Clean but Basic

The house was easy to find, clean, but overall a disappointing stay. Beautiful views but a basic rental for the cost. The house was worn with cheap linens and furniture. Details missed like a broken hair dryer, drying rack and bathrooms in need of new cabinets and grout cleaning. The property management company will send many emails, insist on a welcome meeting, try to sell you tours and require you to use their system. The hot tub is more of a warm tub which they claimed was for our safety so we did not end up using it. We own a hot tub and have used many in Europe that actually get hot. We paid the listed amount, then the pool service came to shock it so we could not use for a day. We have stayed in better homes in the area and recommend that you do too.

Beautiful villa and location

We stayed here with our 20 year old daughter and her boyfriend and our 18 year old son and his girlfriend. It was perfect! quiet location a 3 minute walk for the beach, and only 10 minutes in an Uber for the young ones to go out and enjoy the nightlife in old town or the strip. Villa was modern, clean and spacious. Would recommend :)

Outstanding Villa!

Ultra modern with all necessary amenities. Location is 2 mins walk from beach and a 10 min ride to Old Town. Having stopped in a variety of Villas near Albufeira each year for past 12 years, this is the best of the lot. Will definitely return!

La villa est idéalement située rien à dire au top Par contre les images du site ne reflète pas exactement la réalité La piscine commence à être délabrée et nous n avons vu personne la nettoyer en 2 semaines ! le jacuzzi coûte 203 par semaine en plus la terrasse est très sale je pense qu’elle n est jamais nettoyée à fond La deco interieure c est zero toit est blanc c triste Les équipements cuisine et la décoration intérieures ne sont pas a la hauteur d’une villa tous les meubles ne sont plus du tout d actualité et minimalistesLa maison devait etre belle il y a 15 ans mais a besoin d une rénovation car elle devient has-been Malgré tout nous avons passés un super séjour grâce a l situation géographique

Feedback

Die eine Couch hat leider gefehlt. Hier muss aufgrund der Anzahl der Personen nachgebessert werden. Auf den Fotos ist ein weiteres Couchelement und eine weiße Couch. Es fehlen Bilder. Es sind nur noch die hässlichen Klebereste etc. zu sehen. Es würde mittels Bilder etc. gemütlicher werden. Der Jacuzzi hat dann erst nach einer Woche die gewünschte Temperatur bekommen. Das Garagentor geht nach kurzer Zeit wieder automatisch zu, auch wenn gerade das Auto rausgefahren wird!

schoener Blick

die Schlafzimmer waren zu klein, die Terasse sehr schön, der Blick sehr schön. Man musste einen ganzen Hausstand kaufen, Salz, Zucker Cafefilter Mülltüten, Toiletenpapier usw. Der Wischer war total verdreckt, der Besen total verdreckt, einfach scheußlich. Der Poolmen kam unangemeldet auf das Grundstück...Schön waren die vielen Handtücher.., sauber gemacht wurde in den 14 Tagen nicht.
