Fantastic stay in Budens
We had 5 weeks in this super villa. Louise (owner) was so very helpful in helping us prepare for our stay with suggestions of restaurants and other activities. Louise even sent information on the WiFi speed which was really important for me because I had to do some work remotely.
The villa was regularly cleaned by the housekeeper, there was sufficient crockery, cooking utensils and cutlery for us as a couple and our two adult sons who visited briefly. The knives were nice and sharp which is essential but not often the case in rented accommodation! There were lovely extras such as heated towel rails and a huge bookshelf with lots of books in English. Parking is easy just opposite the villa which was a real plus. The location is superb, between the eastern and western Algarve so easy to visit all the wonderful beaches.
The communal pool was always clean and there were sun lounges available with umbrellas as well.
We particularly enjoyed the small local cafe, Vista Allegre. The owner speaks very good English and it was lovely to hang out with the locals. Coffee,pastel de nata and sandwiches were available, all at an excellent price and very good.
The supermarket is just 5 minutes drive down the road and is well stocked. However a suggestion for other visitors to the area - we found the meat, fruit and vegetables of poor quality. When even carrots and potatoes go off it’s not a good sign. We moved to shop at Lidl in Vila do Bispo. Excellent quality and prices!
