About this property

WONDERFUL VILLA & LOCATION W/ PRIVATE HEATABLE SWIMMING POOL, FREE WIFI & A/C

Algarve Vacation is committed to working towards providing sustainable accommodation options together with our property owners, reflecting our commitment to environmental responsibility.

Villa Saint John is an extraordinary property with stunning views over one of the most beautiful beaches in the area. Situated in an idyllic location just a few minutes’ drive from beautiful beaches and excellent restaurants, this villa is sure to provide the relaxing setting you seek for your holiday in the Algarve. The property is also a short drive from one of the jewels of Albufeira: a natural ecological reserve with wild fauna, flora, and one of the main spots for bird watching in their natural habitat.

The property has 4 bedrooms: 1 double bedroom and 3 twin bedrooms, as well as 3 bathrooms. The kitchen, in addition to being fully equipped with all the utensils and modern appliances you may need to make you feel at home, also has a dining area with a magnificent panoramic view. The living room is fully furnished and leads you directly to the outdoor terrace, where you can enjoy your meals al-fresco while taking in the spectacular views with family and friends.

On a lower level is the private swimming pool (heatable as an optional extra), where you can relax in the sun. A ping-pong table is also available for additional entertainment on long summer days.

Renovations have recently been completed on the outdoor area to include a typical Algarvian barbecue and table to enhance your outdoor meal experiences, beside the glass balustraded swimming pool area.

A quality supermarket, pubs and restaurants, including one with 2 Michelin stars, as well as the Salgados Golf Course and nature reserve, with a lagoon and pedestrian walkways (great for bird watching), are located within a short distance (5min by car). Other beautiful beaches like Gale, Lourenço or São Rafael, just to name a few, are located within a short drive.

The town of Albufeira, with its colourful marina, charming old town along the Fishermen's beach and the Strip, all with quality restaurants, pubs and shops, is located within a 10min drive.

Car hire is recommended, if you want to hire a car, we can help you with your request. Parking for 1 vehicle is also available on the driveway within the property gates.

The changeover day for this property is on Saturday.

**If your flights are booked or your dates are fixed and these do not match the changeover day, please send an enquiry to confirm that they can be accepted before making a booking. **

Pool Heating will always be an upgrade for your holidays, especially when travelling with children. The temperature of the water when the pool heating is activated will always be between 5ºC and 8ºC higher than if there was no pool heating.

nice house with light and shadow
we have booked "Villa Saint John" for a one week vacation with 9 person (4 adults / 5 kids) Communication with local representative was easy and entering the house as well. At our arrival at late evening we found the house in a not perfect condiction. There has been a strong smell in some of the bathroom and the rest of the house seamed to need a urgent ventilation. Floors had not been really clean and we found hairs and dirt spots in the beds! After one hour of cleaning it was ok. Bedise that we had technical issues: one shower head was defect, one door knob was dfective, soil pipe of the kitchen sink was leaking. We reported this issued to the local office and all was handled within 24 hours. Generally speaking this is a nice house on a great spot. View from terasse is great and all rooms offer enough space for a huge group of people. The pool is huge enough to have fun and the sun deck is equiped with sunloungers and parasols. Some of the house facilities are pretty worn and it would be good to have replacement to make a stay there more enjoyable.

Unforgettable Family Getaway
Our first-time visit to Albufeira became a magical experience at this stunning villa. The villa's panoramic vistas created a perfect setting for our family of five—my partner and three kids. The villa is spacious and well equipped and confortable. Its strategic location allowed us to explore the beauty of the Algarve effortlessly. Our family getaway was a perfect blend of relaxation and exploration. Highly recommended for an unforgettable Algarve experience.

Villa
Property generally good in a great location. Beds/mattresses could be better. Shortage of glasses but additional ones were provided on request. Outdoor area lacked shade and parossol was broken. Shade needs replacement for high summer

férias com netos
A estadia foi boa. A casa necessita de revisão: não consegui abrir a porta de ferro da entrada pelo que utilizamos sempre o portão cuja fechadura estava avariada, funcionando apenas com chave; a fechadura da porta da cozinha para a sala está avariada, situação potencialmente perigosa porque se a porta da rua da cozinha estiver fachada e a chave estiver na cozinha, não se tem acesso à cozinha. O colchão da cama suplementar é muito mau, é um colchão de molas em vez de espuma, colocado dobrado num divã de armar.

Comfortable, a great holiday villa!
This is a good villa for both smaller or larger groups. The rep was very helpful and always responded immediately when contacted. The villa was lovely and clean, spacious and room for the eight of us travelling. Eating out was cheap and the fish was always good quality and value. There are lots of beaches to explore,so many places to eat my favorite was the old town, Gale beach bar and restaurants a must and for the evening sunset. We will definitely be taking a trip back to the Algarve hopefully yearly.
