We thoroughly enjoyed our 13 night stay at Casa Helena. The apartment is located in a great location, just steps from old town, and is not only very clean, but very well equipped with everything you need - and more. Helena is a great host and strives to ensure you enjoy your stay. If we return to Albufeira this apartment will be first on our list!

It’s hard to believe our time at Casa Helena has come to an end. We have has such an amazing time here in this beautiful community of Albuferia. The views from Casa Helena have been spectacular. Helena has got to be the best VRBO host I have ever dealt with. The apartment is exactly as it is posted in the listing. It is well stocked , very clean and in a very quiet area of Old Town. Helena is an exceptional communicator often responding within minutes of our messages. It has been a real pleasure to stay here and we would love to come back again.

Such a beautiful apartment, and it was spotless and so well equipped. It is in a very convenient location. Helena gave great directions and instructions. We have stayed in numerous VRBO’s and this was one of our favorites. It was definitely the cleanest we have ever stayed. Sadly due to the weather we were unable to enjoy the beautiful terrace. We hope to return.

Our experience was exceptional. All aspects of the rental exceeded our expectations and provided us with a very enjoyable holiday. The apartment was very clean and every item we could possibly require to enjoy our 2 week stay was included. In particular the kitchen had all the items we required to prepare our own meals and to enjoy the extraordinary ocean view from the spacious patio/deck. A Thankful Canadian couple.
