THE REGION
Albufeira is one of the Algarve's top hotspots. It's a charismatic beach town with an energetic and busy vibe where every type of holidaymaker can find something to enjoy. Not only is it family friendly and bursting with great activities for kids and teens, there is also a buzzing nightlife scene on the downtown strip for adults travelling on their own.
If you’re after something a bit more cultural, there is also a beautiful Old Town where all the best restaurants and historical sites can be found. For those looking to get a little bit extra out of their Albufeira stay, Vidamar Resort in the Salgados area offers all the perks of staying in a self-catered villa plus the amenities of a luxury resort.
Not far from there you’ll also come across the beachy Sao Rafael as well as Galé where the sandy stretches and deep blue waves will have you thinking you’re on the set of a photoshoot. Golf lovers might want to head to Amendoeira Golf Resort, located a quick fifteen minutes from Albufeira, which is perfect those who like a good game while still staying close to town.
ABOUT THE ALGARVE
Though most people tend to see the Algarve as all about the beaches and a holiday on the Med, there’s far much more to it than that.
But while you’re enjoying one of our fantastic villas in Algarve, you may well want to take some time out from all that sun worship to explore everything else the region has to offer – so we’ve put together this handy travel guide to give you a little help and inspiration!

Impeccable Stay!
The hosts were very friendly and welcoming. They went out of their way to make our stay easy and enjoyable. Great communication.
The apartment was lovely and clean and comfortable and was equipped with everything we could need.
Great location. Two minutes walk to the lovely beaches and also to many cafes and restaurants. The Lidl supermarket is a very short walk.
We recommend this host and this property, without reservation.
A great thing about Armacao de Pera is that everything is within walking distance, so we didn’t need a car. We also recommend boat trips to the caves. Beautiful and fascinating. -
Beachside Bliss and Warm Hospitality
My and 3 of my friends stayed there for 6 days and rally had a great time . The place was so close to food places and most important 3 min walk to the beach . The place itself was very clean and had everything that you would need on holiday . From perfectly working AC to a little toast maker .The host left us a little welcome gift in the fridge in a shape of bottle of wine and beers ( pretty cool little detail)
Host herself and her husband were very lovely and answered all the questions we had.
We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely be coming back at some point next year.
Thank you so much for your hospitality

Great Location
Everything was excellent ! The apartment is rather large and nicely decorated. There is everything one needs. It has a really big balcony which is a real advantage. The hosts were very nice and accommodated a really late arrival . They gave us suggestions for activities and the best places to visit, and also helped arrange the taxi back to the airport.
The location is great, very close to the beach and shops and restaurants. We certainly recommend this place ! -
Best Apartment in Armação de Pêra!!!
It was my second time staying here and it keeps getting better! They installed Air conditioning and they upgraded the beds which means that the hosts really pay attention to all the feedback. They also gave us great recommendations of the area and where just a call/message away whenever we had questions. I have only good things to say about our stay here, the apartment is gorgeous it makes you feel at home, the location is fabulous, really close to the Armação de Pêra farmers market , restaurants and a very short walk to the beach! The outside terrace is so relaxing!! 10/10 really !! Thank you Diogo for all your help with the taxi as well and hope to come back soon.

Excellent location, close to the beach, downtown and all the restaurants and supermarkets.
The owners were always very friendly and helpful throughout our stay.
The apartment is very cozy and perfect for a holiday stay and was the same as what is shown in the photos and description.
There is no parking in the building itself because it is very tight but we were provided with a parking lot in another location very close (2 min walk) -
