Really good communication with agency from the start of booking and all throughout our stay.
The villa is exactly as advertised and in a good location to supermarkets, restaurants and the beach.
Staff were really friendly and very responsive we we had a couple of.issues.
We had a lovely holiday here.
Big group of friend's (18y/o) staying here for a week in july , and the place had everything we needed. Pool was perfect temperature wise even without the heating, nice grass area large enough for a small game of keep it up with a football. Good location a walk away from a small beach, big beach, restaurants in the town, a nice sports bar and convenience shops. Ubers are fantastic in this area on demand and usually arrive within about 5 minutes of ordering, allowing easy access to albufeira and further. Spacious enough bedrooms even with 10 people. Pool table, table football and table tennis provided entertainment as well as a lovely outdoor grill overlooking the sea. Overall a very recommendable villa
