Albufeira is one of the top holiday destinations in the Algarve. With its mix of New and Old Town. The old town remains an unusually pretty village with its narrow cobblestone streets, twisting lanes of whitewashed houses and terracotta roofs above a beautiful spread of beaches. In the day time walk around all the local shops and have a drink in one of the many Bar's and Restaurant over looking the picturesque beaches. In the night watch the town come alive with street performers and music . In one of the many great Restaurant's why not try chicken piri piri one of the local dishes.

In the New Town you have late Bars and Discos open in the early hours. With some more great Restaurants.
All this is with 20 min walk from the Villa. Also don't forget about Slide and Splash, Aqualand, Zoomarine all with in 20min drive and some of finest golf course with in 10min drive from Villa Santa.

Good location close to bars/restaurants and walkable to the beach and the Strip. A good spacious open plan kitchen/dining/sitting area and the bedrooms/bathroom layout worked well for our family of 12 (three generations). The kitchen facilities/equipment provided were good. The pool was lovely (didn't use the bbq as it was not clean). In general the place is badly in need of some TLC/maintenance - if this was done I would recommend this Villa as we did enjoy the stay on the whole. The host responded very quickly to messages both before and during our stay.

Hen Party

I had booked Villa Santa for my sister's hen weekend and it was the perfect accommodation close to main strip by a short walk. Jim was very accommodating and very quick replies with the communication back and forward. We would definitely recommend villa Santa to anyone who is interested in booking and hope to return again ourselves.

Absolutely perfect stay!

The property itself had everything we needed! The location was perfect for bars, beach, the strip, restaurants and all local shops! The pool was just what we expected and we used it everyday! The host catered for our needs with pull out beds, towels and sun beds. The owner was a quick to fix pool filter and was very easy to contact aswell as a taxi driver who we used for airport transfer! Everyone enjoyed the stay and having an early check in and late check out due to flight changes really helped us as a group! I cannot fault anything in the villa, it’s was perfect for our group and would highly recommend staying at villa Santa! The outside area was perfect, lots of seats and sun beds, very private and inside the villa was big, clean and enough bathrooms, amenities and even a ping pong table!

Hen-do group of 12

Couldn't fault Jim as a host. He was always on hand to answer any questions and also pointed us in the direction of a local transfer. The location of the villa was perfect for a hen-do with a convenience shop less than 5 minute walk, and the strip about a 10 minute walk. The villa was plenty big enough for 12 women, although it was a struggle for hot water when everyone showered at once (to be expected) I would say that there is some maintenance that needs to be addressed; unable to close doors properly, filter by the poolside is a trip hazard, unable to open blinds etc. But these things were minor in comparison to the great time that we had. Would definitely book again for a group of adults. Thanks Jim and team :)

Incredible!

First of all, the location was perfect. A 10 min walk to the strip, a 1 min walk to a Spar, 10 min walk to a beautiful beach, and you can of course get ubers easily everywhere too. I would say though that it's easier to put your location as the Santa Eulalia hotel and spa which is right next door to the villa, because nobody can seem to find the villa! That's because it is surrounded with a white wall that gives great privacy and makes it very unassuming on the street - ideal! Jim was fantastic with communication and when we had a toilet blocked he sent someone out 2hrs later to fix it which was so amazing of him. The place itself is beautiful with lots of bathrooms. The hot water did run out near the end of all 10 of us having showers but after we noticed, everyone just took much shorter showers haha. The pool area had enough loungers for everyone and people enjoyed the pool and the ping pong table. Having our own beautiful private space for our hen do was just perfect and we have all decided we want to come back definitely.

A great size property, the living and kitchen space is nice and big for hosting a big holiday. The pool was also a great size and enough sun loungers/seating area. The rooms were clean. Kitchen has enough utensils etc, the oven did trip the electrics but easily fixed by switching the electrics back on. Otherwise no problem just when using oven. Villa felt safe and secure. Great location, beach close by and local shops too We managed to lock our personal stuff in the villa safe so I contacted Jim. He was quick to reply and sent the maintenance staff out to help resolve the issue. Thank you! Helpful host.

Jim was fantastic with communication, always responded and was very helpful. Villa was large enough for 13 of us and was a great location to beach and a short walk to the ice cream hut and the strip. A few things weren’t working and a some tiles around pool broken- but Jim is now on the case to get these issues resolved for future guests. We would stay here again due to location and for Jim being so good with things raised and being on it with helping with any questions.

This was so perfect for a hen party of 12. As the lead booker, the fuzzy pictures worried me slightly but on arrival I saw it was nothing to panic about so don’t let that put you off. Location was 10/10 and secluded so you don’t need to worry about being too loud! Facilities were clean and rooms were big and spacious. Pool area also fantastic. Only 2 small comments was there were a couple of cockroaches (can’t be helped in a warm country) but the host got people round to help immediately. The second was I would have expected more toilet roll to have been left for the number of nights and people but there was a Spar about 1 minute away to get more throughout the trip! Would 100% reccomend and book again for a large group. The host Jim was available pretty much 24/7 from booking right through to the end of our stay for help and guidance.

We stayed at Villa Santa in Albufeira for 4 days as part of my friend’s stag do, and we couldn’t have picked a better spot. The location was ideal — just a short walk to all the action on The Strip, but tucked away enough that we had complete privacy and peace when we wanted to unwind.The check-in and check-out process was smooth and well-organised, with Jim making everything easy for us. The villa itself was spacious, clean, and perfect for a group getaway.Our only regret was not staying longer — it was the perfect base for an unforgettable weekend. Big thanks to Jim and the team for hosting us!

Fantastic stay

The villa is beautiful and in a perfect location, less than 5-10 minutes walk from the strip and a 2 minute walk from a great bar to have breakfast, lunch or dinner at and a shop. Jim was a perfect host, always available when needed but not hounding us at all while we were there enjoying our trip. Would recommend to any group heading out looking for a great place to stay! There was 12 of us staying there as part of a stag party and it was perfect.

Would love to give 5 star

The only shortfall is the accuracy of the online listing - I believe it mentioned the pool was heated, but we couldn’t figure that out. The WiFi didn’t work. BUT this was such a perfect villa, the issues didn’t phase us, it would have been nice to have. But after a few hours everyone forgot, there were 14 of us and we loved it. The location is just top tier. Shops round the corner, the strip and beaches are walking distance. I also want to thank Jim, planning a hen for 14 wasn’t easy, but the communication with Jim was so easy and really made a big difference. So I really appreciate it.
