Ideal base for nightlife and relaxing days

We booked Villa Saint Martin for a friends’ trip, and it was perfect. Walking distance to all the bars and clubs, but with a private garden and pool to relax during the day. It’s rare to find such a big house so close to everything. Loved the mix of fun and comfort, we’ll be booking again next year for sure!

Great location, big pool and ideal for families

This was our first time staying so close to Praia da Oura, and it couldn’t have been better. The house is huge, clean, and well equipped. The kids loved the bunk beds, and the heated pool was worth the extra. The beach and restaurants are all nearby, which made our stay super convenient. Highly recommend for large families!

Stunning villa, pictures don’t do I justice. Close to everything but still very private. Pool was nice and big but I would recommend paying the extra to have it heated. Kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed and bbq was fantastic. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect villa for a group stay in central Albufeira

We stayed at Villa Saint Martin as a group of 12 and had an amazing time! The location is unbeatable, just a short walk to the Strip, but still quiet enough to sleep well. The villa is very spacious, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the pool area was the highlight. We also loved having a BBQ night by the garden. Would definitely come back!

Beautiful Villa

Such an amazing place to stay. Pictures definitely don’t do it justice it’s beautiful. Location is great, close to shops, restaurants, the beach. Considering it is just behind the strip it is still very quiet at night/early morning. Only had a couple problems with our villa but then did get sorted quite quickly. 10/10 would recommend!!

Great Villa and location

We stayed at this Villa for a break with friends. Location is perfect for shops and new town and only a 5 min tuk tuk ride to the old town. Really clean inside and outside. Not the most modern of villas but everything you need and the agents and Vrbo made it all very easy

Perfect boys trip

Lovely villa to host 11 friends and I. Location is great and right next to the Main Street of bars and clubs (is loud until the early morning but we knew and expected this). Garden area of the villa is superb, spacious, had a nice BBQ, enjoyed the swim and ping pong table. Cheers to Sandra and team.

Gorgeous villa

This villa is beautiful and very clean with plenty of beds. If I’m honest, a bigger sofa or another sofa would have been great so we all could have sat down together. The pool was brilliant and there are plenty of bathrooms. You could throw a stone and hit the middle of the strip which makes the villa very handily placed although it meant you could hear the music at night due to the proximity. Any questions I had were answered by the property manager very promptly and the welcome meeting was very helpful and the staff really friendly and always there to answer questions via WhatsApp when needed. Overall a beautiful place to stay and help always at hand.

Lovely welcoming villa!

Lovely clean villa, just what we needed for our big family holiday. The villa was a lot better/bigger than the pictures show. The location was ideal as it is central to everything & given the strip is so close, we weren’t bothered by it at all, we could hear some music but not enough to keep you up at night & we had two babies in tow. Our only issue was the check in time being so rigid, we were outside 10/15 mins earlier, the villa was empty and ready for us & we had two small babies in tow and lots of luggage it would have been helpful to have been able to get in just that bit earlier instead of loitering outside but this was denied. The hosts however were always contactable and super friendly and we would definitely recommend them 🙂 they even did a welcome visit which was lovely!

Perfect villa fully equipped no faults

The only one thing is the strip is full of stags that gives the potential of a lot of trouble You don't hear the noise fortunately but I would recommend the old town for your nights out
