Quiet and peaceful area on the outer rim of Albufiera
Nice property. Very quiet and you can walk down to the beautiful Praia Sao Rafael (5-7min walk). It’s a bit far from Old Town Albufiera but Ubers are easy. Minor issue we encountered was the lockbox that holds the key. It was tricky getting the compartment to open.

A beautiful holiday in Sao Raphael
This was my first time in the Algarve and I was so happy to have found this place to stay for a few weeks. It's a lovely, tastefully designed home in a peaceful Sao Raphael oasis, just minutes from beautiful beaches and trails. The place is outfitted with everything you could need for a short or longer stay. The views of the ocean and neighbourhood are wonderful. Thank you Marco, I will definitely be recommending this spot!

Lovely location!
This is a lovely location-walking distance to beautiful beaches and to the Marina. It’s a longer stroll to old town but we enjoyed the walk. If you enjoy cooking, the kitchen is great! Has all the necessary equipment and an excellent induction stove top, oven and charcoal grill outside. The sunrise is glorious from the living room balcony. It was a perfect spot for our family and our first visit to the Algarve. Catarina and her husband were quick to respond to any of our questions. Thanks for everything, we hope to be back!

About the host

Hosted by Catarina Carreira

Host profile image
I moved to Portugal back in 2008 just before marrying my husband with whom I have two beautiful children with; a boy and a girl. We often come to this part of the Algarve for holidays and decided to buy an apartment here as an investment and also to enjoy ourselves.

Why they chose this property

My husband first brought me to this area of the Algarve on my first trip to Portugal. He spent a lot of holiday time here when he was younger and has very fond memories. Since then, I have also fallen in love with the location because it is beautiful, quiet, and very close to the beach.
But, if you feel like going out for a good time, then Albufeira is just 10 minutes away by car.
