A Short walk to the main part of old Town with many restaurants and beer spots. Much quieter than the strip area and IMHO more suited for non party people. Comfortable beds Shower area could use some work as it was a challenge to keep the water from getting out to the floor ##### Stephen This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Keith 6 Feb 2025 #### loved the location away from noise and bustle but 2 minutes away were 2cafe bars loved the location away from noise and bustle but 2 minutes away were 2cafe bars.

The terrace is gorgeous but it would have been perfect with a beach umbrella or an awning to cover part of it so it could be used in the afternoon. The kitchen was fairly well-equipped, but again, especially for long stays of 15 days where it will be used a lot, it could be better stocked (there were no tablecloths or pot holders, and more towels would be needed). ##### DIEGO This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 12 Jul 2024 #### The location was excellent The location was excellent.

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 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jordan 30 Jun 2025 #### Appartement propre et idéalement situé Appartement propre et idéalement situé.
