About this house rental
An Algarvian charming & recently totally refurbished town house, originally a fisherman's house, in the old part of Albufeira and on a typical Portuguese cobbled street, the property boasts fantastic & uninterrupted front line views of the Ocean from all three floors.
This town house, known to us as Casa Portuguesa, is spacious & modern with open windows to a large terrace directly overlooking the Ocean. The outdoor terrace has a table for 8 persons, a large umbrella with a 3 meter diameter, 6 sun loungers and a built in BBQ.
The property has been fitted with comfortable & modern furniture that serves perfectly to accomodate holiday makers. No detail has been spared.
On the ground floor is the spacious kitchen complete with a fridge/freezer, electric hob & oven, microwave, toaster & washing machine. All the basic nessecaties are available including cutlery, serving plates, glasses, pots & pans etc.
Also on the ground floor is a complete bathroom consisting of a shower, toilet & sink as well as a large & spacious sitting/dining room complete with a large screen TV, 32 channels and WIFI internet.
Each floor has an air conditioning unit.
The main area of the first floor is divided into a double bed bedroom and sitting room with a fireplace. The sitting room is spacious & has a comfortable seating area overlooking the ocean. The large glass windows lead to a balcony also overlooking the Ocean.
There is also a double bed bedroom on the first floor facing the street (only this bedroom and the kitchen have windows on the street side, the other rooms all overlook the ocean), which can sometimes be noisy with people walking past to go to the beach or to town.
There is a full spacious bathroom consisting of a shower/bathtub, wash basin & toilet also on the first floor.
On the second floor is the en-suite master bedroom with a double bed. It has a terrace with stunning views of the ocean. Wake up to the magnificent uninterrupted view of the ocean right in front of you from your bed.
The en-suite bathroom area has a dressing area, a shower, toilet & jaccuzzi with 2 hand basins all also overlooking the ocean.
On the staircase from the first to the second floor is a space which we used to put a single bed.
All windows & terrace doors have mosquito nets.
Available for renters are a baby kit consisting of a baby bed, playpen and high chair.
The surrounding area has many cafes & resturants to cater for all tastes. On the same street is an excellent Indian restaurant, a typical Portuguese cafe and a cafe that serves light lunches and drinks on a terrace overlooking the ocean. Walk towards the town center, about 4 minutes walk away and the food/drink options are unlimited.
One corner supermarket is one or two minutes walk away and a larger supermarket with a variety of international products is situated within walking distance - it is an uphill walk that takes about 5-7 minutes.
The fantastic stretch of sandy beach is less than a 1 minute walk away & with a glass elevator to reach it.
We hope you choose our property for your coming vacation.

The decor needs much improvement, the house was very plain and basic and the beds were very hard and uncomfortable. This properly required the renters to supply all basics such as toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap and dish soap. This fact was not detailed on the VRBO site which was a big omission. However the location was absolutely perfect for exploring the Algarve region and Albufeira is a really great town!

This property is in a great location and has absolutely stunning views. It can accommodate 7 people easily and I thought the layout was better in person than in the photos. The view from terrace is beautiful and so relaxing to sit and listen to the ocean. It is an easy 3 minute walk to the beach elevator and on the quiet end of town, which we preferred. You can walk to the tourist center of town in10 minutes and if so inclined can walk on the beach all the way to the promontory that you see in the photo.
At the end of the street are 2 fun little restaurants. The Iguana Café closes at 7:30 so if you want to have dinner there you need to be there before 7. Their charcuterie plates and the Greek salad were very good. Across the street is the Rossio. This is an excellent small restaurant. We went there 3 out of 5 nights for dinner and thought every seafood dish we had was excellent. You will want to make reservations for dinner in advance.
The Digital Inverter Samsung air conditioning units worked great!
I would give this rental 5 stars except 2 issues. There seemed to be a great difficulty in communication about our arrival. I got messages and relayed information back through email, home away messaging, what's app and text. I think I was dealing with both the owner and management company. However, once we arrived someone came to let us into the property in a few minutes. My only issue with her was she did not seem to have many suggestions for the area. She showed us the home and that was that. There was not much information in the home about what was in town or restaurant recommendations or information of that kind. Secondly, I was very surprised and disappointed to see that the only provisions the home had were dish washing soap and toilet paper. There was not even soap to wash your hands after using the bathroom. The management company said the owners chose not to provide anything, however, it is hard to believe that basic supplies that are left by previous renters can not be left for others to use, such as salt, pepper, olive oil and washing machine detergent. The very first thing we had to do upon arrival was get to the grocery store and this is the first rental I have had this experience with.
If you choose this rental you will certainly not be disappointed with the stunning views and close proximity to the beach. Also, be sure to take the Bengali Cave Tours - we booked through Viators. It was great.
