Casa dos Sonhos - a hidden gem!

## Space

Casa dos Sonhos sleeps up to 6 persons with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The house has been tastefully decorated with modern and comfortable furnishings while respecting the style of the traditional Portuguese waterfront accommodations. In a relatively small space, the owners managed to create a bright and airy holiday home, ideal for families with children. All bedrooms are equipped with A/C while the open plan living and dining room receives plenty of fresh air from the adjoining patio. The kitchen is fully equipped. An external staircase leads from the patio to the roof terrace with outdoor dining and lounge set. The ideal place for your morning coffee in the first rays of sun or one of those never ending balmy summer nights with a glass of wine and good company.

➤ We usually welcome families with children or responsible adults because the property is in a quiet neighbourhood, and we have huge respect for our neighbours.

Please get in touch with us before booking if you’re unsure if you fit this profile, so we can see whether this accommodation fits your travel plans.

## Interaction

This home is in the hands of Rental Valley, a property management team who work hard to make sure your stay is smooth and comfortable! We are available should you have any questions or requests during your stay.

From one week before arrival we’ll send you our rental guide. This holds all useful information to help you arrive safely and much more. Please read it carefully before your arrival and let us know if you need anything or have any questions.

## Neighborhood

The townhouse is located smack in the middle of old town Albufeira, very close to the beach and just around the corner from lots of restaurants, shops, and bars, and therefore a popular tourist destination. As the house is located along a residential street, you are in the middle of all the hustle and bustle, but still in a quiet and calm location.

## Transit

You can easily get around on foot or use public transport or taxi/uber to travel around town. If you wish to explore the larger Algarve area, a hire car is recommended. Parking in old town Albufeira is challenging, therefore we recommend you to use one of the parking areas like P5 (5 minutes from the house) or (for free) on the outskirts of the city and walk or take a taxi from there.

## Notes

➤ Check-in time: 16:00-22:00 (late arrival via keybox possible in consultation, phone support might not be available for assistance after 22:00)
➤ Check-out time: before 10am
➤ A/C and reversed A/C heating is available in all bedrooms, not in the living room
➤ The fireplace seen in pictures CAN NOT be used

ℹ SEF REQUIREMENTS. All property owners in Portugal have a legal requirement to report tourists’ and guests information to Serviço de Estrangeiros e Fronteiras (known for short as, SEF).

Situated minutes from restaurants, beach and lively old town the location would suit most age groups. The rooftop area is perfect for relaxing in the sun which it gets from early morning until late afternoon, even in February.Three bedrooms and three bathrooms make this a good property for family stays.

Lovely cottage in easy walking distance of the centre, but far enough away to make it feel like you’re somewhere more remote. Lovely private roof terrace with seating and dining table (and cushions and umbrellas), in addition to the little ground floor courtyard, which also has a smaller table and a couple of chairs. We chose it for the en suite bedrooms and it was exactly as described. We did have an issue on arrival, but were able to speak to the rental agency who resolved it quickly and efficiently. Some road noise can be heard in the bedrooms, perhaps take ear plugs if you think it might be a concern for you. Overall a charming house in a great location (and very close to the beaches), turn left at the end of the road for Fisherman’s Beach, which is less busy than the main beach with some lovely restaurants.

The property location and amenities were good, but it was infested with ants. We all had ants in our beds, clothes, luggage, and everywhere. If you sat on the couch, ants started crawling on you. I emailed the landlord, and they told me to buy an ant trap, and they would reimburse me for the cost. It was disappointing,
