The conversion of my family home into a stunning holiday accommodation it is a dream come true. The outcome is a beautiful building, tastefully decorated, finished and furnished to an extremely high standard. It required a hard work and a big investment but all our goals have been achieved.

Amazing place to stay and location is perfect on the doorstep!
The townhouse was amazing and perfect for our stay, location is exactly as it said. You walk out of the door and you are literally in old town. Some beautiful little eateries, shops and massage places on the street itself and walk down a little and there is a multitude of shops, bars etc. the beach is right there too and easy to just sit back and relax with a drink. I would highly recommend to all!

The best location
The location couldn't have been better. The unit had some issues, but the owner was very responsive to all our concerns. There are lots of stairs to climb so be prepared. It is a large property and can accommodate 10 people comfortably. Would recommend for a great stay in the Old Town Albufeira.

Amazing old town house
Absolutely delightful holiday home! The pictures truly don't capture the essence of this place. Nestled in the heart of the charming old town, it's conveniently located within walking distance of everything. Paulo, the owner, is incredibly kind, helpful, and always prompt with responses to any queries. He efficiently organized transfers to and from Faro Airport, which were flawless. If you're planning a stress-free holiday in Albufeira with ample space and a fantastic location, look no further. You won't be disappointed. Warm regards, Kevin"

Location Location Location
It was all about location for us in Albufeira. The flat is right in the heart of the Old Town and only a 3 minute walk to the beach. The flat is over 3 levels so if you are not used to stairs this would need to be considered. I could not fault the communication we had with Paulo and Cristina, from first booking to checkin and check out. We even got into the apartment earlier which was a real bonus.

Great location but…
Was a super location. Property manager/owner was wonderful with communication. Overall there needs to be some changes. The patio was the most disappointing. The umbrella didn’t work at all so we had no afternoon sun coverage. The pool was unusable due to to much chemicals. Space needs to be cleaned up as there are to Many unusable patio loungers. Inside, new towels must be purchased. Very grey and old Overall we did enjoy

Perfect location
You could not have asked for a better location to visit Albuferia. Easy walking distance to the beach and restaurants.sometimes a night it could be noisy with people talking as they walked home from a evening out. The roof top was a great place to sit for drinks and snacks or take a quick dip in the pool. (Still a little cool for early April). The kitchen was empty of any spices or supplies, so it was expensive to stock up on spices, foils, garbage bags, or any basic kitchen supplies. Each bathroom was supplied with one roll of toilet paper after that you must supply your own. The shower curtain need replacing.These small things make a difference from a good rental to a mediocre rental.

Situation idéale de la maison dans le centre ville, à 2mn à pied de la jolie plage - Roof top très agréable - Manque un peu de confort (literies moyennes, armoires cassées, vaisselle manquante, linge de lit et serviettes tachées, transat cassé) - Proprio néanmoins très sympatique et arrangeant - Littoral magnifique - Noter que la vie à Albufeira est relativement chère

Idéalement située
Idéalement située mais des rénovations s’imposent. Manque de matériel utilisable pour la cuisine (poêle inutilisable par exemple). Pour 10 personnes il manque une table extérieure et des chaises. On a dû demandé un parasol car tous cassés… Le gérant a fait le nécessaire dans la journée, il est très disponible et agréable. Le kit nécessaire pour l’arrivée est inexistant c’est dommage. Changement du linge de maison au bout d’une semaine très appréciable même si ils sont tachés. La piscine est un vrai plus avec les transats même si l’un était aussi cassé. Très bon séjour malgré tout car l’emplacement est au top !!

Great for a large group
The location is fantastic and is the perfect base to explore both the beautiful old town and experience the amazing nightlife. The apartment was far larger than it seemed in photos, meaning it was perfect for our group of 10. The beds were comfortable and air conditioning in each room was a big plus. The pool is suited to 4 or 5 people, rather than 10 and not designed for messing around in. In what was our own fault, we had damaged the pool but Paulo’s demeanour was respectful and patient in sorting the matter. As for the location, being in the old town meant that most nights taxi’s were not needed, as the old town was surprisingly lively, with the strip just a 5 minute taxi away, or a 20 minute walk if you’re brave. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the house, with the only dampener being our own fault with the damage to the pool. A fantastic area, great host and perfect for a first holiday with your mates.

Sympa mais chère pour le standing de l’immeuble
Pas de problème particulier , hormis que le prix est trop élevé par rapport au standing. Sinon propriétaire très sympathique et arrangeant . Emplacement au top Terrasse excellente, piscine vraiment accessoire . L’alcool et la nourriture vendue sur Albufeira au prix français . Il faut redoubler d’efforts et s’éloigner pour faire des affaires , y compris pour les restaurants. Les bars vendent des cocktails avec une lichette d’alcool ... Activités touristiques à faire absolument. Côtes sublimes.

Large house with everything you need in the most central area of the old town.
We had a great stay with 8 people. The house is large and has ample room for us all. Everything was effortless from booking the house, paying breakage deposit and getting money straight back. Taxis were arranged for transfer to and from the airport. It would have been 5 stars but for some of the furniture which needed updating or replacing. Overall I would recommend this accomadation as amazing value for money In the centre of the old town but surprisingly quiet from the buzz of the are.
