Points forts : Propreté
5 stars after improving some key items!
The property was as advertised in the pictures and reviews about location were quite accurate.
Location: Great. Nice walk to the local beach (dont bother to grab the car), and food/drinks. Groceries couple mins by car and old part of
Albufeira 10 minutes (recommended).
Villa: Very clean upon arrival, compliments! Space was perfect for the 5 of us, pool very welcome, airco in all bedrooms.
Although our stay at the house was generally comfortable, there are absolute points for improvement, see below from low to high priority:
1- The lighting is terrible. Blue color old-style led bulbs inside. Pool lights defective.
2- Some salt/pepper, gallon of drinking water for arival and sharp knives should be standard in kitchen. Small effort, big difference.
3- The poolside garden is empty, no trees so no shadow. The cheap defective beach parasols were hardly usable!! (Solmarvillas rep that checked on us day after arrival provided a usable parasol asap..thank you for your visit!). A 3.5m floating parasol is a must!! Also provide parasols that can be taken to the beach. The outside dining table+ chairs are very cheap quality.
4- The beds are of quality suited for a budget hostel. The springs can be felt. Actually unacceptable for this accommodation/pricetag. PLEASE fix this with top priority. Waking up tired is not good.
So altogether we would highly recommend this house after points 3 and 4 at least are fixed. This would make it 5 stars.
