The condo was in a great stop, just a short walk to all the restaurant's , beach and shops. Very nicely equipped, clean and comfortable. The balcony was located that we got sun from sunrise to sunset.

Beautiful apartment
Check in and check out details were very clear.
We were allowed into the apartment earlier than the 4 pm check-in time.
Apartment very clean and spacious with 2 outside balconys.
Had everything we needed for the weeks stay, the Washing machine was an added bonus to freshen up the bathroom towels mid stay.
Handwash and shower gel in both bathrooms was supplied along with Washing up liquid.
Ensuite shower was great until someone used the bathroom shower at the same time and the water pressure dropped to practically a dribble, so we only used one shower at a time.

This is a great two bedroom apartment. Large living room, dining and kitchen. Kitchen is well equipped with good appliances and easy to prepare a meal if that is your thing. An easy walk down the hill two blocks to the Old Town and many of the restaurants and shops. Quiet in January but I imagine bustling in the season. We walked the beach almost every day. Lovely!

Dear Jane,
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It sounds like you had a wonderful time. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the spacious apartment, well-equipped kitchen, and the easy access to Old Town .January can definitely be a peaceful time to visit, but you're right, it must be vibrant during the busier season. We hope you’ll have the chance to visit again!
Kind regards

This is a no expense spared apartment, spotlessly clean, everything seems brand new. There were little extras like pool towels which we’ve never had before. Were lucky enough to meet Vince the owner who was absolutely brilliant and very welcoming and nothing was any trouble. Would love to return in future

Agreable sejour. Appartement spacieux et lumineux, très bien équipé
Belle appartement, bien situé sur Albufeira pour profiter des bars et restaurants à proximité.
Plages rapidement accessibles.
Points négatif :
- un seul jeu de clé rendant pénible l'accès à l'appartement.
- Table du balcon trop petite pour y manger à plus de 2.
- Baignoire Balnéo hors service.
- Porte du frigidaire à régler.
Très agréable séjour dans son ensemble.

Apartment was fantastic with all mod cons, location is great close enough & far enough from noise
Easy to book & OC Villas were very quick in responding via e-mail with everything that we needed to do with clear & precise instructions, booked the transfer with them for 7 people too and received great service both ways.
Property was immaculate & we would highly recommend this apartment that comfortably sleeps 6. Nice touches also by providing pool towels as well as bath towels. The owner is regularly available and was around most days if there were any issues and OC Villas also on hand via telephone and what’s app.
Would definitely return and use OC villas and apartment again

Fantastic place to stay.
We absolutely loved staying in this apartment. A very high standard throughout in terms of decoration and appliances. We never want to stay anywhere else now! Location was excellent but if you have mobility issues the hill is quite steep.
Pool area was lovely, one tiny improvement would be some umbrellas for shade but as this is an unsupervised pool I understand why they weren't available.
Overall our whole party couldn't of been happier. Every need catered to.

Fantastic apartment set in a brilliant location to the old town. I honestly think this is one of the best apartments that we have stayed in. Every little detail was covered by the owners, not the usual boring holiday rental. Excellent stay in an excellent apartment. Highly highly recommend.

Could not have been better!
This apartment/condo is perfect. Bright, modern and very well equipped. The location is excellent and very quiet at night for sleeping. We could walk to the beach, shopping and the many restaurants in old town Albufeira.
We enjoyed our stay very much and would not hesitate to return.

We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our holiday in a fabulous apartment in albufiera.
Apartment had everything you could ever wish for. Superb location to old town albufiera- very close to shops restaurants and beach. We loved the pool and equally enjoyed sun bathing on a choice of two verandas. Would highly recommend this apartment.

Magnifique location
Superbe sejour dans cette location magnifique ; la modernité de l'appartement, les terrasses bien exposées et surtout la grande propreté de celui-ci en font un endroit de rêve. L'accueil qui nous a été réservé , à la fois par Vincent le propriétaire mais aussi et surtout par toute l'équipe OC Villas est très chaleureux et convivial. Merci à Tania à Débora pour leur efficacité et réactivité. Mais surtout un grand merci à Gabriela , très professionnelle, qui a été d'une formidable gentillesse et qui nous a très bien renseigné sur les lieux et plages à visiter; elle nous a aussi communiqué quelques bonnes adresses de restaurants que nous n'avons pas tous eu l'occasion de fréquenter par manque de temps. La proximité de la vieille ville et du bord de mer sont un plus incontestable pour réserver cet endroit . Nous reviendrons très prochainement avec le plus grand plaisir. Encore merci à tous et nous vous souhaitons le meilleur pour l'avenir.
Très cordialement

Super place, excellent situation
The apartment is extremely well furnished and presented, it was is absolutely lovely, with top quality everything, a delight. The location is perfect with the two balconies getting the sun in the morning afternoon and evening. It's very quiet, safe but also with a very quick walk into town. We brought two bikes and it was very safe to leave these on the balcony as this was on the 3rd floor, but also as the apartment is on a slope the access was at ground level too, so no carrying of the bikes.

A beautifully furnished wonderful apartment in a fantastic location.
The apartment is excellent in every way. It is furnished and finished to a very high specification. All in all we had an exceptional stay & appreciated the incredibly comfortable surroundings. The pool is superb, ultra clean & fantastic water quality. The location is perfect just slightly way from the noise of the old town, but only a 3 minute walk to all that the old town has to offer. The walk is on a steep gradient however it's over before you notice it. The balconies in the apartment offer guests private outdoor space to accompany the more than generous internal space. We will be recommending the apartment to friends & family, and would definitely return. There is certainly a wow factor about this apartment, even though the website photos are great they do not come close to The lived experience of staying in the apartment. Get booking as this apartment ticks every box & will undoubtedly be booked up for weeks at a time 😎

Fantastic apartment in outstanding condition
Just spent a delightful week in Albufeira in the best apartment we have ever rented. The apartment is ideally situated about 400m from the main square in Old Town Albufeira up a bit of a slope but quite manageable. We had a shared pool that was never too busy ( we were there in September however) and the apartment was level with the road but on the 4th floor so a few steps to get down to the pool, which due to its position was well sheltered.
All the facilities in the apartment were first class, I cannot recommend it highly enough.
