Albufeira is one of the top holiday destinations in the Algarve. With its mix of New and Old Town. The old town remains an unusually pretty village with its narrow cobblestone streets, twisting lanes of whitewashed houses and terracotta roofs above a beautiful spread of beaches. In the day time walk around all the local shops and have a drink in one of the many Bar's and Restaurant over looking the picturesque beaches. In the night watch the town come alive with street performers and music . In one of the many great Restaurant's why not try chicken piri piri one of the local dishes.
In the New Town you have late Bars and Discos open in the early hours. With some more great Restaurants. All this is with 20 min walk from the Villa. Also don't forget about Slide and Splash, Aqualand, Zoomarine all with in 20min drive and some of finest golf course with in 10min drive from Villa Santa.
Villa Santa is located in the main town of Albufeira. Located close to the recently built Hotel Grande Santa Eulalia (5 star) which is surrounded by bars, pubs, restaurants. The Hotel itself has a sports club with Tennis facilities, Gym, as well as many leisure activities.

The villa is beautiful and in a perfect location, less than 5-10 minutes walk from the strip and a 2 minute walk from a great bar to have breakfast, lunch or dinner at and a shop. Jim was a perfect host, always available when needed but not hounding us at all while we were there enjoying our trip. Would recommend to any group heading out looking for a great place to stay! There was 12 of us staying there as part of a stag party and it was perfect.
As a group of 16 girls on our first holiday together we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect villa. The location, cleanliness, and space in the villa, as well as the communication from Jim was great. Would highly recommend.

Great location
The location of the property is great! The property needs a little maintenance and looks tired, 3 of the sun beds had broken legs showers weren’t very powerful and one of the bathrooms we couldn’t use due to the smell….
Villa was fantastic for our stay. It’s a 10 minute (flat) walk from the main strip, and less than 10 minutes to the beach. Taxis to the old town are 3-5. Jim was very helpful whenever we needed him. Would happily stay here again and would recommend to anybody.
Jim was fantastic with communication, always responded and was very helpful. Villa was large enough for 13 of us and was a great location to beach and a short walk to the ice cream hut and the strip. A few things weren’t working and a some tiles around pool broken- but Jim is now on the case to get these issues resolved for future guests. We would stay here again due to location and for Jim being so good with things raised and being on it with helping with any questions.
10/10 location & stay for myself and 14 guests! Plenty of room for everyone & bathroom space etc.
property could do with a little TLC and the pool table could do with a new one, over all cleanliness was 10/10 and couldn’t complain for the money either!
Would recommend and return. Jim was a fantastic host and very informative.
Jim was a brilliant host and the property is great value for money. Having the taxis organised by Jim was very helpful and he was very easy to contact during the stay (a lightbulb needed replacing). The surrounding area has a selection of shops and a few bars - Ubers to the old town/strip were very cheap.
Good communication from hostGood location to shops/restaurants/barsGood communal areasInterior a little datedNo cleaning equipmentA storm meant the roof leaked (was a bad storm to be fair)
Prior to arrival, Jim was in good communication on requirements and information for our stay.
On arrival, villa clean and spacious. All beds comfortable and fit for purpose. Keysafe for key was practical for large group use.
Only downside was advertisement of pool table which was not at villa but overall this didn't bring down the overall experience.
Would return again.

Location was spot on. Short walk to main party strip and not too far from Oura Beach where there was a great little restaurant/cocktail bar. Property was fairly clean, dishwasher wasnt great so couldnt get things cleaned properly before we left. Very spacious inside, the pool area seems a lot bigger in the profile picture but it was still enough for a group of 9 lads. Overall, i would reccommend this property.
Our second trip to the same villa.
Jim was a superb point of contact through, transfers arranged and always immediate responses to any queries.
16 males on a ‘lads trip’ and the location was ideal. Short walk to new Strip, and only 7 euros for a taxi to old town.
Pool table and table tennis could do with an update but all in all another great trip.
We were a hen party group of 10 staying here. Living and dining area downstairs is nice and very spacious. Bedrooms are basic but clean with comfortable beds. Bathrooms are looking a little tired and in need of a spruce up. Pool clean but cold. Overall the villa certainly met the needs of our group. Fab location too. Easy booking process and communication from property manager Jim was superb. Thank you!
A great size property, the living and kitchen space is nice and big for hosting a big holiday. The pool was also a great size and enough sun loungers/seating area. The rooms were clean. Kitchen has enough utensils etc, the oven did trip the electrics but easily fixed by switching the electrics back on. Otherwise no problem just when using oven. Villa felt safe and secure. Great location, beach close by and local shops too We managed to lock our personal stuff in the villa safe so I contacted Jim. He was quick to reply and sent the maintenance staff out to help resolve the issue. Thank you! Helpful host.
We stayed here for 3 nights for a stag do, no complaints at all. The villa itself was an ideal location with shops/restaurants 2 mins away, strip 5 min walk and old town 10 min taxi drive. You won’t find a better villa for the price you pay it’s standard but it’s clean and tidy with plenty of beds/bathrooms. Jim our host made everything easy regarding check in etc and he’s on hand for any issues although we had none to report, he arranged airport transfers for us also which were a good price and a simple process through his help. If we return to Albufeira as a group again we won’t hesitate in rebooking villa santa!!
The only shortfall is the accuracy of the online listing - I believe it mentioned the pool was heated, but we couldn’t figure that out. The WiFi didn’t work. BUT this was such a perfect villa, the issues didn’t phase us, it would have been nice to have. But after a few hours everyone forgot, there were 14 of us and we loved it. The location is just top tier. Shops round the corner, the strip and beaches are walking distance. I also want to thank Jim, planning a hen for 14 wasn’t easy, but the communication with Jim was so easy and really made a big difference. So I really appreciate it.
Couldn't fault Jim as a host. He was always on hand to answer any questions and also pointed us in the direction of a local transfer.
The location of the villa was perfect for a hen-do with a convenience shop less than 5 minute walk, and the strip about a 10 minute walk.
The villa was plenty big enough for 12 women, although it was a struggle for hot water when everyone showered at once (to be expected)
I would say that there is some maintenance that needs to be addressed; unable to close doors properly, filter by the poolside is a trip hazard, unable to open blinds etc.
But these things were minor in comparison to the great time that we had. Would definitely book again for a group of adults.
Thanks Jim and team :)
Nice villa, perfect location just a few small issues
Nice villa but in need of some modernising. There were 14 of us, description states villa can sleep upto 16 however there were only 10 sunbeds which wasnt ideal. Inside villa is fairly spacious but the outside area isnt very big. Pool was nice once it had been cleaned. Few issues that need attending to, washing machine was leaking, the plug to the hob was quite dangerous as there was exposed wires behind the drawer where it plugs in and also the safe malfunctioned with money and passports inside. For the most part Jim was quick to respond and resolve any issues. Location is brilliant with lots of bars and restaurants within a few minutes walk but not close enough to be bothered by any noise. All in all an enjoyable stay
