We loved the house, and the outdoor spaces were the highlight of our stay. Waking up to the panoramic ocean view while having breakfast was unforgettable. The pool area is very private and relaxing. We also enjoyed dinner at a lovely seafood restaurant just a short walk away.

Perfect location and very peaceful
The villa is amazing and very spacious for our group. Being right next to the ecological reserve made it so quiet, yet we were so close to the best beaches. We loved the house, and the outdoor spaces and balconies were perfect for watching the sunset. We also enjoyed dinner at a traditional restaurant in the center.

Stunning sea views and peaceful stay
We had a fantastic stay at Villa Saint John. The views over the sea are absolutely stunning and really make the experience special, especially at sunset. The villa is spacious, clean and very comfortable, with well-equipped bedrooms and everything we needed for our stay. The pool area and terraces were perfect for relaxing during the day. The location is also excellent, very peaceful but still close to beaches and restaurants in Albufeira. Highly recommended.

Unforgettable Family Getaway
Our first-time visit to Albufeira became a magical experience at this stunning villa. The villa's panoramic vistas created a perfect setting for our family of five—my partner and three kids.
The villa is spacious and well equipped and confortable. Its strategic location allowed us to explore the beauty of the Algarve effortlessly.
Our family getaway was a perfect blend of relaxation and exploration. Highly recommended for an unforgettable Algarve experience.
This is a good villa for both smaller or larger groups. The rep was very helpful and always responded immediately when contacted. The villa was lovely and clean, spacious and room for the eight of us travelling. Eating out was cheap and the fish was always good quality and value. There are lots of beaches to explore,so many places to eat my favorite was the old town, Gale beach bar and restaurants a must and for the evening sunset. We will definitely be taking a trip back to the Algarve hopefully yearly.

Villa
Property generally good in a great location. Beds/mattresses could be better. Shortage of glasses but additional ones were provided on request. Outdoor area lacked shade and parossol was broken. Shade needs replacement for high summer
we have booked "Villa Saint John" for a one week vacation with 9 person (4 adults / 5 kids)
Communication with local representative was easy and entering the house as well.
At our arrival at late evening we found the house in a not perfect condiction. There has been a strong smell in some of the bathroom and the rest of the house seamed to need a urgent ventilation. Floors had not been really clean and we found hairs and dirt spots in the beds! After one hour of cleaning it was ok.
Bedise that we had technical issues: one shower head was defect, one door knob was dfective, soil pipe of the kitchen sink was leaking. We reported this issued to the local office and all was handled within 24 hours.
Generally speaking this is a nice house on a great spot. View from terasse is great and all rooms offer enough space for a huge group of people. The pool is huge enough to have fun and the sun deck is equiped with sunloungers and parasols.
Some of the house facilities are pretty worn and it would be good to have replacement to make a stay there more enjoyable.
A estadia foi boa. A casa necessita de revisão: não consegui abrir a porta de ferro da entrada pelo que utilizamos sempre o portão cuja fechadura estava avariada, funcionando apenas com chave; a fechadura da porta da cozinha para a sala está avariada, situação potencialmente perigosa porque se a porta da rua da cozinha estiver fachada e a chave estiver na cozinha, não se tem acesso à cozinha. O colchão da cama suplementar é muito mau, é um colchão de molas em vez de espuma, colocado dobrado num divã de armar.
