We had a great time! Communication with Hans & Mandy was perfect and Oksana warmly welcomed us at the condo. The apartment is well equipped and super clean. We especially enjoyed the large balcony with views towards the sea and marina. It's great to have your own space in the underground garage with direct access to your apartment via an elevator. The location close to the lively old town and beach (but still at the "calm end" of Albufeira) is perfect.

Lovely apartment well located, large and comfortable. Everything worked and the pool was quiet and large. A few minor points to be considered; the internal tray and wire shelf of the cooker had not been cleaned and had previous occupiers food. Please replace kitchen light it appears to be only 25 watt. Finally print out washing machine programmes ( the knob only has single letters). We had a very nice time with car just down below in a large garage fully recommend this apartment.

Thank you for letting us know your 'minor points' otherwise we would have not found this out. We will definetly let this know to the housekeeping as the cooker should off course be cleaned before any guests. Ourselve will be there the coming month so will replace the light bulb as well and bring along a print of the washing machine programmes, good one! Thank you once again!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Hans and Mandy’s apartment in Albufeira. Everything was perfect from beginning to end.A special thank you also to Oksana, who welcomed us so warmly when we arrived. She was incredibly friendly and helpful, showed us around the apartment, explained everything we needed to know and made sure we knew where everything was. It was a lovely way to start our stay and immediately made us feel at home.The apartment itself was beautiful, very comfortable and had absolutely amazing views. It was also incredibly well equipped — honestly, it had everything we could possibly need! Olive oil, salt, spices, cooking utensils, frying pans and all those little things that make such a difference when you're away from home. We didn't feel that anything was missing.Everything was clean, comfortable and very well looked after, and the location was fantastic. It really felt like a home away from home.Thank you so much to Hans, Mandy and Oksana for making our stay in Albufeira so special. We had a fantastic time, everything was perfect, and we would definitely love to stay here again.Highly recommended!

Great Apartment

The property is ideally situated equidistant between the old town and the Marina. The apartment is spacious and was adequatly equipped for our needs. The views from the balcony are wonderful. This was our second visit and we enjoyed our stay as much as the first time.

A great place for a holiday with children. The apartment is located in a gated community, the swimming pool is for residents only, so it's not crowded. Shops and restaurants are close by, a 10- to 15-minute walk away. The beach, Old Town, and the Marina are all within a 10- to 15-minute walk. Albufeira is hilly, so unless you rent a car, expect some uphill and downhill walking. We highly recommend it!

A beautiful apartment in a relaxed part of Albufeira that is about a 10-15 minute walk into the Old Town. The apartment features a beautiful quiet balcony overlooking the ocean, has a fantastic kitchen with stove, washing machine etc., a really comfortable bed, and access to a swimming pool that is perfect for relaxing. The hospitality of and communication with the owners and the property manager were second to none which allowed us to feel very relaxed and enjoy our holiday. Thank you for a brilliant stay at the Encosta da Orada!

Top of the Hill

We had a great stay. The view from the deck was amazing! The Marina and neighbourhood below is so colourful and the ocean views! The apartment is spacious and the 3 doors to the deck make it seem like indoor/outdoor living. It's a short walk downhill to the Marina or to the old city. We found some nice shortcuts, still can't avoid the uphill going home!

Good Stay

Very happy with the full process: Good comms with/from the owner, efficient arrival/handover process, clean flat, good a/c and lovely views from the wide balcony. The only slight concern is the location at the top of a hill. This might be a concern to some.

Sorry to hear about your experience! I was in the apartment the week before your stay (leaving in the morning of your arrival) having done the wash of the towels myself. And after we have left, the linen & extra cleaning should have been done so we will definetly check it so thanks for letting us know. First time we heard this, and last time as well, will not happen again!

First Visit To Albufeira

Comfortable apartment. Our local contact was quick to resolve any issue with the condo. The location of this property is key. Within walking distance to the marina, old town. Bus stop just outside the property boundary. A convenience store (Intermarche) is a10 minute walk for groceries, bank machine, cappuccino bar. Old town is on a beautiful beach and full of shops, restaurants. The bus service is very convenient to get around town or if you want to do day trips to other towns (Lagos, Loule, etc).

Perfect!

Communication was excellent and the apartment was perfect for our 1 week stay. We were provided with clear instructions and met by the lovely Oksana who showed us where to find everything and handed us 2 sets of keys. The apartment was clean, spacious and well equipped along with the most amazing views from the large balcony. The communal pools are lovely and inviting with plenty of sunbeds - pool/beach towels are provided in the apartment. Location was perfect for us and within walking distance to all local amenities, beach and town. There is something for everyone in the area and suitable for all ages. The apartment is quite high up, and the walk down/up can be quite steep, but Ubers are very cheap 3-4 Euros, which we used several times. The Uber from the airport to the apartment was 32 Euros. We had no issues during our stay and would highly recommend! We will definitely stay here again and Portugal is beautiful :) Thank you Hans and Mandy for an enjoyable stay.

Home sweet home for a month. We would return!

Communication with owner & manager was fantastic & the condo was as advertised. The owner was gracious & flexible when travel plans changed for us. Couldn’t have been happier. The gated, private complex with beautiful grounds & pool became a lovely home away from home to return to each day. Bright & modern with unforgettable views of ocean, marina & bluffs from all 3 glass sliding doors were a big seller for us! The vista could be enjoyed from the main living space, the kitchen & each morning from our bed! I’ll add that the bed is more a King size than double & very comfortable. The sunsets every night were breathtaking. The large & very private balcony was a sanctuary & made us feel we could bring the outdoors in on warm days. The airiness & sunshine all day were very welcomed during our month getaway, February into March. . Our walks to the Marina, Old Town & beyond, as well as to our friendly well equipped local grocery store, became nearly daily enjoyable routines. Views within town & beyond are lovely. It was a perfect location for us. Thank you Hans & Mandy

This rental made our visit to Albufeira perfect

We stayed at this rental from September 5th to the 17th, 2024. Every aspect of our rental was perfect. The rooms were spacious and comfortable; all appliances, including a dishwasher and washing machine, were available; the balcony extended the full length of our rental and was accessible from the bedroom, kitchen and living room; and the panoramic view from the balcony was amazing. In fact we ate many of our meals on the balcony. We also made good use of the swimming pool. Both Hans and Diana responded promptly to any questions we had about the rental. The rental is located on top of a hill, which added to the view. We were about a 10 minute walk from a great restaurant which featured music from the '70s and a grocery store; and a 15 minute walk to the Marina. We didn't rent a car this time, and we walked to the local amenities. This was was a bit of a challenge early on, but we adapted. In short, the photos of the rental featured on VRBO accurately reflected the furnishings and layout of this rental. I have no reservations about referring it to anyone looking to stay in Albufeira.

Vacation April 01 - April 15, 2023

Very nice second floor Condo. Close to pool area and fantastic view Of the Marina , hills, coastline, and sunset from the patio. The Condo was very clean and a good size for a couple. If you like to cook some meals rather than eat out every day the kitchen is poorly equipped. Minimal cutlery, no knife for chopping/ slicing, no grater, no roster for oven cooking etc. The patio furniture, in particular the plastic chairs are uncomfortable if you want to sit out for any period of time. There are two sun loungers but the backs are not adjustable so you can only lay down. Attention to these details would make the stay a little nicer. We were only provided one set of keys for the main gate, condo building and the condo itself. This was problematic if my wife and I were not always together when away from the condo as one or the other did not have keys to access the condo. We did reach out to the manager regarding additional mugs, table knives and bowls so we would not have to run the dishwasher as often. ( as per the request posted on the kitchen wall) Also we requested facecloths as there weren’t any. She was unhelpful. Overall it’s a nice condo and we enjoyed our stay

Thank you very much for the constructive feedback, appreciated. As I told you I’m there myself for a couple of days now and noticed some items were indeed missing. Also as you say so went down and got some items to update certain needs. So more kitchen stuff (i.e. cutlery, chefs knives & mugs, towels) as wel as an extra set of keys, new shower curtain and more. Also put in order a big extra mirror and outdoor chairs but god knows how long that takes to be delivered overe here but its a go. Thanks again for your stay and feedback!

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cet appartement ! Tout y est agréable : l'emplacement, la vue imprenable sur Albufeira et l'océan (surtout la nuit), les équipements de l'appartement, les parties communes impeccable, de la piscine (magnifique), un parking privé et sécurisé facile d'accès. Le gros avantage c'est de pouvoir allier un séjour au calme tout en étant proche de la mer (15 minutes à pied), la marina, le centre ville. Nous y retournerons !
