Albufeira is one of the top holiday destinations in the Algarve. With its mix of New and Old Town. The old town remains an unusually pretty village with its narrow cobblestone streets, twisting lanes of whitewashed houses and terracotta roofs above a beautiful spread of beaches. In the day time walk around all the local shops and have a drink in one of the many Bar's and Restaurant over looking the picturesque beaches. In the night watch the town come alive with street performers and music . In one of the many great Restaurant's why not try chicken piri piri one of the local dishes.

In the New Town you have late Bars and Discos open in the early hours. With some more great Restaurants.
All this is with 20 min walk from the Villa. Also don't forget about Slide and Splash, Aqualand, Zoomarine all with in 20min drive and some of finest golf course with in 10min drive from Villa Santa.

Villa was fantastic for our stay. It’s a 10 minute (flat) walk from the main strip, and less than 10 minutes to the beach. Taxis to the old town are 3-5. Jim was very helpful whenever we needed him. Would happily stay here again and would recommend to anybody.

Jim was a brilliant host and the property is great value for money. Having the taxis organised by Jim was very helpful and he was very easy to contact during the stay (a lightbulb needed replacing). The surrounding area has a selection of shops and a few bars - Ubers to the old town/strip were very cheap.

Long weekend stay
Prior to arrival, Jim was in good communication on requirements and information for our stay. On arrival, villa clean and spacious. All beds comfortable and fit for purpose. Keysafe for key was practical for large group use. Only downside was advertisement of pool table which was not at villa but overall this didn't bring down the overall experience. Would return again.

Incredible!
First of all, the location was perfect. A 10 min walk to the strip, a 1 min walk to a Spar, 10 min walk to a beautiful beach, and you can of course get ubers easily everywhere too. I would say though that it's easier to put your location as the Santa Eulalia hotel and spa which is right next door to the villa, because nobody can seem to find the villa! That's because it is surrounded with a white wall that gives great privacy and makes it very unassuming on the street - ideal! Jim was fantastic with communication and when we had a toilet blocked he sent someone out 2hrs later to fix it which was so amazing of him. The place itself is beautiful with lots of bathrooms. The hot water did run out near the end of all 10 of us having showers but after we noticed, everyone just took much shorter showers haha. The pool area had enough loungers for everyone and people enjoyed the pool and the ping pong table. Having our own beautiful private space for our hen do was just perfect and we have all decided we want to come back definitely.

Stag Do group of 12
We stayed here for 3 nights for a stag do, no complaints at all. The villa itself was an ideal location with shops/restaurants 2 mins away, strip 5 min walk and old town 10 min taxi drive. You won’t find a better villa for the price you pay it’s standard but it’s clean and tidy with plenty of beds/bathrooms. Jim our host made everything easy regarding check in etc and he’s on hand for any issues although we had none to report, he arranged airport transfers for us also which were a good price and a simple process through his help. If we return to Albufeira as a group again we won’t hesitate in rebooking villa santa!!

Nice villa, perfect location just a few small issues
Nice villa but in need of some modernising. There were 14 of us, description states villa can sleep upto 16 however there were only 10 sunbeds which wasnt ideal. Inside villa is fairly spacious but the outside area isnt very big. Pool was nice once it had been cleaned. Few issues that need attending to, washing machine was leaking, the plug to the hob was quite dangerous as there was exposed wires behind the drawer where it plugs in and also the safe malfunctioned with money and passports inside. For the most part Jim was quick to respond and resolve any issues. Location is brilliant with lots of bars and restaurants within a few minutes walk but not close enough to be bothered by any noise. All in all an enjoyable stay

Location was spot on. Short walk to main party strip and not too far from Oura Beach where there was a great little restaurant/cocktail bar. Property was fairly clean, dishwasher wasnt great so couldnt get things cleaned properly before we left. Very spacious inside, the pool area seems a lot bigger in the profile picture but it was still enough for a group of 9 lads. Overall, i would reccommend this property.

Bathrooms are looking a little tired and in need of a spruce up. Pool clean but cold. Overall the villa certainly met the needs of our group. Fab location too.

Hen-do group of 12
Couldn't fault Jim as a host. He was always on hand to answer any questions and also pointed us in the direction of a local transfer. The location of the villa was perfect for a hen-do with a convenience shop less than 5 minute walk, and the strip about a 10 minute walk. The villa was plenty big enough for 12 women, although it was a struggle for hot water when everyone showered at once (to be expected) I would say that there is some maintenance that needs to be addressed; unable to close doors properly, filter by the poolside is a trip hazard, unable to open blinds etc. But these things were minor in comparison to the great time that we had. Would definitely book again for a group of adults. Thanks Jim and team :)

2nd visit
Our second trip to the same villa. Jim was a superb point of contact through, transfers arranged and always immediate responses to any queries. 16 males on a ‘lads trip’ and the location was ideal. Short walk to new Strip, and only 7 euros for a taxi to old town. Pool table and table tennis could do with an update but all in all another great trip.
