Albufeira, Faro
This new spacious villa is located in the heart of the "Quinta da Balaia Resort", a nature paradise of green and birds singing, surround by beautiful pine forest, offering a very quiet and peaceful atmosphere. A pleasant walk to the beach , through the nature reserve. Famous Golf courses and Horse riding are easily reach at 10 minutes at Vilamoura.
Excellent property . A little bit out from the town and beach . However taxis or Uber are cheap and easily accessible . The owners and staff were great and easily contactable .
It's very nice to stay here with a group of friends.
The house was big, nice bedrooms, nice living room and a garden with a big artificial grass field and nice pool which is around 2 m deep at one side. Perfect for big families or for a group of youngsters. A good but complicated alarm system. Nice and quiet neighborhood. Distance to centre Albufeira and the Strip around 25 minutes walking. Closest supermarket at 20 minutes walking. A few things were broken, like the dishwasher and a poolchair but we had an amazing holiday in this house.
We went to Albufeira with a group of 11 friends. This villa was perfect for us! We spent a lot of time in the garden which was very nice and comfortable. The house was also ideal for us. Every room had its own bathroom and a big closet. The only thing that was a bit disappointing was the kitchen. The stove did not work well and all the glasses and plates were still dirty when we arrived. The kitchen did not have any wipes or towels to clean with and basics like salt, pepper and oil were missing. Besides this, we had an amazing week we will never forget!
Awesome experience, great owner, everything was as it should be, I totally recommend this listing!
It was a wonderful stay in the villa for a group of 11 people. Everything is just as said and shown on the announcement, or even better. Location is great, just before the entrance in Albufeira, the closest beach is 20min walking (but the one called Praia de Falesia is even better !) The only negative point was some parts of the garden and pool had not been cleant before our arrival, there were some few party leftovers of the prior guests.
The house was very clean and proper, Isabel prepared everything carefully before our arrival. The outside of the house is also very nice, big garden, swimming pool, and a bbq, ideal for a big group. The house has a really good location, in a very peacefull area. 100% recommendable
We were in the taxi from Faro to the villa in Quinta Da Balaia. I called the housekeeper/cleaner that we would be a little bit late, she asked us what day we were coming and she thought we would come 1 day later. We arrived at the villa and we saw a group of 18 boys in the villa. We asked if we could look around and they let us have a look. The pool was broken (it was green) and litterly anything that you could think of was broken. After a couple hours standing in the burning sun and alot of phone calls we got a place to stay. The first day was completly ruined. The next day we had to leave the villas we had for the first night at 3. We could go in the other villla at 9. So we had 6 hours again where we couldn't do anything because of our luggage. First 2 days where ruined. We saw that everything was broken. We couldn't use the pool, the tv was broken, paintings were cut, it smelled like sigarettes, chairs were broken, the couch had burning holes in them. We asked for the money of the first 2 nights back and Isabel told us we would get the money refunded. The cleaner would come every day to clean for 1 hour but she didn't come the whole week. Nobody spoke a word of english. Absolute nightmare. I would recommend this villa at all. Isabel is not nice and doesn't respond to your emails. The villa doesn't look like a thing on the pictures.
We stayed in this villa in April 2017. It was clean, beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. Extremely spacious and could easily and comfortably sleep up to 15 people. The garden is a perfect sun trap, secluded from the neighbors with plenty of sun beds to go around. The pool is an ideal size. The outdoor dining area and BBQ were used every night. The villa is located in a small complex with a shop and restaurant, tennis courts etc. which was fairly quiet at the time of year we stayed. However, you are ideally located to travel to vilanova which cost about €3 euros in a taxi and the old town and marina is just a little bit further out costing about €6 in a cab. I would highly recommend this villa and hope to return to stay again sometime.
Hi Isabel, I would like to take to to thank you for the wonderful stay my friends and I had at 309 Quinta da Balia last weekend. The villa was in a wonderful location for the golf courses we chose to play, and the nightlife of Albuferia that we wanted. The villa was extremely clean, and could you pass on my thanks to Fatima who was so nice. Hopefully we will return to Portugal soon and use your wonderful villa again. Many thanks for such an easy transaction, from the initial contact and booking of the villa, to being greeted by Fatima on our arrival. The experience of dealing with you was a pleasure and made for a wonderful trip. Kind regards and best wishes for the future Muito Obrigado
