    It is sad to give negative feedback, but unfortunately there is a lot of Tender loving care needed as it's just been left to deteriorate. There is no staff onsite and a young man came to give us the keys. We rang to let them know we were on the way and struggled to find the place which had a side entrance near the pool or main entrance hidden off a road. We said we'd be there in 20 min, but got lost so took 30 min and then we waited and waited another 20 min before anyone turned up. When checking out, you leave the keys in the room, close the door and message to say you've left. There is no personal attention. The garden furniture was dirty and random chairs and tables left around, by the pool area, the grass viewing area The pool although a lovely looking pool was dirty and not able to swim. We booked a studio room in the main house and got a studio room next to the no longer working cafe, which at first looked like the ablution block. We were told you booked a studio room, this is one. The patio furniture was strewn everywhere and there were old cigarette butts from previous people. People who got the room next to us complained and we're moved to the main house. Although a lovely setting, it was disappointing. The photos don't depict the reality of the property

    The room was clean and bed comfortable There was a small kitchenette and facilities to microwave and have a coffee. This place would of been a beautiful place in it's day. Not far from town, cycling and walking distance.

    When I arrived needed to wait 30 min for the staff to check me in the room. Room had unpleasant smell of mould. There was small terrace but no table and chair to sit on. Swimming pool outside looks bit dirty.

    Nice quiet area close to beach promenade.

    During our stay, we saw few cockroaches in the bathroom. One of them was very huge, we named it « oggy » so if someone see him, tell him « hey oggy ».

    The garden was nice. It was easy to park.

    A place with a good view and potential but poor management and cleanliness.

    Check-in unfriendliness, long wait times, had an issue with the first room allotted as there were "cockroaches", then after insisting a lot over the phone, they agreed to change the room, else they were saying that nobody can clean it until the next day and expected us to stay in the cockroach filled room. On top of that, we had to wait for another 30 minutes for the other key to be delivered to the replacement room. Overall extremely unsatisfying experience and the unorganised management was unfriendly toward the customer.

    The views of the property and the overall landscape around it.

    Cooker did not work. Shower was tiny and loose - very hard to use. Was rather dirty (it needs a deep clean). Stairs a death trap for young children - no rails, stair gates or guards.

    Fantastic views, quiet location and the highest point of Albufeira!

    Hand over of the key was not the best, lockbox would be a better option. Also no WiFi code left in the windmill had to track this down.

    The windmill was lovely. Views from the top bedroom were fantastic. The grounds were were perfect.

    Wifi was so slow that it did not work. The room could use more light and ventilation.

    The suite was well designed and had everything needed. Great shower. Pool was nice(tho cold at this time of the year).

    The cleaners drop off towels every 5 days so we had to use dirty towels, and the water in the entire facility (both in the kitchens and bathrooms) didn’t work so we had to have cold showers for 5 days.

    The property was large and very picturesque. The pool area was shared but my friends and I loved it and it never got busy.

    There was no air con which wasn’t a problem during the day as the villa stays cool but at night we needed the doors/windows open & it was extremely windy some nights so lots of noise/banging doors. No curtain in 1 of the bedrooms so that became very warm. It would have been nice to have a table/chairs on the balcony. The coffee machine didn’t work.

    Beautiful location away from the crowds of Albufeira. Great views from the top floor of 3-bed villa. You can see the sea from master bedroom. Gardens were lovely. Nice pool area & we had the pool to ourselves some of the time. The 3 bed villa is very spacious & over 2 floors with 2 bathrooms, a laundry room & roof top area.
