If you are searching for a 3-5 bedroom villa in the Albufeira area, stop now and book this! Our extended family of 10, including 4 children aged 2-7 years, stayed here for two weeks in early July 2019. Having stayed in various villas elsewhere in the past, our standards could be considered quite high. Villa Estrelicia did not disappoint! The booking process was simple, and Carlos was excellent in providing lots of useful information and responding to any queries so quickly, both before, during and after our holiday.
We found the location to be perfect - far enough from the ‘action’ to completely relax in peace, but only a short walk to the beach or drive to the Strip/Old Town/Supermarkets/Marina. We did not find it necessary to hire a car as all these places and more can be reached for less than 10EUR (we used many Ubers which, unlike the standard taxis, will collect you for the villa door!).
The villa itself is set over three floors, with one twin and one double on the first floor (both en suite), one twin on the ground floor (also en suite) and two twins on the lower ground (perfect for the children) which share a bathroom. We found all rooms to be spacious, well decorated and perfectly clean. The kitchen is well-appointed including a large dishwasher and washing machine, and the large lounge has a big tv with plenty of dvds to choose from for nights in. All rooms have aircon and the gardens are spacious and very well maintained.
The pool is truly amazing! Very large, very clean and very private, with lots of space for the many sun beds - we spent most of our holiday in and around the pool. We highly recommend paying the little extra for the in-pool lighting which was lovely in the evenings.
Each of us were so impressed with the villa, we cannot recommend it enough and would absolutely book again next time we visit the Algarve.
