Loved the location of this vacation rental. Close to restaurants and beaches. It was surprisingly quiet at night which may have been the time of year as we were there in mid February to early March.The bathroom lighting could improve.There were 2 lights by the mirror but we couldn’t get them to work.Don’t turn shower on full or water might flow over shower pan.This is a 2 bedroom place and it worked for my husband and I.We spent 18 nights here and it was very enjoyable! ##### Georgiana F.

We loved the little house with the big balcony!! Awesome view from the balcony. The property was right on the cliffs overlooking the ocean with a wonderful restaurant right next door! The beds were very comfortable and we liked having a washer with drying racks outside. It was close to many restaurants and a three minute walk to the beach. I would definitely stay again if we return to Albufeira Portugal!! Not really a major issue but we would prefer if linens and towels were washed in scent free detergent as I’m sensitive to perfumes. ##### Janis ### 6/10 Okay #### graham a. 6 Jan 2025 Liked: Check-in ##### graham a.
