About this property

Villa "SOL" W/Shared Pool,Beautiful Spacious Gardens & Sea Views, Secure Complex

Upstairs balcony looks towards the ocean with snippets of the sea. Downstairs is a private enclosed garden with your private built in BBQ. The complex has a locked entrance, a motorised gate, so it is quite secure and very private. There is a large pool and shallower children´s pool and attractive extremely well maintained very spacious gardens all around, with a Tennis court. It takes 15 minutes to walk along the beach into the old town of Albufeira with its shops, bars and restaurants and fantastic night life. The famous Strip/Street of the Bars is 8 min walk. You do not need a car as the bus-Giro service is very good. There are plenty sightseeing tours available, car hire is available at the airport. There are wonderful beaches and villages along the coast. A short trip inland takes you to the old Algarve where life has not changed much for years. 4 min drive from Balaia Village Golf Course, 10 min to Salgados Golf Course and 20 min from all the courses at Vilamoura.

Absolutely incredible property! The photos DO NOT do it justice!.. Its huge, and modern, with everything you need. There are glass Banister on staircase. A beautiful atrium with cherry blossom tree within the house. My only one content is the beds are really hard. That is only issue. Other than that it was best place we've ever stayed at.

Lovely quiets villa near to beach and restaurants.

The villa really nice and clean. The kids loved the shared pool and no one else was using this while we were there. Everything about the villa was just what we needed and our hosts were great in helping us check-in and made us feel really welcome and we're available online if we needed anything. Perhaps the only slight issue was that the single bed bases (not the mattresses) were pretty noisy but it didn't make much difference as the kids slept really well!! We'll definitely be back!

Bright Large Family House

Immaculate, large home perfect for those travelling with a couple kids. Big modern kitchen, bbq and large backyard with ample seating makes home living easy. Central pool steps from the backyard and a short walk to the beach or a few minutes by car to town. Close to shops and everything else you may need. Manuela is an amazing host with answers to all of your questions (and more). Highly recommend.

Great holiday property

Communication with Manuela was great, couldn't be more helpful. Some confusion over the keys on checkin but easily sorted, and nothing within Manuela's control. House is close to the strip for bars / restaurants and amusements, and a short taxi ride to the old town, (or a walk in very hot evening sun!). House is very spacious, clean and well equipped with eveything we needed, the pool is fantastic - much bigger than the photos imply, and some days we had it completely to ourselves. My only issue is we found the beds very firm, but that is down to personal preference so I certainly wouldnt take stars off for it. Thanks for having us 😊

Lovely stay in Villa Sol Albufeira

We are just back from our weeklong stay at Villa Sol in Albufeira. The villa is perfect for a family. It’s big and bright with a large garden and a balcony from the main bedroom. It is very well equipped, so you can feel at home: plenty of cooking utensils, plates and cups, a variety of kitchen equipment, as well as everything you might need for washing, ironing, hair drying, and overall comfort. As it was very hot in Algarve during our stay, we really appreciated the air conditioning in both bedrooms and overall coolness of the house. The villa is about 12 mins on foot from a beautiful beach, and a few minutes from the Strip, which offers plenty of places to eat or have a drink. The old town and the marina are a bit further away, so a car is helpful. We also enjoyed the beautiful shared pool and a calm neighbourhood of the condominium. Communication with the host was great too, though we did get a bit confused about the locations of the keys. But maybe that’s because we arrived late and were a bit tired. Overall, it’s a great spot for a lazy or active break and for exploring Algarve. Thank you!

A stunning, well equipped villa

We had a wonderful holiday in Albufeira, our first time here for 31 years. We weren't so lucky with the weather but the villa was so cosy and well equipped we were able to pass the stormy spells in comfort and style. The villa has everything you could need, (it's massive!) and it's a great location, central to most things, not far to go to get to old town or the strip, and plenty of restaurants and supermarkets nearby (taxis are reasonable and its close to a tourist train stop and bus stop). It's within a quiet gated community, the pool and garden are beautiful too. Branca gave us the warmest welcome, showed us how things worked and pointed out a few things on the map for us (including the best coffee/cake shop- Pastelaria Riviera Inn). It was really clean throughout. Excellent communication with the friendly owners throughout our stay, they were quick to get back to us with any queries. We do like to cook and found some of the utensils a little blunt/tricky to use (scissors, fiddly grater and peeler), but this is minor. The master bed is also a little hard but thats down to personal taste. I still slept well. The villa is so spacious, comfortable sofas, sun loungers, the garden is a little sun trap and plenty of privacy, the bedroom had a balcony, and big tables to dine inside and out. It was much fancier than expected and so reasonably priced. We loved it and would definitely recommend it! Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Perfect location for our relaxing holiday

The villa was clean bright spacious and comfortable. It was also well equipped if you plan to stay in and cook and to enjoy private the garden area. We really enjoyed our stay with lots of helpful and reassuring communication from Manuela and branca before we arrived and great service while we were there. The location is perfect - close enough to bars and restaurants but private and peaceful too. We would love to stay again.

Great location and villa facilities good

Manuela easy to get hold of but a few details on the villa could have been better. Alarm codes and switch off details as well as restarting the trip system for electricity. Villa was in a great location but would have benefited from a deep clean. Barbeque was full of ash and grills and utensils dirty. Kitchen cupboards and draws were dirty. Surfaces bedrooms and bathrooms clean and tidy.

A super place to stay

We have just got back from a 7 night stay at villa sol, it was immaculate very clean and everything you could need for a great holiday. Manuela had sorted return transfers out for us, and was there to greet us, what a lovely lady she gave us lots of information on the local area. It was a great location only a short walk from the beach and the old town. With several restaurants and bars near by. I would highly recommend a stay at villa sol. Antoinetts

wonderful place to stay

Just back from a great break in villa sol, stayed for 15 nights and everything was just perfect. Sol is extremely clean and well maintained.Everything provided even flat screens in the bedrooms which my kids used while we were getting ready to go out or having an early night, bring a few shows on a usb and your all set.Downstairs tv doesnt take usbs but plenty of english speaking channels to keep you entertained with about 5 english movie channels alone, a little light on kids shows though so mainly used upstairs for that. Very comfortable house and only a few steps from a great pool. Many days we had the pool to ourselves, with great gardens for my kids 4 &7 to play on along with a secure tenniscourt in which to explore! We didnt hire a car and for our first visit to the area was not required. Location is perfect, few minute walk to the strip and a few minute walk the other way to catch the small noddy train to the old town so you have the best of both worlds.Beach is also in walking distance, took us about 15 mins going slowly with the kids, no buggy with us this year which slowed us down abit. Manuela and branca are perfect hosts, there when you need them but lets you get on with it, i took branca up on her kind offer of a shop run when we got there and meant we were well set for first few days. We are going to book again for next year once we get dates sorted and everyone looking forward to it already. Happy to give a strong recomendation. A word of caution on albufeira itself around taxis, none available at busy times and you could be waiting over an hr at night for one, that is why this house is in such a good location where the train runs till around midnight from the oldtown to near your front door and you can easily walk to new town so we didnt have to use taxis

Mirasol Villas

We have just stayed at this lovely house in a fantastic location 15 nights and had a great holiday. We were there with another couple. We were met at the airport by the owners daughter Branca who couldn't have been more helpful, taking us to the supermarket where we were able to stock up on essentials, food beer etc. She also helped us to settle in and gave us loads of information about the locality. The house itself is wonderful; very modern, clean and well thought out with 2 good bedrooms and 3 lovely bathrooms. The walk to The Strip is a gentle 5 -10 minute stroll and Albuferia 15 - 20 mins or take the regular bus where there are a lovely variety of restaurants, bars and shops. Several beaches within a 10 min walk and beautiful pool surrounded by well maintained gardens. The house couldn't have been better positioned, it was ideal. The owner was very helpful sorting out our stay with lots of communication. We would totally recommend this lovely house in a prime location
