The Algarve / Central Algarve region

The Algarve, situated in the south of Portugal, is an ideal location for a wonderful holiday for all ages. It offers practically all year round sunshine and boasts some of Europe's best golf courses. There are numerous beaches, many of them tucked away in secluded parts of the coast line. A drive inland will uncover lovely little hidden villages and restaurants serving their speciality dish of the Algarve "Chicken Piri Piri"!! A vist to the Monchique Mountains with its own spring water is a must to appreciate the beautiful landscape of the Algarve.

The Algarve has a great all year round climate - 300 days of sunshine. There are many places of interest to visit. The Algarve is a popular tourist destination, primarily because of its clean, warm water beaches, Mediterranean climate, safety and relatively low costs. The length of the south-facing coastline is approximately 155 kilometres.

The Albufeira / Club Albufeira area

Clube Albufeira is very conveniently situated just a couple of minutes drive from the Old and new town areas, making it an ideal location whatever type of holiday you are looking for. The low rise apartments are positioned in beautiful landscaped gardens.

The pool areas are great for families with large grassy areas for play as well as sunbathing, the largest pool area is beautifully designed with two jacuzzis and a children's area, separated from the main pool by an in-pool bar! If you wish to do more than lie in the water then you can join the daily aqua aerobics in high season.

For evening entertainment there is the old Albufeira with it's narrow cobbled streets and square which have something to offer everyone, from the white washed cottages to the shops, terraced bars and restaurants.

Plenty of evening entertainment in the vibrant square with shops and market stalls open til late. Also for a more lively evening you can go to Montechoro or "The Strip" as it is also called. This is very popular with the younger tourists.

Algarve shopping centre is a 5 minute drive with numerous retail outlets, bowling, cinemas and restaurants. Also for the golfing enthusiast there are plenty of golf courses in the vicinity some of which have special green fees for Club Albufeira guests. Enquire at reception regarding this and also for booking other outings including Slide and Splash, Zoomarine, fishing trips, dolphin watching etc. The reception area also has internet access, ATM machine and public phones.

Local activities include diving, surfing, swimming, tennis, walking, sailing, cycling, fishing, horse riding, golf, wind-surfing, water skiing, paragliding

“Fab Apartment, Fab Complex, Fab Holiday.Will definitely be back.” "Fab Apartment, Fab Complex, Fab Holiday." This accommodation would be more appropriately described as a Duplex rather than an apartment.It is very spacious on both levels and would easily sleep 8.In fact I would argue that the photos do not do it justice.It is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. Even a basic first aid box and a sewing kit.The kitchen has everything but most importantly a large fridge freezer.There was a huge amount of towels and these along with bedlinen were changed after a week. The accommodation has prime location within the complex being located very close to the two main pools and the main restaurant. It is also near the shop and reception. While it overlooks one of the pools it is far away so that noise from the pool was never an issue. The complex is beautifully maintained and well laid out. All staff at the bars, restaurant and especially reception were courteous and helpful at all times. Our children found it easy to make friends and the pool nearest the apartment is a particularly good sociable area for the kids. In the apartment there was a selction of up to date books, mags etc.There is entertainment 3 or 4 nights per week and almost every night at the campsite which is easily accessed via a footbridge. Albufeira town is alive at night and there is all types of entertainment there from early evening.The main square in the old town offers great family entertainment for families with clowns, jugglers,music etc. The town is about a 20 min walk along a safe walk/cycle way which is also accessed by the footbridge or by crossing the road. Taxis can be ordered at reception costing 4e or there is also a bus service every 30 mins from just opposite the entrance. The bus costs 1.10e but it is well worth buying a multitrip card at the bus station(all busses coming returning from town stop at bus station for 10 mins) which gives you 20 trips for 11e. Sandra could not have been more helpful and responsive at all times. She was forthcoming with any info I needed within a few hrs by email. Payment was easily managed and information re check in was clear and accurate.The apt was available from early morning on our arrival and we did not have to check out until the afternoon of our departure. I know that this may not always be possible but many owners stick rigidly to check in/out times regardless of possible flexibility. There was a folder of useful information in the apartment along with the mobile number of the property manager which was reassuring Response: Thank you for your lovely review. It is always great to get good feedback regarding both the apartment and the complex. We do our best to ensure we provide everything necessary for a relaxing holiday. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

Guestbook for Club Albufeira

Mary - Armagh April 2010
We (myself, my husband and three daughters aged 14, 10 and 6) have visited Albufeira twice and both times stayed in Sandra's lovely apartment in Clube Albufeira. It has everything you could ask for; well equipped kitchen, books, DVDs and games, loads of space both inside and outside, great on-site facilities and handy location for getting into town (either the local bus service or the Resort shuttle are ideal). As well as two lovely restaurants, a shop and several pools in the resort itself, there is a campsite across the road with more shops, restaurants and pools. The apartment feels like a home away from home and the town of Albufeira is charming, great for spending an afternoon shopping or people watching. We hope to be back soon!!

Owner's Response: Hi Mary
Thank you so much for your lovely review. It was great having you back again. It means a lot to us to have guests coming back a second time as it means we must be doing something right. We look forward to welcoming you again in the future. Regards, Sandra and Derek.

Property was large, extremely well equiped and clean, very much home from home. There is a view of one of the pools which is only a couple of mins walk down steps. Plenty of sun loungers available and you can rent the mattress for the day. We went into the old town most nights via taxi which cost around 3/4 euros. There is a small wooden shop close to apartment which is well stocked and not overly priced.
We had a great family holiday and our first time renting a private apartment - I will never use package holidays again!! Tina - Westmidlands - August 2010

Owner's Response: Thank you Tina for taking the time to leave a review for our apartment. I am so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and that the apartment provided all you needed for a pleasant holiday. We try our best to ensure that all needs are catered for. Hopefully we might hear from you again in the future. Regards Sandra

"This location had something for all the people in our party. The apartment was well maintained and had all the necessary utilities including private balconys and bbq. The restaurant beside the nearest pool had a great menu and pleasant staff and never disappointed us. (try the steak on a stone) The reception area had internet access, cash machine and a wealth of information for things to do on your holiday.
The local area of Albuferia old town was a very vibrant place and had a huge selection of shops for gifts, clothes, local produce and some of the best restaurants we have ever eaten in.
The Atrium (formerly a theatre) has live local music, attentive staff and a vast menu (the Cataplana is a great local dish) and Za Za for some of the best sushi you will ever eat!
The beach is also very clean and has "pay as you lay" loungers with shelter. There is also a lot to do there including parasailing and jet skiing. Everywhere is accessable by cabs which are inexpensive.
This is definately somewhere I would recommend and the owner, Sandra, is great to deal with. She had a helpful information pack at the apartment and kept us informed every step of the way including transfer information and places of interest.
Although we were mainly all single people, it would also appeal to families
Look forward to dealing with her again. "

I have recently returned from a 10 day stay in Club Albufeira and can honestly say it was the best holiday experience I have ever had. The apartment was huge and had everything we could have possibly needed. The washing machine was a great bonus. The apartment was in a fantastic location, being near to one of the pools and the restaurant O'Pavilhao which served excellent food. It was also close to reception and the main entrance so very little walking - a lot of the apartments are up a very steep hill. The pools (all 4 of them) are well kept and the gardens are beautiful. There is also a little mini market with a great selection of items. Reception have internet access and an ATM which is brilliant. The local bus stops outside the complex every half hour and brings you to Albufeira in less than five minutes. All in all this was the most relaxing holiday I have ever had and everyone was happy as the facilities are so good that you don't have to travel every day.
I would recommend this apartment and complex to anyone looking for a super, relaxed holiday and it caters for all age groups. I cannot wait to come back and have booked for next year already! Thanks also to Sandra for all her help before hand and all the useful information she emailed to us. Collins Family (Dublin) - October 2009

Club Albufeira was ideal for the us with the pools & restaurants on site & the town & beach only a few mins away. The apartment was perfect and had everything we needed. The complex & grounds are well kept, clean & safe. Lovely place.The kids all met plenty of friends & had a great time. I would recommend this to anyone. You can have the best of both worlds, quiet & relaxing in the club or hit the old town for a more lively experience with its great selection of shops, bars & restaurants. Paul - Dublin August 2009

Hi Sandra,
Just wanted to say Thank you for the wonderful holiday we had. The
apartment/villa was beautiful! I have to say we couldn't fault it in any
way. The complex was superb and we'd love to return some time. Thank you
also for helping us with the place next door.
Kind regards, Jennie - June 2009

We have just arrived back and would like to thank you for the use of your property.
It was one of the most relaxing holidays we have ever been on and we will be returning to Club Albufeira next year. The place is fantastic and so well maintained. We couldnt get over how spacious the apartment was and it is so close to the pool.
Thanks again and hopefully we will be in contact about next year when I have my dates. Stuart - July 2008

***************************************************************************************************************

Just to let you know we have had a really lovely time, the weather was a bit showery at times, but we did see the sun, taxi arrangements were perfect and the apartment was lovely and spacious perfect for the five of us, thank you so much for allowing us to use it. We loved the restuarant just at the bottom of the stairs, the food was lovely and it was perfect with the kids, The whole clube has a lovely feel about it very peaceful, once again thanks alot. Carol - May 2008.
**********************************************************************************************************************

The weather, the resort, the apartment, everything was
perfect, so much so that we are seriously considering doing something
similar next year. The children loved the pools right on their doorstep and the games and
jigsaws you left in the apartment proved very useful.
We would recommend Albufeira, Club Albufeira and in particular your
apartment to anyone thinking of a holiday in Portugal. Mary - Armagh - March 2008

**********************************************************************************************

The apartment was everything we'd hoped for and more
and location was fantastic... Thanks a million for letting us the apartment we couldn't
have asked for better or nicer. I have to say i'm very very jealous and if
you'll have us again we'll hopefully make a return visit to the Algarve
sometime in the not too distant future....Samantha - Limerick - June 2007
