Relaxing holiday with beautiful views

Villa Martinica gave us the best of both worlds, a peaceful countryside feel and quick access to Albufeira and Salgados beach. The villa itself is very well kept, and the layout works really well for familiescouples travelling together. The pool area was our favourite spot, surrounded by greenery and very private. Everything went smoothly from check-in to check-out.

Great family villa in a calm location

This villa was just what we were looking for, calm, spacious, and close to everything without being in the middle of the crowds. Guia is only 5 minutes away and has great local restaurants. The kids loved the pool and garden area, while we appreciated the privacy and lovely rural views. Kitchen had everything we needed, and the outdoor space was perfect for evening meals. Highly recommend it for families.

Peaceful countryside retreat near Albufeira

We had a fantastic stay at Villa Martinica, it's tucked away in a quiet area near Guia, which was perfect for relaxing after busy beach days. The views over the countryside were beautiful, and we especially enjoyed our meals on the terrace with the built-in BBQ. The house was spotless, with three good-sized bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, great for our group of friends. Would happily return!

Hervorragend

Das Haus ist sehr gerĂ€umig. Alle Schlafzimmer mit Klimaanlage und angrenzendem Bad. Erfreulicherweise wurden in 2 Badezimmern die Badewannen durch begehbare Duschen ausgetauscht. Der große Pool ist sensationell. Wir lieben diese Villa.

Portugal vacation

Although the payment process was choppy and not well organized, the property was perfect. The property is very roomy and comfortable. The kitchen well stocked. My children and grandchildren came for a family BBQ and we had enough dishes and utensils to serve everyone. The swimming pool is large and very well filtered. Once you pass the original paperwork step, the experience is one of pure delight.

Ruheoase

Sehr ruhige Lage. Auto oder Taxi erforderlich. Großer Pool, schöne Außenanlage. Das Haus ist gerĂ€umig, jedes Schlafzimmer hat ein eigenes Badezimmer. ZusĂ€tzlich ist eine separate Toilette vorhanden. Insgesamt ein hoher Erholungswert, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefĂŒhlt. Als Kritikpunkte sind zu erwĂ€hnen: Außendusche funktionierte mehrmals nicht, wurde auf Anfrage behoben. Die Außenbeleuchtung am Pool und am Eingang flackerte, behoben wurde nur die Beleuchtung am Pool. Schade fanden wir, dass wir mehrfach bis zu drei Mal an unsere MĂ€ngelanzeigen erinnern mussten, damit sich jemand kĂŒmmerte. Dadurch dauerte die MĂ€ngelbeseitigung immer relativ lange. Genereller SanierungsrĂŒckstand: Lichtschalter teilweise defekt, mehrere schon lĂ€nger bestehende WasserschĂ€den an den WĂ€nden, teilweise große Setzrisse in den WĂ€nden und Wandfliesen.

séjour septembre 2022

Maison trÚs propre, belle piscine, trÚs agréable d'avoir 3 salles de bain, linge trÚs propre, lits trÚs confortables. Arrivée pratique avec les clefs en boitier. Merci à Sandra pour son déplacement et sa sympathie. Réponse rapide en cas de petit soucis, robinet d'évier défectueux à l'extérieur changé le lendemain. Toutefois la gérance se passe en Angleterre et pour les personnes non bilingue c'est assez compliqué lors des premiers échanges par mail. Il faut également préciser que la maison est mitoyenne avec une autre location semblable, mais fin septembre ca n'était pas un problÚme. En résumé nous recommandons cette location.

TLC needed

This basic property is in need of updating and some maintenance too. The furnishings are mostly tired and dated. In particular, the pool furniture could be replaced. Overall, we genuinely believed that we overpaid for this villa. That said, we had a great time and enjoyed our stay.

Villa Martinica

Fabulous Villa, very clean, beautiful location, peaceful and tranquil. Very comfortable beds. The sofas in the lounge area are a little worn however that didn’t affect the comfort. I would recommend this Villa for all the best reasons and it’s close to all amenities. If you want to go to the beach I would recommend a car, we hired a car from the airport to the Villa but if we wanted to go out and not worry about drinking and driving we hired an Uber they are cheaper than taxis.
