Hands down, a perfect location. There's a market just a 5-10 minute walk away, and the beach is only 3 minutes on foot. There you'll find a bar, a couple of restaurants, and massages right on the sand. Beach chairs, umbrellas, and ocean toys are all available to rent as well. Albufeira itself is just a 10-15 minute drive, and there was enough parking for three compact SUVs.The villa is as described and ideal for a big group. We had 14 people and plenty of space to come together or split off when we wanted privacy. Our family loved having the option of swimming in the pool or walking down to the beach. Some areas of the home felt a bit more run-down than others, especially the bathrooms, and the beds weren't very comfortable. They felt closer to sleeping on cardboard than a real mattress. We also noticed a few ants on arrival and didn't think much of it, but by the next day we found a major infestation in one corner of the house, with scattered ants elsewhere that seemed to be searching for food. This was probably the worst part of our stay.The rooftop was a nice touch to hang out on and watch the sunset. There was another rooftop we asked for access to, and they said they'd look into it, but we never got a response.Overall, this villa is great with lots of potential. It just needs some updating, comfier beds, and something done about the ant problem.
