Description
Located in the up-market resort of Sao Rafael on the outskirts of the cosmopolitan resorts of Gale and Albufeira in the Algarve, Villa Albuar is a stylish villa set in an enviable position close to the beach and local amenities. This generous sized detached villa comes with air-conditioning in all five bedrooms and large lounge with patio doors looking out to sea views and your own private and electrically heated swimming pool (gated for children's safety) and a choice of both sunny and shady terraces to relax in Around the outside of the villa are matures gardens and a covered pergola with brick BBQ for alfresco evenings. The main beach of Sao Rafael is less than twenty minute walk away and the resorts facilities of both Gale and Albufeira less than a ten minute drive away. Both Gale and Albufeira are fabulous family friendly beach resorts, with a tremendous selection of activities and sights for all the family. Boasting amazing turquoise waters and fine white sandy beaches, these are two of the Algarve’s most popular resorts for families with young children. Due to its privileged location close to the beach and resort centre, everything you need is within a very short stroll, making evening strolls into the village of Gale even more enjoyable, knowing that you can enjoy a glass of chilled white wine without having to worry about having to drive back home.

This swimming pool has been fitted with a Pool Heat Pump making the pool about 3°C to 5°C warmer at 1 pm than a non-heated pool in low season. In July and August, should the pool temperature exceed 28° C the pool heating will be turned off.

This villa will have an outside jacuzzi under a pergola for 2020 season, photos of the jacuzzi will be added soon.

We had a lovely time at the villa, the little attention to detail and nice touches such as the little toiletries etc in the bathroom and bits in the kitchen were appreciated, as was the fact we didn't have to bring any towels as both bath towels and pool towels were both provided. The pool was a little cold on das the sun wasn't out but that didn't stop the 11 year old ha...bit the rest of us were able to sensibly opt for the hot tub haha...with the lovely sea view. Great communication from host! Cleaners friendly. I very much appreciated the mattress topper in the sea view double room...I struggle with my bones on hard beds so that was a very welcome relief! Walk to the marina only circa 20 mins but on the way back it is up hill haha...but we did find a more scenic route than the main road. Nice little bar only a few mins walk away which has a little shop next to it for any essentials (but it is expensive). We went to Continente and got a taxi and filled up 2 shopping trolleys including alcohol with beer, spirits, BBQ coals etc, food with plenty of meat and fresh veggies and loads of snacks and fresh juices for 6 (although more like 8 as my husband and step-son literally eat 2 regular man portions. The villa is massive you could literally get lost in there. The stairs are gated at the top which was very relieving just in case our toddler escaped her room in the middle of the night...only problem I recall is it's so big if she darted off it was like hide and seek haha. Thanks

It is a beautiful villa in a beautiful location close to Albufeira. We enjoyed the pool and jacuzzi. The bedrooms are beautiful and spacious and each have their own bathroom. Unfortunately, a few beds had hard mattresses. The kitchen is also spacious with a double-door refrigerator, oven, microwave, toaster and 2 coffee makers, one of which is for cups. There are plenty of shops nearby for daily shopping. All in all, we enjoyed our stay at Villa Albuar!

The villa is a great place for a family group. There's lots of space inside and the grounds are fantastic - an excellent pool, lovely gardens, plenty of seating areas, jacuzzi, pool table and table tennis, so lots to keep everyone entertained. The location is great - less than 10 mins to the beach and about 20 mins walk to the marina which is great for entertainment and food/drinks. Easy to get an Uber to the old and new areas of Albufeira, or just have a long walk! The host was very responsive when messaging. The decor/furniture inside could benefit from updating, especially some of the mattresses (some too soft, some too hard!) and some more glasses, mugs and tea spoons in the kitchen would be really useful! But in general, if you're looking for a spacious place in the sun with excellent space outside and you're not too worried about ultra modern interior, this is a great place.

Impressive villa. Very spacious and perfect for an adult family group. Plenty of space so never felt on top of each other. Good communal areas including pool table and table tennis. Great pool and BBQ area Well equipped and good location for beaches and marina. Loved the quirky ‘Narnia’ bathrooms. Would recommend.

This large and well kept villa was exactly what we expected and what we wanted. Yes, it could do with some modernisation (espectially in the bedrooms) - but thats a minor thing. We had a great time and the host (Miguel) was very accommodating. Would recommend.
