ABOUT THE AREA
OURA
At 5min from the Villa, you can access the well-known and popular Oura Street, full of bars, restaurants and shops, full of excitement and early nightlife.
Oura beach with its long sandy beach is one of the best-known beaches in the whole Algarve. Those looking to feel the warmth of summer and all its surroundings, find here the ideal place.
However and if you are looking for a more relaxing holiday and Portuguese culture then we advise the old part of the reservoir.

The surrounding streets are also a delight, you can find a wide range of shops, from craft, clothing and leather shops, there are also many more restaurants and bars between shops so there is never a shortage of places to eat and drink!
There are two main beaches in the old town, Fisherman's Beach and Tunnel Beach, which are usually crowded with tourists during the bathing season.
Albufeira is also known for the quantity and quality of its beaches, being the county awarded with more blue flags.

The quiet break we needed.

The main sitting area could have done with means of heating.Other than that we found the area relaxing and the choice of local restaurants execellent.The listing should make it clear that the nearby restaurant Tres Palmeiras had been closed for a number of years.

Stay at Albufeira

We had a lovely stay at this property. The location was really convenient and within walking distance of both the old town and beaches. The property was immaculate and had everything we needed, with lots of different places to hang out together. Helena was very accommodating and helped us out with any request and let us have a later check out as there were no other guests arriving that day. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Fantastic Villa and Host

Great villa in a good location. Lots of character but with modern touches. Everything was quality. Situated between the new Albufeira strip and the old town. Five minutes walk to the beach. Nothing was too much trouble for Helena. Very helpful with the small issues we had and provided great advice as my wife was ill. Will book again.

Fantastic break!

We’ve had a fantastic 3night break as a group of 7 friends. Communication with Helena was excellent, the villa is beautiful and so spacious. The location is great, a 10 minute walk at most to the new town strip, old town is about 15 minutes but only 4 euros in an Uber. It has a lovely pool area, and a great roof top terrace. Would highly recommend this villa will definitely be returning!

The villa is located right near the new town and is only a 20min walk away from the Old Town so location is perfect. Highly recommend and will certainly be coming back next year!

Couldn’t be better

Gorgeous Villa, host was so welcoming and couldn’t do enough for us, great location and gorgeous pool area that’s a real “sun trap”. Only tiny downside is it’s quite noisy from traffic on the road when out by the pool, but it’s very minor when this place has so many pluses! Also very quiet once inside the villa, no issue with noises at night. I really couldn’t recommend this place enough, perfect

PERFECT!

Such a lovely villa, big with all the amenities you could need including cot and high chair for a 9 month old. Location was perfect - 10 min walk to the beach, old town and the strip was also close. Loads of supermarkets and restaurants close by. Helena was a superb host, so attentive, quick to respond and so helpful. My one recommendation would be some heating for the pool as it was very cold but apart from that it was perfect for us. Thank you so much!

Quality experience in a beautiful family villa.

The villa is very well designed for family living. Using everything in it has been a pleasure. It has ample bedrooms, luxury bathrooms, well-appointed kitchen, a light and airy lounge and plenty of outdoor spaces. The charming inner courtyard, roof terrace, bbq patio were all well-used during our stay as was, of course, the swimming pool and tub area. Many thanks, too, to Helena for arranging the upgrade of the wifi before our stay, as requested.

Great villa close to restaurants, old town and strip

Really lovely 3 bedroom villa, loads of space and everything you need. Really clean and well maintained. Children loved to feed the fish and turtle in the courtyard too. Villa is right on a roundabout but has a drive so you can park a car. It is on a roadside which does have some noise but when in the garden it is only the double decker bus that can see in! Only issue is the cold swimming pool, which in April was just too cold for us. The mini pool did get warm about 3pm - which was great. Would recommend!

Fabulous Holiday

We had a wonderful time staying at Helena’s Villa. The villa had everything we could ask for and was clean and well equipped when we arrived. The children adored the fish pond with the resident turtle. The only small negatives were that the noise of traffic was quite loud through the day and night. We come from a silent neighbourhood though so perhaps that’s why I noticed it so much. The pool was cold (end October) but it didn’t stop the children from playing in there anyway, some heating for either the pool or the hot tub would have made things perfect. Thanks Helena for a wonderful stay!

Lovely traditional Portuguese style property

An excellent Portuguese style property conveniently located between the old and new towns in Albufeira. The property is much larger than the photos make out, with 3 spacious bedrooms, living area and kitchen. The outside space is ample for a larger family that is looking to entertain or a quiet family break. If we venture to the Algarve again we shall definitely look to stay here again.

Great location

We were five friends on a long weekend break in April, we wanted somewhere that was relaxed, close to amenities, close to nice restaurants with good food, the option of bars if we wanted & close to the beach. We found all of this with Helena’s apartment which was in a perfect spot for all our needs. Helena was very accommodating & friendly, she welcomed us with a tour of the villa and helpful information. Our only suggestion would be to invest in some solar heaters for the pool, which was freezing. Helena did inform us of this before our booking. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you

EXCEPTIONAL

The villa was exceptional and was a home from home, every detail and needs were catered for without exception. Helena herself was a fabulous host and made herself available to help out in anyway, nothing was too much trouble an absolute star. The location of the villa is second to none so near to the old town and the strip with plenty of bars and restaurants. A visit to "O Farnel " steak house 5 minute walk away from the villa towards the strip is a must and "Stew and More" just round the corner is top class too. A return to this beautiful villa is top of our list for future vacations. Thanks again Helena for a beautiful stay.

Amazing!

The villa was spotlessly clean and well equipped and just a short stroll to the old town. Helena the host was extremely helpful in showing us around the villa and explained everything. After the last awful 18 months of covid it was lovely to totally chill and switch off. We ate out every night, 3 of which were at the gorgeous restaurant just round the corner called Stews and More, food was amazing and definite not just stews! We will definitely be back to this lovely villa 😍

Excellent Villa with everything you need

Our experience of our stay at this villa was very good. Helena was there to greet us upon arrival and gave us a comprehensive tour of the Villa and explained everything we needed to know about the property. The property is very spacious with all the conveniences you could ask for, basically it was like home from home ! Very clean and tidy, whilst full of character ranging from the main pool area throughout the Villa building, to the courtyard and secluded terrace area. The Villa was a great location for our stay with plenty of shops, bars and restaurants within walking distance. Ten minutes walk from the beach and about twenty minutes from the Old Town. Helena was very helpful and a pleasure to deal with. We would highly recommend this accommodation.
