for reallity of everyday life and the trials and tribulations that may come your way. Thanks again to everyone invloved with Casa Da Concha. Regards Josh
