Lovely apartment in an excellent location. Everything you need and a nice pool too. We loved our stay. Would definitely come back. Shop and restaurant's underneath the apartment was an added bonus too.
Very nice property with 3 restaurants in the complex. If you are looking for a quiet place, this is it and just a short walk to the Oura strip to enjoy night life, restaurants and bars as well as Oura beach. The complex is very clean and you can enjoy quiet pool side. The host is very quick in answering questions. It was a lovely stay!! Thank you Maria :)
Within walking distance to 3 different beaches and local corner market. The tourist train (local bus) is within walking distance and allows for a tour of the city, with multiple stops along the route. Enjoyed my time there. Good communication w/property owner.
This will be our second stay at this property, we like it so much last year we rebooked this year
Great stay, within walking distance to all places
Beaches, Old Town, The Strip and Restaurants
Well Recommended

Top owner
very clean comfortable apartment . We had first class communication with Maria the owner but the transfer taxis don't seem to know the address and we found it better to ask to be dropped off at Sereia Oura da apartments . We had just two problems which we tried to get sorted, first the safe was locked and didn't work it only needs a key to open it and change the battery but the girl called Christina who manages things called once did nothing and although she was supposed to be coming back with a key and also to help us set up the TV (which we eventually after being in touch with Maria and a lot of luck got some channels) she never even rang us or called round for the rest of our stay.The apartment is in a quiet area , there is a small tourist train that runs around quite cheap hop on and off very handy.All in all if the apartment had a better local manager who was helpful and cared as much as the Owner does about her guests it would be greatSorry to have to write the negative stuff Maria as you were perfect, but I have be truthful.
Our stay was amazing. The place was clean and very well equipped with everything
The kids slept very comfortably using the sofa bed and the extra bed
Location is ideal, quiet and about 12 minute walk to the beach
Clean’ tidy and plenty room and storage and very well equipped,!
Stay was very good’ apartment was great’ good location, close enough for everything you need & far enough away from the busy town for quiet if that’s what your looking for,
Enjoyed the stay and would gladly recommend it to my friends & family,
Initially we did struggle to find the apartment as the pictures can be a little misleading. For any future guests, look for JoJo’s sandwich bar and head into the apartments behind it. The rooms were so clean and the facilities were great and very modern. The sofa bed was easy to put up and very comfy. The location is great as it’s right near the strip and there’s lots of food places nearby. It’s approximately a 10 minute uber to Old Town but ubers are so.cheap we didn’t mind! Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and cannot fault the host nor the room one bit!
We really enjoyed the apartment. Maria was a great hostess and provided answers to all my questions within a reasonable amount of time. The property was clean and well stocked. There was a clean pool located on the property and a few restaurants right down below. Locaton was good. 10 minute walk to the strip and about 10 to the beautiful beach. The beds were comfortable and was just right for us. The only negatives were that toilet paper wasn’t supplied which other VRBO’s usually have and a smell coming from the drain in the bathroom. It did not wreck our vacation at all, it just wasn’t great.
The property was in an ideal location as it was just round the corner from the strip and only cost about €4 in an Uber or €10 in a tuk tuk to the Old town. The apartment was the perfect size for me and my 2 friends. Most things were clean and the room was presentable. However, we did have trouble with the address on Apple and Google maps and we struggled to work the AC. Apart from this we would definitely visit again and the host was friendly and extremely easy to contact. Thank you :)
The apartment is 5 minutes walk to the bottom of the strip and the top of the hill to Oura beach. It’s a 20 minute walk to the old town. It is in a quiet relaxing complex with a lovely pool area. Everything is close by. Pleased to see essentials like washing up liquid, a sponge, hand wash, washing powder and salt & pepper. Although the small balcony is in the shade all day there is a terrace area outside the front door which has sun should you wish to relax there. Communication with the host Maria was very good via WhatsApp and calls.
This was the most disgusting place we have ever stayed and it should not be be allowed to be listed on Stayz or any other platform.
The sheets and towels had not been cleaned - they were visibly dirty and the towels literally smelt like vomit.
The ‘4th bed’ was a dirty sofa bed that had holes in it.
Inadequate toliet paper was provided. There was 4 of us staying for 3 nights and we were only given 1 roll.
The airconditioning vents looked like they had not been cleaned in years which resulted in us getting sick.
Additional issues: stove top doesn’t work, power sockets in living room don’t work, toliet seat is broken, shower has 3 minutes of hot water, light switches fell off as you touched them.
The manager of this property did nothing to resolve any of these issues during our stay.
We are leaving this place feeling sick, tired and disgusted by the living conditions of this appartment.
Do not stay here
Great location to access New Town yet far enough away from it to not hear the activities through the night. Lovely to have had a balcony and appreciated not overlooking the main road. Nice and quiet at night. Pool was super clean, very apparent how staff were working hard to keep up the property. Host was quick to respond to any questions we may have had, and the unit was equipped with appliances that all worked well. Loved the simple yet effective coffee-maker! Beds were very comfortable. Would not hesistate to book again if we returned to the area.

Séjour agréable
La température a été au rendez vous. Je n’ai pas ressenti mes douleurs intenses. Près de la plage très bien pour prendre du temps pour se reposer.Merci
Appartement fonctionnel et très propre
Sa localisation est proche des commerces, des plages, du très joli centre ville de Albufeira.
Les restaurants sont accessibles a pied en quelques minutes.
Parfait
Great little apartment 5 minutes from the strip and 15 minutes from the Old Town. The apartment would benefit from better pillows on the bed. A bowl in the kitchen to wash dishes and a plug in the sink in the bathroom to be able to shave trivial bits but makes life easier and more comfortable. As a base for a short stay though the place is ideal with a good sized pool and comfy sun loungers.
Das Appartmenent von Maria ist sehr schön und Maria als Gastgeberin ist super hilfsbereit, zuvorkommend und freundlich.
Die Lage ist auch toll, da man alles zu Fuß erreichen kann. Die Appartementanlage war allerdings sehr stark von Gruppen englischer und niederländischer Jugendlichen bewohnt und daher nachts bis morgens sehr laut. Ist aber wohl nur im Juli so der Fall.
Albufeira als Ort ist grundsätzlich sehr stark von englischen Touristen besucht…alles in allem aber alles wirklich empfehlenswert!
