Vor allem hat uns die Größe gefallen ca. 100 qm. Der Blick auf das Hafenstädtchen und den Atlantik von unserer Hanglage während wir auf einer unserer drei (!) Terrassen saßen, war gigantisch. Alles sehr sauber, modern. Die Betten waren sehr gut, keine Rückenschmerzen am Urlaubsende. Die Übergabe (der Vermieter hat bis nach Mitternacht auf uns gewartet, da wir uns verspäteten) und Rückgabe verliefen total einfach und reibungslos. Sehr empfehlenswert! Wir werden hier wieder herkommen! Ich hätte mir eine normale Kaffeemaschine gewünscht und nicht nur so ein Nespresso-Teil. Mehr fällt mir auch bei viel Nachdenken nicht ein.

We had a fabulous three weeks at the Albufeira Ocean Apartment 😎. Almost home from home, but with a great sea view and lots of sunshine and evening sunsets. The apartment is modern, spacious and comfortable. Located in the quiet Windmill Hill area, yet great links to visit the whole of the Algarve. Would certainly recommend and indeed hope to return. Thank you to Yana and Andrey for their excellent communication and assistance.

This apartment exceeded our expectations, was exactly like the photos and was located outside of the main tourist area but easily accessible to everything. Typical uber costs were €4 to go to restaurants and supermarkets then beaches and town was around €6-€7. The pool was nice and the apartment well equipped. We made dinner on our lazy evening and breakfast almost every day. Grocery store was a quick 5mins away. I would definitely return to this apartment again. Vitor was really helpful, he provided nearby bakeries for my birthday cake and checked in with us regularly to ensure we were doing alright. During our stay the elevator was out of service but Vitor kept us updated on the repairs progress and further provided us with a 10% discount for the days we were inconvenienced. Overall amazing experience and I would definitely recommend staying here.

Alles aanwezig in dit appartement, tot zelfs shampoo,thee, vaatwas blokjes en meer. Ook het gebruik van de ondergrondse garage is zeer praktisch en staanplaats is op enkele meters van de lift die je direct op wederom enkele meters van je appartement brengt.Bij aankomst word je vriendelijk en op tijd opgewacht door Andrey en bij vertrek wederom hetzelfde. Overal voorzien van airco en een terras aan zowel de voor als achterkant. Zo zit je steeds in de zon of schaduw. Zwembad is ongeveer 25 meter lang en nooit te druk, er zijn ligstoelen voorzien en je parasol staat voor je klaar in het appartement. Bedankt Yana voor het bezorgen van een leuke vakantie en tot ziens.

We stayed in the apartment for 3 nights while in Albufeira. The apt itself is great, has everything you need and a very convenient balcony that has a great view on the ocean over the building in front. The complex is great with 2 pools, one very shallow, ideal for kids, and one deeper great for adults. The complex is gaited and has an indoor parking. The indoor parking is very tight so we ended up parking outside, but still in the gaited complex. The only nuisance we ran into was the in person check in and out, which I believe is a little outdated since you have to organize a meeting. Aside from that, everything else was excellent. The location is great as well, close to the old town but it's located high so walking back to the apt is very intense, something to keep in mind if you have kids. We used our car to get to the town and there was a free public parking with availability not to far from the town. There is a supermarket very close, but again, I would suggest taking a car to get to it.

We had a fantastic stay at this place! The host was extremely helpful and accommodating, always responding to any questions within minutes and genuinely trying to help find solutions. We needed adapters for US-style plugs, and they brought them the very next morning. An extra bonus was the cosy sofa on the balcony with incredible ocean views. As coffee lovers, we also really appreciated the fancy coffee machine for espresso/lattes (honestly the highest-quality coffee machine we’ve ever seen in an Airbnb, which was super impressive!!) We also very much appreciated being able to check out 1.5 hours later, which allowed us to safely enjoy the beautiful beach before heading out. The area is very quiet and peaceful despite being only a 7-minute walk to the main Albufeira beach (via the elevator) and just a few minutes away from plenty of cafés and bars. Can’t wait to come back!!!
I spent one week at BNB homes and it was just the perfect place. Check-in and check-out instructions were clear and easy and the host was very responsive incase of any question.I felt right at home.The entire apartment was spotless and modernly furnished giving it a 5-Star vibe and a new home feeling. The double terrace was an extra plus one to enjoy the sunrise and dine on as it’s fitted with a dinning table and the other one to enjoy the afternoon sun and sunset as you sip your favourite drink and enjoying the breath taking view of the sea, the beautiful garden of the compound, the swimming pool and an amazing cliff.The apartment is 5-10 minutes walk to the beach, supermarkets, bars/restaurants n the vibrant old town of Albufeira.The host has a brochures with QR codes for recommendations on activities to do,the nearest hospitals/bus stops,bars and restaurants etc.The tennis court and the tools needed to play was a plus.The aprt is also peaceful n private.I will stay again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Beautiful villa in a great location, managed by a top host. Highly recommended. Our holiday here was thoroughly enjoyed by our family of nine, including young children, adults and grandparents. The host was always responsive and even proactively checking in periodically to ensure everything was ok. Thank you BnB Homes, will see you again!
