Great property close and walkable to beaches, restaurants, Old Town. AC was strong and beds comfortable. Beautiful ocean view and easy communication with our host Stefan who was most helpful. Would highly recommend this property!
Our stay was amazing! We were thrilled to have a place so close to the beach, restaurants and nightlife! The apartment was exceptionally clean and everything we needed was there. The communication with Tobias was smooth and easy! We were able to use the secure underground parking space which made going places and coming back super easy! There were so many great places to see up and down the coast so this apartment was a great centre to stay in! The pool was beautiful, clean and only a few steps from the apartment. We were surprised at how many restaurants and great night spots were so close and it was great just to walk 5 minutes back to the apartment. Thank you for making our first time in Portugal so fantastic! We definitely recommend this apartment!!!
Had a wonderful stay. The view was amazing, proximity to restaurants, markets and beach all walkable. The condo was very clean and nicely updated. Thanks for the great vacation home. Lorraine, Lesley and Suzanne
What a great property - wonderful location, less than 5 mins to beach and the restaurant choices you could ask for. The space had two A/C units to keep things cool in the heat, a wonderful balcony and two large sized bedrooms. Stefan met us on time both checking in and checking out and was helpful with local recommendations. A fantastic place!
Excellent all round, communication good with the owner, Stefan collected us from the Airport very friendly and helpful. Apartment great location, comfy, just right - would stay again
Walking distance from old town (a bit noisy at night) , beach and great food market (Continente). Stefan (manager) always available (responds on WhatsApp immediately)
Ideal location , close to the beach, shopping, and restaurants .The local host was attentive and helpful . The apartment was clean, modern and comfortable, we couldn't ask for more. Thanks for a great stay.
Very short walk to the entertainment district and wonderful views of the town an ocean! It's far enough away from the clubs that the late-night music is not audible. The parking spot is priceless in the middle of Old Town!
Highly recommend.
The apartment was perfect. It was very clean. Beautiful view! Walking distance to everything we needed. The rooftop pool is beautiful in the evening with the Albufeira lights twinkling below. Thank you for a perfect stay!
The apartment was perfect for me and my family. It had everything we needed. The location is close to the beach (Praia de Pescadores), shops and restaurants. It was very clean. The beds were decent size and the rooms were spacious. It had everything you would need for your vacation. Would highly recommend this apartment.
we had a good time in albufeira even though it rained every day. We enjoyed the apartment, which was exactly as advertised ,food and afew short excursions. We explored the old town and discovered an awesome little traditional restaurant named ozuca, hidden down an alley a half block from the square. We ate there 3 times, try the cataplana.
The small apartment was in a great location! One bedroom is very small... but frankly, I didn't come tonsit in a bedroom! Stephan gave us quite a lot of information at check-in, which we tried to absorb, but after our long car ride, a house manual would've been helpful! But... between the 4 of is... we remembered most things. I would definitely rent this apartment again!
We had a great time in Albufeira. The apartment was in a great location, easy walking distance to the beach, grocery stores, restaurants and shops. Lots of room for the three of us. Secure underground parking was great.
Loved the patio and the view from the kitchen
Had a bit of water backup in the shower drain, but it didn't happen everyday, so not sure why it happened. Great to have a washer and clothes drying rack, beach umbrellas and beach/pool towels. We would recommend staying here, as it was close enough to everything. Check in and check out were very easy.

Albufeira is the perfect town if you want it all...cuisine, centrally located in the Algarve, beach and party. THE VIEW from balcony is pectacular and tricked someone in thinking we were on a greek island The apartmemt is PERFECTLY situated where you are 5 to 10min walk to restaurants/bars and same distance to the beach. Any closer and you may be able to hear Neil Diamond or Lionel Ritchie "all night long" LOL. Added bonus to this accomodation is underground parking (a must for me in portugal) and quaint rooftop pool. Stafan and his wife were LOVELY. One of the BEST accomodations ive had. If the stars line up will be back soon!. Thanks Algarve you did not dissapoint❤️
Overall, nice experience. Clean unit. Shower does not drain (we were informed upon check in) and parking is extra even though there is a dedicated spot that was empty for the unit. The sliding door did not lock and when brought to the local property manager attention he was aware of the issue. When we checked out he said to pay him €30 on the spot for the door that was clearly damaged before we arrived.
First - Stephan and his lovely wife who take care of the apartment were amazing. They picked us up at the train station and gave us a great run down of the area for our short ride. When we walked through the door my two college aged girls said WOW MOM!!!! And every room we went into they had the same reaction. Great view of the water and overlooking the town below. CLEAN - everything you need. Nice patio off the dining area - great pool and perfect size for 3 adults! I let them share the king bed while I took the interior room with no window. i have to admit when I booked I thought that this room was a bit odd and thought may be stuffy but you quickly realize hardly in there during the day and by leaving a small door open to living room the cool air makes it’s way in! Mattresses were very comfortable! Extra pillows and face cloths would be the only thing I would suggest to have as well as a stool of some sort for the shower to shave legs - otherwise I rate the place a big 10! Would definitely stay there again if ever we visit Old Town in the future!

Good location but lacks in other areas!
The only reason I give this place 3 stars is because of location, otherwise it would be less. You can walk to beach, dining and shopping very easily. The place was had a nice view of water and the village.
Upon arrival I was told to contact the house keeper and meet him at a parking lot. This did not go well, the address given by the owner, Tobias, was not specific enough and we spent almost an hour trying to find each other. This was not a great start, very frustrating. But after we meet Stephan we were taken to the place and showed around.
Some suggestions...bed needs more comfortable pillows and more of them. Also, have some water for your guests. I've stayed at other properties where the owner has had the frig stocked with basic items. And $80 euro for cleaning???? That's a lot!!!! We were only there 2 nights...showered once and never used the kitchen...oh and when arrived there were cigarette butts all over patio...that is not clean to me!!!
If your looking for a beautiful beach resort we stumbled upon the Pine Cliffs Resort when looking for a beach...this is where I would stay next time.

We are sorry that you could not enjoy your holiday, but:
- you were the first guests who where not able to find the meetingpoint, even if we gave you the directions. This one is on mainstreet in Albufeira, so that you can not fail this one. As we said it is an good idea to check up Google Maps before to get an idea where you are going to go and where you can meet our housekeeper.
- we think our bed is quite comfortable. We changed the matrassess in May 2016. you could have seen on the pictures that we do not have 5 pillows per Person.
- our cleaningwoman is very tidy and systematic. But we are sorry that you saw cigarette buts on the patio. We will let her know, so that it will never happen again.
- actually we do not prepare bottels of water for our guests. This is an apartment and no hotel room. But we do have Shampoo and shower gel. This is really good for an apartment.
- we do write on the page of fewo-direkt.de that check out is possible between 8-11am. If you need to go earlier or later please let us know. So you did not say that you want to leave to another time, so you can't complain about that. And of course our housekeeper will check you out to see if there is everything fine in the apartment and with our guests and to get back the keys and garage opener.
I think that you just did not inform yourself enough.
We are sorry for all faults which belong to our responsibility.
Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit in dem Apartment in Albufera! Die Wohnung ist gemütlich, bietet ausreichend Platz für 4 Personen und ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man benötigt, um sich wohl zu fühlen. Wir wurden persönlich empfangen und bekamen eine freundliche Einweisung in Geräte der Wohnung, Tiefgaragennutzung etc. Auch während unseres Aufenthaltes konnten wir uns bei Problemen jederzeit melden. Die Unterkunft ist günstig gelegen mit kurzen Wegen zum Strand, Shopping und Restaurants und Bars.
