Wonderful property. Perfect for families or groups
This place is amazing! Sandra and her daughter Claudia are such lovely people and made us feel so welcome. It’s the little things that make a perfect holiday experience and Sandra and Claudia provided these. On our arrival they gave us a tour of the property and let us know all we needed too. We even arrived to find a basket of local produce and personalised sweets/candy for the kids. This was such a nice touch and went down really well as we arrived late in the evening with no opportunity to visit the supermarket!
The property itself has 5 bedrooms (4 with double beds plus 1 that can be set up with up to 4 single beds). There is plenty of room elsewhere in the property both inside and out. We travelled with 4 adults and 5 children aged 6-12 and there was plenty of room for us all (and always somewhere to hide in a quiet place!)
The pool is a good size, well kept and has a shallow and deep end. The kids spent most of the holiday in it!
There is a great bbq which we used most nights.
The kitchen is well stocked with everything you might need and more!
It was very hot for some of our trip so the aircon in the bedrooms and living room was amazing!
The house is in a quiet residential area. With very little within walking distance (small children’s play area and a local cafe/restaurant). The lagoon is around 30mins to walk, but the road has no pavements so not ideal. Would strongly recommend a hirecar. With this you can reach the main beach and the local town of Alfarim in around 10minutes in each direction. Alfarim is a nice little town/village with cafes, mini marts, a great butchers, fish mongers etc. There are larger supermarkets in Santana (20min drive).
The beach and lagoon in Lagoa de Albufeira are amazing! And the beach cafes are great too.
Lisbon is around 45min drive (but does take a fair bit longer in rush hour traffic!), so perfect for day trips.
We couldn’t be happier with our stay and would strongly recommend.
Thank you so much Sandra and Claudia!
