Fantastic accommodation!

The location is a strong point of this property. Just above the beach, nothing you need is any more than a 10min walk away. Love the fact you get your own private terrace with sea views. Would highly recommend if visiting Albufeira.

Location is amazing, seafront views, so close to the beach and the old town - area felt very safe and quiet at night, away from the bars. Italian next door was great for our first dinner as we had an evening flight. Enjoyed the roof top terrace.

Let the waves lull you to

Terrific little cottage with amazing ocean views. Perfect location to walk to many wonderful spots on and off the beach. Cottage is well equipped with everything you need to have a home-like stay. Enjoyed our time! Maybe some beach towels?

Awesome location

Loved the location and could hear the waves crashing on the beach from inside. A Short walk to the main part of old Town with many restaurants and beer spots. Much quieter than the strip area and IMHO more suited for non party people. Comfortable beds Shower area could use some work as it was a challenge to keep the water from getting out to the floor

Fabulous location! Ocean and beach view from front door and bedroom window! Low volume one way road and pedestrian walkway out front. A few restaurants only steps away. Short walk to the beaches and into old town and the main restaurant bar area. Great clean suite with 2 bedrooms with closets, living room, full kitchen, private back patio and good shower. Home Holidays rental company was very responsive and helpful. Highly recommend!

loved the location away from noise and bustle but 2 minutes away were 2cafe bars. The restaurant next door hadn't yet opened for the season. double glazing and thick walls meant we heard no external noise. Old fashioned charm and we loved it.

The pictures don’t do this place justice. The private terrace is to die for with a view of the street and ocean behind. .

Beautiful location overlooking the ocean with huge balcony!

We loved the little house with the big balcony!! Awesome view from the balcony. The property was right on the cliffs overlooking the ocean with a wonderful restaurant right next door! The beds were very comfortable and we liked having a washer with drying racks outside. It was close to many restaurants and a three minute walk to the beach. I would definitely stay again if we return to Albufeira Portugal!! Not really a major issue but we would prefer if linens and towels were washed in scent free detergent as I’m sensitive to perfumes.

Albuferia beach at your door!

Loved the location of this vacation rental. Close to restaurants and beaches. It was surprisingly quiet at night which may have been the time of year as we were there in mid February to early March.The bathroom lighting could improve.There were 2 lights by the mirror but we couldn’t get them to work.Don’t turn shower on full or water might flow over shower pan.This is a 2 bedroom place and it worked for my husband and I.We spent 18 nights here and it was very enjoyable!

VERY NICE STAY IN ALBUFEIRA

Very nice and spacious apartment with a beautiful terrace with a wonderful panoramic view, located in a very quiet and exceptional position both for access to the beach and the old town Some details need to be improved, for example, there was no toilet paper holder in the bathroom, no container in the shower for shampoo and shower gel, and the fan didn't work. The terrace is gorgeous but it would have been perfect with a beach umbrella or an awning to cover part of it so it could be used in the afternoon. The kitchen was fairly well-equipped, but again, especially for long stays of 15 days where it will be used a lot, it could be better stocked (there were no tablecloths or pot holders, and more towels would be needed).
