Plenty of room for a couple or family, nice kitchen to cook in and plenty of entertainment room downstairs and at your private backyard. Loved having a pool to ourselves and a balcony that looked out to the ocean. Very peaceful and quiet!! Beach close by was small and not busy which was nice. Easy quick drive into Albufiera for food or to walk around. Parking below the property is a little bit of a pain, but nice and safe since the villas are gated. ##### Thomas Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dan 31 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Clean, friendly staff very quiet. ##### Dan Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brandy 16 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Was not expecting how big this place was- a nice surprise!

The room had everything we needed and was very clean. The front desk staff was very helpful— offering warm greetings each morning and tips on local things to do. Breakfast was nice and offered a variety of things to chose from. Loved the quiet location and the easy walk to the nearby beach. The hotel does not provide parking, but the public parking on the street was easily accessible each night. ![View from the property](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1b270f5f-1bc5-4694-b10f-2a0f59af4d49-1757284714393.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Shared pool ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/339d7298-ab5c-4308-b80c-469e6ed01cf1-1757284714251.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Local beach](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/cc679be5-a17c-48db-b932-0da99579550d-1757284719859.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Nancy Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rashel 1 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very beautiful place for its price!
