Ruhiges Reihenhaus in guter Lage
Das Reihenhaus war etwa 5 - 10 Minuten von den Stränden entfernt und sehr ruhig. Die Ausstattung innen ist hochwertig und die Betten bequem. Die Küchenausstattung ist okay, aber Pfannen und Messer müssten erneuert werden. Bei uns waren die Drehregler vom Backrohr kaputt, diese werden wohl repariert. Die Kommunikation über WhatsApp verlief problemlos. Man hat innerhalb weniger Minuten eine Antwort erhalten. Allerdings haben uns die ganzen Regeln und Hinweise, die wir sowohl per Mail als auch WhatsApp erhalten haben, etwas abgeschreckt. Man hat wohl schlechte Erfahrungen mit Party-Urlaubern gemacht. Leider könnte der Außenbereich etwas ansprechender gestaltet sein. Über der Waschmaschine schauen Leerverrohrungen aus der Wand. Positiv hervorheben muss man noch, dass das Haus nach einer Woche geputzt wurde und man neue Handtücher erhalten hat.

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.

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.

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.

Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay, from the size of the Villa and it's rooms, to the swimming pool and outdoor area. The location was lovely, not too close to the main areas which is nice for a more peaceful holiday however it was a nice walk to the beach, Harbour and old town Albufeira.

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.
