Unforgettable Anniversary Trip
We spent our 30th wedding anniversary at Casa Helena, and it was an unforgettable experience. The apartment was beautifully decorated, impeccably clean, and in a fantastic location. Helena was an exceptional host, providing us with local tips and ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. She was very responsive and kept in touch during our stay. The location was ideal, allowing us to easily access stunning beaches, delicious restaurants, and vibrant nightlife. We enjoyed every moment of our stay. Thank you, Helena, for helping make our anniversary so memorable! Casa Helena will always hold a special place in our hearts. Sincerely, Marc and Helen, Indiana, USA, 9/21/24-10/4/24

The apartment left nothing to be desired, spotlessly clean, fully equipped for your every need, perfectly located close to the beach and all amenities. Communication with Helena was faultless, she made every effort to ensure the holiday was seamless. Helena should be very proud of her efforts providing this holiday. Wendy and Geoff. September 2024.

« Su casa es tu casa »
Casa Helana is wonderful, well located, impeccably clean and equipped, tastefully decorated. It feels like home with a view and weather to dream of. The streets of the old town are rather narrow, vigilance is required when driving. Parking is a significant plus. Quiet appartment, 2 minutes walk from the beach and far enough from the parties. Helena was very responsive to ensure comfort and a pleasant stay for her guests. Delicate attentions (candy and bottle of wine) upon our arrival, much appreciated. Casa Helena is an adress to keep at Albufeira!

Sehr schöne Wohnung mit Dachterrasse
Sehr schöne Wohnung mit einer tollen Dachterrasse. Alles was man sich wünscht, war in der Wohnung vorhanden. Sogar ein Parkplatz war in der Tiefgarage des Hauses vorhanden. Dies ist bei der zentralen Lage in der Altstadt super. Wissen sollte man, dass die Altstadt von Albufeira sehr touristisch und in den Sommermonaten sehr voll ist...

Charming and Oh So Comfortable
Everything you need, this wonderful rental is beautifully and thoughtfully appointed and decorated. Close to the beach, shops and restaurants but if you want to stay in, the private patio with bbq is perfect! We couldn't have asked for a more responsive hostess in Helena and settled in for our 2+ week stay quickly. It lived up to the description and felt homey and welcoming. Impeccable hospitality!

Spotless gem in great location
We enjoyed staying in Casa Helena as it was spotless and very comfortable! Well stocked with kitchen appliances and charming decor. Close to all the restaurants and tucked away for quiet. The view from the terrace was very enjoyable with cocktails in hand. Thank you so much for your kindness and hospitality!

Fabulous stay!
Helena‘s casa in Albufeira exceeded our expectations! The property was perfectly situated in a very quiet part of town and only five minutes from the hustle and bustle of old town Albufeira. The terrace was perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or an afternoon drink. The views were stunning. The apartment was equipped better than any place we have ever stayed in, no detail or amenity was forgotten. Highly recommend as a beautiful place to stay in the Algarves!

Séjour inoubliable
Un séjour inoubliable, tout est parfait, notre hôte Hélène a su faire de son appartement un endroit rêvé pour réussir la découverte de Albufeira et ses environs. Une vue superbe, sur la ville et sur la mer, la tranquillité et le calme. Rien ne manque dans cet appartement, une très belle chambre ou il est bon se reposer après une journée de découvertes de l'Algarve . La cuisine , le salon, la salle de bain, tout est prévu pour être comme à la maison, et une décoration avec beaucoup de gout,et de classe. Oups!! J'allais oublié la terrasse, un endroit top du top pour le café du matin avec un "pastel de nata" ....bref un bel endroit , mille mercis Hélèna. Céline et Didier.

Exceptional with everything you need
the apartement felt luxirious yet very charming. Helena put alot of thinking and details. We had everything we needed and more. Just loved the private spacious balcony where we had our coffee every morning .We could see the ocean just one block away . Even with the great location 2 streets from all the restaurant it was very quiet. Loved the vibe of the old town. Helena was easy to reach also. a great place to relax.

Loved this spot! Beautiful & Great Location
Our stay in Albufeira was our favorite of the whole trip! The house was so cute, clean, and comfortable. Helena was a phenomenal host, super attentive and helpful. The location is awesome, it's quiet, has a beautiful view, is right near the beach, near plenty of shops/restaurants, and close walking distance to more lively areas if you're interested in that. It has everything all in one spot! Would definitely recommend!

Casa Helena us even better than we imagined!
From the moment we arrived at Helena’s apartment, we knew we made the right choice. Along with the fantastic location near the old town and the beach, we loved the comfort and decor of this cute home. Once we arrived, we saw that having a private garage was key. And we loved the private terrace for breakfast every morning, for a pre-dinner cocktail every afternoon and for stargazing every night. Helena is a great communicator, easily available to answer our booking and arrival questions. She had a nice greeter meet us exactly on time to turn over keys and show us around the unit. So very helpful! If we had only one word for our stay: PERFECT!
