We loved the apartment and the property.The apartment was clean and beds were firm and comfortable. Rooms were quiet which was fantastic. The kitchen had everything we needed which was great because we could actually cook! Property has a fun and homey energy, pools are busy but that makes it fun. Host was a delight and very helpful.One small piece of feedback was we could have used a few more hooks in the bathrooms because with kids and pools we always had wet towels everywhere. Overall great stay! Loved it!

Albufeira Algarve Holiday

If I could give this vacation rental more stars I would!Great location close enough to Albufeira to access everything the city offers but just far enough away to enjoy the peaceful environment at the golf resort. We did rent a car and travelled to Sagres and Faro easily along the well-marked roads. The pools and the nearby beach were relaxing and uncrowded.On-site staff at reception and in the restaurants were very accommodating. The golf course is a 9 hole par 3 and was just right for a fun family game.The apartment was very well stocked and was beautifully renovated and fresh. We appreciated all of the modern appliances and decor! Our host was responsive and informative and had a great instruction guide describing how to use the appliances in many languages! We look forward to visiting the Algarve and Balaia Golf Village again in the future!

perfect winter get-away

beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 bath villa in lovely golf resort, outdoor patios with luxury, comfy furniture. Well stocked kitchen for dinners. We stayed a month in February. We did not need a car as resturants and beaches walkable from resort. Ubers cheap and very assessible for longer trips. The area of Alburfiera had plenty of local tours and buses that kept us exploring, busy and entertained everyday. The resort is beautiful with restaurant , golf, tennis, pool and reception staff that went above and beyond offering helpful information. Nicole was the best host we have ever had for VRBO. She was quickly available and interested in our every comfort. We quickly became friends. I highly recommend Nicole's property. It was the best winter escape area and property we have found.

Great apartment in a beautiful location. Everything we wanted for a relaxing holiday

Well maintained apartment in a large complex with lots of amenities. Lovely pool areas and cafes. Great spa although a little small. Even though full the resort was very peaceful. Good location - short walk to beaches and more restaurants. Short drive to main towns and lots going on in the area. Very helpful and responsive owners. Highly recommended.

!!! *** Sensationell - Wunderschön - Mehr als empfehlenswert !!! ***

Dieses herrliche Domizil hat mehr als 5 Sterne verdient! Wir waren überwältigt von den Räumlichkeiten, der Lage und dem Umfeld in der herrlichen alt gewachsenen Anlage unter Pinien inmitten einer bezaubernden, gepflegten Grünanlage! Erholung pur! Das Mobiliar wurde von der überaus netten Vermieterin nahezu komplett neu angeschafft und es hat an nichts gefehlt! Wünsche wurden sofort erfüllt und der Kontakt mit Ihr war unkompliziert, schnell und sehr persönlich! Wer einen unvergesslichen Urlaub an der Algarve haben möchte in einem bezaubernden, großzügigen Ambiente, der ist hier genau richtig! Ich kann nur sagen, ... wir kommen wieder ... !!!
