Great Villa and location
We had booked this stay for our friends stag do for 12 people. The villa and where it was located was perfect and we could not fault Jim who had arranged everything for us! From the villa itself to the checking in process and renting a transfer for a large group. Would definitely recommend to anybody!

Perfect location between Old and New Town
We have just come back from a holiday as a group of friends and will be 100% booking again next year! Jim was an amazing host - great communication from the moment we booked and very accommodating as we were all flying from different places in the UK so check-in/out times differed. Jim was always fast to communicate and assisted with a last minute early morning taxi booking. The villa itself is very spacious with a lovely pool area and fully functioning kitchen. It’s perfectly located very close to the strip in new town (we were all pleasantly surprised how quiet it was at night considering the close proximity), and just a short taxi ride from the Old Town which is well worth a visit - a bolt ride cost €5. I would definitely recommend a stay here and we can’t wait to be back!

Fantastic stay
Jim was excellent at communicating throughout the booking process, it was easy to check in and we were allowed to come early to the property as we landed early. The property was clean and neat, the only downside was there was only 1 toilet roll left in each bathroom so we had to buy more. The Villa was lovely and excellent for local amenities

Ideal villa in an ideal location.
Villa was in a perfect location. 40 minutes from the airport (€55 for a 8 seater mini bus) 5 minute walk to the Newtown where there is lots of bars, restaurants and shops. 5 minute walk to both Aldi and an independent supermarket. 10 minute walk to the beach and 7 minute taxi to the old town (€6 taxi fare) where again there is hundreds of bars and restaurants and a large beach. Despite being in touching distance to a ‘booming town’ it was silent at night. Nothing better! The Villa itself was ideal. Has everything you need for a home from home stay. Kitchen was fully equipped with a washing machine, dishwasher and fridge freezer. beds were comfortable with spare bedding, bathrooms were spacious with good working power showers. Host was incredibly attentive throughout our booking to attending process. Since the images, Jim has made some positive improvements on the Villa such as upgraded some furniture inside and the Sun loungers are now very comfortable with padded seat cushions.

Perfect for a large group who want to be close to town.
We were a group of 12 on a stag do. The booking process and communication with Jim throughout was brilliant. He always got back in touch and was accommodating to small changes in our group and transfers. We booked out transfers directly through Jim and these were trouble-free and good value. Once we got there we were asked to communicate with the property manager, Miguel, who responded to my calls and messages promptly. Check in and check out were again super easy and we had no problems. The property is located really close to the strip, and a short walk from Old Town. So it's perfect for groups who want things within walking distance. The pool is a nice area to hang around when you're not out and about. Thanks very much for a great stay!

Sieht nicht aus wie auf den Bildern
Die Lage ist gut da man viele Restaurants und die Partymeile in der Nähe hat. Allerdings sieht es nicht aus wie auf den Bildern die Villa ist in die Jahre gekommen die Toiletten sind meistens klein und eng der Pool ist sauber aber die Liegen sind veraltet desweiterem ist die Tischtennisplatte auch sehr sehr alt sollte erneuert werden. Aber der Check in Prozess und der Briefkasten für den Schlüssel ist eine super Lösung

50th Birthday Party Venue
We had this villa recommended by a friend that had stayed the previous year. The location is fantastic for a group party such as ours. 3 minutes walk to the strip and 25 minutes to the old town or €5 in a taxi from the local rank. The booking process was great and we just used WhatsApp to message the meet and greet who actually just sent us the key code and the wifi code. The property is slightly dated but was clean and all made up nice for our arrival. A quick trip to the local supermarket 5 mins walk and we were fully stocked up. Despite being close to the strip it is very quiet during the day and night and gets the sun all day around the pool. Which was also cleaned while we were there. The only issues we had were the lack of a pool table that was mentioned during the booking process (there was a very old table tennis table) and the safe box was locked when we got there and the meet and greet number did not reply when we asked about it. We had 12 people stay however the bedroom layout is best for 10 people as the sofa surfers would be woke up easily. Overall a great place for a group of 46-67 year olds that still like to party.

We had a wonderful stay in albufeira! The location was perfect for exploring the beach and bars nearby and also to go to the old town and visit the beaches and restaurants around there. The staff who drove us to and from the airport were very friendly and accommodating. The villa itself was perfect for a group of friends to enjoy the sunshine with some additional privacy around the pool area. Highly recommend, we had a great time, thank you!!

Hen do
After having my first hen do aboard cancelled without notice I had lost hope that we’d find somewhere with 6 months to go! A friend of my recommended this villa after staying herself with a group of girls for her hen do and well her recommendation wasn’t wrong! The villa itself is so lovely, incredibly clean and spacious too especially when there is 9 of you, you don’t want to be feeling on top of each other! Communication with the manager and his team was great right from start to finish! Night life was superb and considering you’re only 5 minute walk from the strip itself you cannot hear a thing from the villa! I could not recommend this enough for both parties and families - there is something for everyone in the area and the beach in only a 10 minute stroll too! We will 100 percent be back!
