“Can't wait to return ✈️☀️🇵🇹”
+Everything. The host was very accommodating. Location was great and all the facilities were available
−Having to leave it ! Would be ideal if there was a sofa bed in the lounge to fit more people in

““Fantastic villa in a perfect location””
+We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely villa. It was spotlessly clean, with a large private swimming pool and beautiful sea views. The area was very quiet and felt extremely safe. There’s a small SPAR shop just a few minutes’ walk away, and Albufeira Old Town is only a short stroll from the villa. The location is excellent, with everything you need close by while still being peaceful and relaxing. We had a fantastic stay and would definitely return. Highly recommended!.

+We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Vila Mar Central and couldn’t have asked for a better villa or location. The location was a definite 10/10 , perfectly situated and so convenient for everything we wanted during our stay. The villa itself provided absolutely everything we needed, making it feel like a real home away from home. It was comfortable, well-equipped and had everything we could have wished for. The pool was amazing, and the privacy of the villa made our stay even more enjoyable. It was the perfect place to relax, unwind and enjoy some quality time together. A special mention has to go to the two lovely ladies who worked at the villa. They were incredibly helpful, friendly and accommodating throughout our entire stay. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and their kindness and support really made a difference. Overall, Vila Mar Central exceeded our expectations. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend this villa to anyone looking for a beautiful, private and perfectly located place to stay. We would absolutely love to return! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Great location, everything you need for relaxing daytimes and busy nights in the old town.”
+Large, well appointed lounge, aircon to all rooms, kitchen large and well equipped. Pool area excellent, few chipped tiles and the odd bit of flaky paint. Sunbeds and beach towels provided, parasols (although as you fairly high up they are prone to “take off”). Location for old town could not be better - close enough but not noise or crowd affected 👍
−Limited storage space in double bedroom - no drawers and wardrobe “small”. Kitchen would benefit from some plastic beakers etc for poolside. Maybe a “guest guide” to local facilities?

+We loved this villa, its perfect in fact , location is above expectations, your literally on the sea front, 4 mins walk to old town, you don't need to hire a car . Can't wait to see if I can book this for next year. By the way , swimming pool is beautiful.
−I didn't like the fact that our time here is too quick to go, no negative about this place, promise you will say the same.

“GREAT VILLA ON THE WHOLE BUT THE BEDS WERE NOT COMFORTABLE. NEW MATRESSES NEEDED.”
+THE LOCATION WAS EXCELLENT FOR ACCESS TO THE BEACH AND OLD TOWN. ALSO THE LOCAL SPAR AND CONIVAN BUT ALSO NOT TOO FAR TO PINGO DOCE AND THE CONTINENTE SUPERMARKETS. THE 2 LADY CLEANERS WERE ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT AND WERE OFTEN AROUND IF WE HAD ANY QUESTIONS OR ISSUES.
−IT GOT QUITE NOISY WITH TUK TUKS AND THEIR PASSENGERS ON THE ROUNDABOUT ADJACENT TO THE VILLA. ALSO NO OVEN, BBQ OR WASHING MACHINE WAS AVAILABLE. THE BEDS WERE ALL VERY HARD AND WE ALL STRUGGLED TO GET A DECENT NIGHTS SLEEP BECAUSE OF THIS.

“Excellent location, beautiful spacious villa with fabulous pool, very close to old town and beach.”
+Excellent location with a gorgeous pool and views of the sea. Great supermarket with everything you need just around the corner. The apartment was so quiet at night and easy access to the beach and all restaurants and bars. Would definitely stay there again.
