Pinheiros da Balaia | Apartment in Albufeira, Faro District

“The pictures do not do this property justice, it is incredible and to a very high standard. Thoroughly enjoyed our time there and will return”

“The pool area looks way better in person, everything is close by, £3 in uber to the strip. The lady that works at the bar is so lovely, I can’t praise her enough, I feel embarrassed that I forgot her name. 10/10.”

“Kitchen was well equipped but no laundry or dishwashing soap which would have been nice to know ahead of time. Staff were great and our room with roof top balcony was impressing with great views! Had no problem with wi fi.”

“It was a really nice property on a clean fresh site, there was a good cafe,bar, restaurant on sire that has food and drinks available all day and aclovely swimming pool. We did eat in the restaurant twice and the food and staff were both very good. We didnt use the pool as we were there in march and the weather wasn't warm enough. Thr apartment was clean and well equipped. X x”

“Staff were so helpful and friendly. Villas were very comfortable. Only suggestion would be to provide some kitchen essentials such as wasing up liquid, cloth, dishwasher tablets, coffee and tea. Otherwise all was thought through.”

“The property was much bigger than we expected – very spacious and very clean. We loved having a garden and having the Pinewoods and green space so close by. The pool area was beautiful with a fantastic CAFE which was open all day. It’s a good walk into town or to the beach so be prepared with good shoes or Uber or Bolt app downloaded to your phone!”

“We arrived in March for a 4 day weekend so was lovely and quiet. Albufeira is only 5-10 mins away. Vilamoura is only 15mins away and cost us €15 with Uber. You can fit two cars in the garage and two cars on the drive way to. Great place to stay if you want to be further out of Albufeira town centre for the quiet but still close enough to go for the entertainment. Two pools are great to have but we had these to ourselves. Not sure how full the pools are during busy periods. Would recommend staying here again for another weekend trip.”

“Spacious villa that's good value. You'll probably want to hire a car if you stay here. Overall very happy with the stay.”

“excellent, spacious and well equipped . staff very helpful and a nice pool area and bar restaurant.”

“Wasn’t sure what to expect. We had a horrible experience at the airport, once we got to the hotel they told us “well your holiday begins now”. All the staff were fantastic, all polite and always had a smile. Reception organized everything we needed to make our villa toddler friendly and would organize taxis or trips to wherever we wished. Comfortable villas with lots of space and air conditioners in each room. Nice pool area and the splash pool was perfect for our toddler. The restaurant/bar stays open late(ish), staff were excellent, food was nice and reasonably priced, cocktails were tasty and on quiet nights the staff were a good laugh to chat to. We original only expected this to be a base to crash and a place to plan our days. We got to see a lot of Albufeira but spent more time relaxing here than we expected. Will definitely come back here again and would hesitate to recommend this place. ”
