Great holiday and excellent service

The villa was perfect for our group, spacious, clean, and close to the beach and restaurants. We also used the airport transfer service, which made everything so convenient. It was a relaxing and stress-free holiday from start to finish.

Amazing

Had an amazing stay at Villa Dorado! The villa is in a fantastic location, just a few minutes walk to the beach and lively Oura Strip. The house was spacious, clean, and well-equipped, perfect for our family. The private pool was a big hit, and the outdoor BBQ area was great for family meals. Would definitely return!

Thank you!

Overall, our holiday in Albufeira exceeded all expectations. The villa provided the perfect backdrop for quality family time and the attentive staff made us feel truly welcome throughout our stay. We found many places closed, but that did not stop us from having a fantastic time here.

Villa

Location good if you want to be by the Strip. However, the property didn't look anything like the pictures and needs a lot of TLC. The front door knob kept coming off, and some of the shower heads were not functional, which was quite inconvenient. The sun loungers definitely need replacing, and some of the plastic chairs were broken, making it difficult to relax comfortably. We were also disappointed that our towels (purchase of new ones highly recommended) were not replaced midweek as promised. When we mentioned this to our welcome representative, we were totally ignored, which was very frustrating. We would recommend using Uber to get to the other towns rather than relying on the transfer from the tour operator.

Beautiful villa and amazing extras

Our stay was fantastic. The house was beautiful, very comfortable, and had everything we needed. We booked a boat tour through the company and also had dinner at the Algarbe restaurant, both experiences were incredible and made our trip even more special.

We would definitely love to return!

Our stay at this villa was absolutely wonderful! The house is spacious, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable holiday. The outdoor area was a highlight, the private pool was perfect for cooling off, and the barbecue area made for some great family dinners. The location was also excellent, close to stunning beaches and local restaurants.

The best of Albufeira!

Villa Dorado is an absolute gem! The location is unbeatable, just a short walk to the beach, restaurants, and shops. The villa is spacious, well-equipped, and the private pool was perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. We loved the outdoor BBQ and dining area. Ideal for families or groups of friends wanting to experience the best of Albufeira!

Ballermann lässt grüßen

Haus ist ein wenig runtergerockt. Türen blättern ab. In einigen Zimmern war Schimmel. Die Lage war problematisch. Das Haus liegt direkt am Strip, was dem Ballermann in nichts nachsteht. Es wird sehr viel durch Mikrophone gebrüllt und hat unser Urlaubsgefühl getrübt. Das müsste in der Ausschreibung viel deutlicher dargestellt werden. Der Pool war aber super und die Betreuung durch Algarve Vacation war auch gut.

Mejorable

La casa es grande y bonita no estaba en buen estado ni totalmente limpia, y nos tardaron varios días en solucionar las incidencias. Por otra parte se ubica dentro de una zona de bares y discotecas por lo que la zona es sucia y muy ruidosa, por lo que no es la más adecuada para familias con niños.
