Beautiful Villa

Such an amazing place to stay. Pictures definitely don’t do it justice it’s beautiful. Location is great, close to shops, restaurants, the beach. Considering it is just behind the strip it is still very quiet at night/early morning. Only had a couple problems with our villa but then did get sorted quite quickly. 10/10 would recommend!!

Great Villa and location

We stayed at this Villa for a break with friends. Location is perfect for shops and new town and only a 5 min tuk tuk ride to the old town. Really clean inside and outside. Not the most modern of villas but everything you need and the agents and Vrbo made it all very easy

Perfect boys trip

Lovely villa to host 11 friends and I. Location is great and right next to the Main Street of bars and clubs (is loud until the early morning but we knew and expected this). Garden area of the villa is superb, spacious, had a nice BBQ, enjoyed the swim and ping pong table. Cheers to Sandra and team.

Gorgeous villa

This villa is beautiful and very clean with plenty of beds. If I’m honest, a bigger sofa or another sofa would have been great so we all could have sat down together. The pool was brilliant and there are plenty of bathrooms. You could throw a stone and hit the middle of the strip which makes the villa very handily placed although it meant you could hear the music at night due to the proximity. Any questions I had were answered by the property manager very promptly and the welcome meeting was very helpful and the staff really friendly and always there to answer questions via WhatsApp when needed. Overall a beautiful place to stay and help always at hand.

Lovely welcoming villa!

Lovely clean villa, just what we needed for our big family holiday. The villa was a lot better/bigger than the pictures show. The location was ideal as it is central to everything & given the strip is so close, we weren’t bothered by it at all, we could hear some music but not enough to keep you up at night & we had two babies in tow. Our only issue was the check in time being so rigid, we were outside 10/15 mins earlier, the villa was empty and ready for us & we had two small babies in tow and lots of luggage it would have been helpful to have been able to get in just that bit earlier instead of loitering outside but this was denied. The hosts however were always contactable and super friendly and we would definitely recommend them 🙂 they even did a welcome visit which was lovely!

Perfect villa fully equipped no faults

The only one thing is the strip is full of stags that gives the potential of a lot of trouble You don't hear the noise fortunately but I would recommend the old town for your nights out

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa St Martin!

The communication, location & property were perfect for our stay in Albufeira. I would recommend the property management company for all of their assistance before, during and after our stay. Worth a ***** five star rating.
