Spacious and comfortable, the villa is equipped with air-conditioning and free WIFI throughout.

This modern property sleeps 6+2, with 3 bedrooms (1 double bedroom and 2 twin bedrooms) all located on the first floor, with access to a balcony. The double bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with a bath tub and overhead shower, and one of the twin bedrooms has an en-suite bathroom with a shower. There is also an additional bathroom with a shower on the first floor.

On the ground floor you’ll find a fully equipped modern kitchen with a hob, oven, fridge/freezer, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, electric kettle and coffee machine.

A built-in barbeque is available for preparing al fresco meals and sun loungers are provided for soaking up the sun between refreshing dips in the pool.

A variety of restaurants, bars and a supermarket are located within a 10-minute walk and there is a shortcut from the townhouse through to the Marina of Albufeira.

Great Stay!
Our recent family holiday in Albufeira was a true delight, largely thanks to our wonderful stay at this villa that exceeded all expectations. Nestled in a serene location, this immaculately clean and well-maintained villa boasted a private pool—a highlight of our trip. Fully equipped kitchen, it provided the perfect backdrop for quality family time. The villa was the ideal base for exploration. Highly recommended for an unforgettable Albufeira getaway.

All you need
Good spot (if you have a car), great nearby beaches and close to other activities. Quiet in the evenings but nothing too walkable with children. Would come back again. Villa was tidy and the pool was great to jump into after the day.

Great Villa
Nice Villa & pool near Albufeira. Looks just like the photos. Good location just a 6 euro uber ride to old town Albufeira. The place could use a fresh coat of paint in some locations plus some pool toys. You do have to pay a deposit incase of damage that takes a few weeks to get back. Overall a great villa & I would recommend this to anyone and stay here again.

Lovely villa
The positive reviews & the beautiful images, is why we chose this villa. The representatives were quick to respond, helpful & competent. The villa is as depicted in the images but we found it was more spacious & very clean. The master bedroom has a full en-suite bathroom with shower. Bedroom 2, an en-suite sink, toilet & shower. Bedroom 3 doesn't have an ensuite but there's an additional shower, sink and toilet room on the same floor to use. There is also a downstairs toilet which is handy. The lounge & dining area is huge & open-plan giving much needed space. Wifi was reliable, to the delight of our teenagers. The beautiful kitchen is separate but has a good workspace to prepare meals. Appliances include a dishwasher as well as all the usual appliances and plenty of cupboard space to put various items. Kitchen comes fully stocked with eveeything you need for your stay. The only thing we missed was a sieve but otherwise its all there. There is an option to order a welcome hamper in different sizes that will be waiting for you when you arrive. This was handy for us as we had an evening flight in. So we didn't need to rush to find a shop for basic items after a long day of travelling. Towels were provided and replaced mid-week. A rep contacts you prior and visits shortly after arrival to go through facilities/answer questions. The private swimming pool was a real hit with our kids. and the pool surround is wonderful for entertaining large groups. There is also a washing machine to use which we found helpful. In regards to the local area, we rented a car for flexibility but there are 2 buses that go from the main road that's a 2 minute walk from the property that goes to Albufeira marina where there are local shops, bars, restaurants, arcades and various boat excursions as well as to Albufeira old town beach, which has endless bars, pubs, restaurants, souvenir and gift shops. However Uber cars were more accessible and only a few euros per trip. As you walk past the property on your left, down a gravel path, 5 minute walk & bear left, you will see a small supermarket, a large pizzeria, sports bar & a quaint little restaurant. Praia da falesia beach is quiet, beautiful, but quite a few steps to get there. Guia village has several restaurants. I recommend 'Ramires' their Piri Piri chicken is amazing. Portimao is another lively town 20 minute drive away. Lidl & Aldi 10 minute drive away. Would definitely recommend this villa.

Airy and relaxing
We were so pleasantly surprise-the property was exactly as shown. With five of us we all had room to spread out and enjoy alone time but also be comfortable in group settings. The kitchen made it very easy to create our own meals, but there was also an amazing restaurant nearby. The Villa Antiqua made for a perfect home base for our travels.

Belle propriété. Dommage d'avoir eu des problèmes d'eau chaude récurrents ainsi qu'un lave vaisselle bouché qui inondait en permanence la cuisine. Notre caution n'a pas été rendue en sa totalité... nous attendons toujours après 2 mois le motif et les preuves.

Beautiful villa in great location
We were a family of four, the villa is very spacious and as shown in the photos. The outside area is great, we spent most of our days relaxing and playing in the pool. The villa is located in a small residential area and a car isn't required. There are some nice restaurants within a 10-15 minute walk and São Rafael beach is also a 15 mins walk away. There's a Spar and a small mini market close by and Lidl is a short drive from the villa - we used Uber. Ubers are very cheap and you can get into Albufeira town in 10-15 mins for 6 euros. We met the property owners on the day we left who are lovely. We really enjoyed our stay and will hopefully visit again in the future.

Excellent villa
Lovely villa: very clean, spacious, well equipped, comfortable & quiet. Good wifi, air con and a comfortable sleep. The heated pool and surrounds are lovely. The management company & owners were very proactive. Location is a 25 minute walk to the marina and another 15 minutes to albufeira old town. A number of the local restaurants are really good, 5-10 minutes walk, although you have to cross a field to get to them. Sao Rafael beach is lovely, 15 minutes walk away. But, Uber & taxis are so cheap and readily available the location doesn't matter.

Family Break
The villa was very nice, comfortable, well presented and very clean and tidy. Beds were comfortable an d good sleeps all round. We asked for pool heating to be included but only requested this the day before and pool took a few days to heat up, however once it reached temperature it was lovely. Gas supply is in bottles and gas ran out but owners were very quick to respond and sort out. There is a dirt track footpath at the top left of the villa and is a good shortcut along to a small supermarket (5 mins) and down to a beautiful beach (15 -20 mins). We had an infant in pram and used this several times. ALso a few restaurants within walking distance. A car is needed though if you want to get into Albufeira. All in all a very nice place in a quiet location. Would go back and use villa again. Thanks to the agent team and the owners for a very smooth holiday.

Excellent villa
I was looking for a villa to celebrate my 50th birthday with family. Having looked at many villas I kept being drawn back to this one. I could not be happier with what we chose. We had a lovely warm welcome when we arrived, the place was beautiful, spacious, light and well equipped. Overall this is a fantastic villa, in a wonderful location that's ideal for families or groups of friends that is highly recommended.

Muito bom
Foi tudo excelente, desde o atendimento à limpeza, das condições da casa e ao espaço da mesma. Muito bom para familias ficando apenas um pouco longe da praia, outra coisa menos boa é somente relacionada com a louça de cozinha, um pouco escassa tornando as refeições "estranhas" e fazendo com que seja necessário utilizar a máquina de lavar mais vezes que o necessário. Mas no restante, muito bom mesmo. Recomendo.

what an amazing stay we had
At first we were a bit unsure about the property been attached to other villas on either side but this didn't cause us any problems at all. The villa was very well maintained and very clean with ample beds and bathrooms. Just at the top of the bank the villa was situated on was a little unbeaten track to take you to 3 to 4 pubs/restaurants, which were very nice, especially the Seasons restaurant adjoined to the Punte Grande Complex. All the pub owners were very reindly and spoke fabulous English. Nearby to these pubs was a local beach, however we did not visit but it was accessible on foot. the company Algarve vacations could not have been any more professional. From picking us up at the airport without any hassle and then arranging visits to zoomarine and days out on our private boat they were amazing. The reps/staff were soo fantastic, we made good friends. Also just around the corner to the villa was a gentleman who had his own private villas and ran taxis around the resort. Close by is a little Marina with few restaurants, pubs and sports activities. It took about 30 minutes to walk to along the main road but decided on a taxi return for just 9 euros for 7 of us. We visited Albufiera Old Town for just 10 euros for the 7 of us, a bargain with friendly taxi man David. We would definitely return for another visit and thoroughly enjoyed the location of the villa, not hiring a car made it a holiday to relax and chill. The only thing to mention was a food package if available would be good to buy and the villa didn't have any 'odds and ends' such as salt, tea etc to get us buy for a couple of hours, however we had done a little shop while we waited at Scoobys Bar for our time to get into the villa. Scoobys Bar was recommended by our reps and was an amazing place just a few minutes away from the villa in minbus.

5 star villa. Remarkably clean and well positioned for easy access to local pub and restaurant
The villa was very well presented. Ample room for our 7 visitors. Local pub and restaurants were only a short 5 minute walk away. A local taxi service was a couple of villas away who was very efficient and friendly with a 7/8 seater bus. I would definitely return to this villa as its location was perfect. The beach was only a 5minute walk and the marina a leisurely 20/30minute walk.
