Algarve Vacation Recenzje 

Wir hatten über Algarve Vacation die Villa Golden Bay gebucht. Leider mussten wir nach unserer Ankunft feststellen, dass es in mehreren Schlafräumen und Bädern erhebliche Probleme mit Schimmel gab, sodass wir uns in dem Haus nicht wohlgefühlt haben.

Nach einigen Diskussionen hat sich Algarve Vacation jedoch um unser Anliegen gekümmert und uns bereits am zweiten Tag den Wechsel in eine andere Villa ermöglicht. Dafür möchten wir uns ausdrücklich bedanken. Das zweite Haus war insgesamt in Ordnung und unser Urlaub konnte dadurch letztendlich doch noch einen schönen Verlauf nehmen.

Die Sauberkeit in der zweiten Villa hätte aus unserer Sicht an einigen Stellen etwas gründlicher sein können, insgesamt konnten wir uns dort aber deutlich wohler fühlen.

Etwas schade fanden wir außerdem, dass die Kommunikation nahezu ausschließlich per E-Mail und WhatsApp erfolgte und ein persönlicher Ansprechpartner vor Ort nur schwer erreichbar war. Gerade wenn es Probleme mit einer Unterkunft gibt, wäre ein direkter Ansprechpartner vor Ort aus unserer Sicht hilfreich.

Ebenfalls enttäuschend war für uns, dass wir für die ursprünglich gebuchte Villa Golden Bay einen entsprechend höheren Preis bezahlt hatten und die Ersatzvilla deutlich kleiner war. Eine Erstattung der Preisdifferenz haben wir leider nicht erhalten. Hier hätten wir uns ein zusätzliches Entgegenkommen gewünscht.

Positiv hervorheben möchten wir jedoch, dass Algarve Vacation für den Zustand der ursprünglich gebuchten Villa nicht unmittelbar verantwortlich ist und sich letztendlich darum gekümmert hat, uns kurzfristig eine alternative Unterkunft zur Verfügung zu stellen.

Unterm Strich hatten wir einen schwierigen Start, konnten unseren Urlaub nach dem Villenwechsel aber dennoch genießen. Bei Kommunikation, persönlicher Betreuung vor Ort und der finanziellen Abwicklung eines solchen Wechsels sehen wir noch Verbesserungspotenzial.

The communication went well and they were very responsive

Algarve Vacation helped me find a beautiful villa in Albufeira. Communication went smooth and the property was perfect!
Villa Blue lagoon has a great view on the harbour and sea. Very clean pool and lovely garden around the house.

We booked with this company via airbnb in july 26, stayed in villa caya coco portimao, in the photos on the website this property looks fresh and modern, nothing good be further from the truth. The website photos need updating to show how it really looks, then they would have no bookings., need I say more. Problems with 2 toilets, the third in the attic you wouldnt even use, the stench of the place was awful and there was an infestation of flies ( not normal). No accountability tajen by this company.

Experiência muito negativa no pós-estadia.

Fiquei alojado num apartamento no Algarve entre 29/08 e 05/09/2026 e, após o check-out, a empresa decidiu reter €100 da caução alegando o desaparecimento de uma pulseira de acesso à piscina.

O problema é que a própria documentação entregue pela empresa regista a entrega de apenas 5 pulseiras. Apesar disso, foi feita uma retenção de €100 sem apresentação de qualquer cláusula contratual, comprovativo de custo ou justificação documental para esse valor.

Além disso, 13 dias depois do check-out e após várias solicitações, continuo sem receber a fatura da estadia.

Tentei resolver diretamente com a empresa, mas até ao momento a situação não foi regularizada, nem se dignaram a responder.

Espero apenas a devolução dos €100 retidos e o envio da fatura correspondente à estadia.

Fantastic villa. So clean and comfortable. Pool was lovely. Shops and restaurants all within walking distance so it's perfect for a family holiday. Well equipped with everything you'd need.

Gostámos muito da nossa estadia no Carvoeiro

Estávamos a dois passos da praia, tínhamos tudo o que era preciso nas redondezas. Não tivemos dificuldade em estacionar.

O apartamento ficou bonito com a renovação, era espaçoso o suficiente para 6 pessoas. Teria sido bom se tivesse máquina de lavar loiça mas de resto tinha todas as comodidades para uma estadia confortável. O Martin mostrou se sempre disponível com recomendações de restaurantes, atividades e até com um pequeno problema numa torneira que foi resolvido em pouco tempo.

Muito boa estadia, qualidade/preço.
Limpeza impecável, boas condições de apartamento bons equipamentos.

Anfitrião simpática e muito prestável.

Casa Negril is in a great area. Close to the beaches and shops and restaurants. The house is lovely and had loads of space and the kitchens were well equipped to cook meals on the nights we wanted to stay in. And the outdoor space was such a bonus! Beautiful views across the rooftops and beach.
We had a couple of small issues which the company sorted very quickly for us. They were so helpful.
We went with our two grown up kids and there was plenty of space for everyone. The house is great but is on three floors with steep stairs which might not be suitable for very small children.
We had a fabulous holiday and will be booking with this company again.

I booked this Villa for a week from 1st-8th August 2026 together with my children and grandchildren. Despite what they state the Villa is not fully checked and inspected before arrival.
In our case the side entrance was not secure which lead to two intrusions on two separate occasions. The last one at 5.00am in the morning when a black male trying to enter my bedroom in a very aggressive manner.
As I told the owners thankfully it was my bedroom that the intruder tried to enter and not one of my grand kids who were never the less traumatised by the whole event.
The Villa is located virtually on The Strip and easily accessible to all sorts and types of people. I explained all this to the back up team stating surely the most important issue for all guests is their safety and I am afraid this Villa is not safe.
I am confident the reply will be that they addressed all these issues but if you are looking for a safe environment do not stay at Villa Sapphire.
There were other issues but if you pay over £9,500 you surely should expect to at least feel safe!

A great 2 weeks stay, any Help, Advice we asked was dealt with straight away, very Friendly and welcoming, would not hesitate to book again, great memories made, Thank You

We had a wonderful stay at the villa. The location was excellent—perfectly situated and convenient for everything we wanted to do. The villa itself had absolutely everything you could possibly need and more, making our stay incredibly comfortable and relaxing. The pool was lovely and added an extra touch to our stay, providing the perfect place to relax and unwind. It was also a fantastic villa for all ages, with something to suit everyone. It was clear that a lot of thought had gone into providing everything guests might need. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it!

Everything went according the expectation...
The only thing that I didn't like was de complex process of getting 10 ID docs into the reservation site.

Great location, private parking with security/private gates. Swimming pool was a win as we vacationed with kids. Villa was very spacious. In the mornings we’d walk (20min) to hike (beautiful hiking views) next to the beach area.
Any questions we had for the villa, communication was excellent! Very pleased with this choice!

Good location, near the beach and the main street.

We had a great experience in the House. The owners where really kind and the location of the property is really good. Near the beach and good restaurants

We stayed 11 nights at a villa near Faro this summer with our family. The house itself was lovely and the location was excellent — genuinely, we had a great holiday and I want to say that up front.

A week after checkout we were told €199 of our €400 breakage deposit was being kept for an outdoor rattan chair that gave way while someone was sitting on it. No warning, no conversation, just an email with photos.

What bothers me isn't the money — it's about 1% of what we paid. It's how the dispute was handled. Nobody met us at check-in or walked us through the property, so we had no chance to flag anything on arrival. An identical chair sells new for a fraction of what we were charged. I asked to see the pre-arrival inspection report they say proves the chair was fine, and I never got it. I asked to speak to the property manager and was refused. Within days the answer was simply "final decision."

We've rented plenty of places in Portugal and never run into this. Read the recent reviews before you book — we wish we had.

Bad experience with this company. We rented a house. It was surely not what they adverted on the internet, but ok, probably every company does this... (?)
Alarm did not work, and by sheer coincidence, there was a break-in by someone who had a key. They couldn't care less... Very rude, not helpful. Will never again rent with these people.

All good.
Tranquility vacations

We recently stayed at the Villa Seven Seas, Armacao de Pera, the villa is advertised on a number of platforms as a luxury, sophisticated and elegant villa, not a dated and tired villa as is, although evidently recently painted.
We were a party of 9 and required an additional bed. Unfortunately the central leg on the camp bed would not lock in position and collapsed, maintenance men attended their solution use the other 3 spare mattresses to elevate the bed from the floor. The crockery was mismatched and dirty on arrival, bed covers were stained and towels dirty.
The bathroom door to the first floor would not close, although rectified same day. Other bathroom/toilet doors had no working locks. The toilet to the lower ground floor became very smelly. The smell of drains was evident most days.
There were no sunbeds, we located them in a storage cupboard all were unusable and broken, replacement sunbeds eventually arrived on the Wednesday, 5 days into our holiday, these were delivered to the front door on the ground floor. We had to carry them downstairs to the pool area and unpack them.
The kitchen sink backed up the first day of our stay and drained very slowly, not a problem as we could use the dishwasher. Unfortunately the dishwasher discharged into the kitchen. This was reported and a maintenance guy attended. A plunger was used and the sink trap was changed, on leaving I asked whether we could use the dishwasher and advised all was okay. The sink continued to back up and drain slowly and on using the dishwasher again the same occurred, we checked the external drain which was dry indicating the issue to be internal. So we continued with our regular mop and bucket routine. At the end of our stay another maintenance man attended used a plunger and rodded the kitchen pipes who then informed us the problems was outside rather than in.
The outside drain regularly backed up causing grey water to overflow onto the front drive, regularly shower water and soap suds were evident, the drain cannot cope with the number of showers and volume of water. We also noted some tissue in the drains and believe the drains back up from the road, the adjacent properties are higher and any external blockage will result in water/waste backing up to the property.
The relatively new shower on the first floor has a glass shelf, this fell off the first time it was used, although the fitting is fixed to the wall the shelf itself sits in 2 lugs and is not secure. Fortunately, the shelf did not break neither did it cause any injury although remains a risk.
In general, the furniture is quite dated, although the sofas in the lounge were relatively new, unfortunately this only provided seating for 5 although we were a party of 9. There was also insufficient seating in the kitchen dining area, which was also very cramped. We attempted to dine in one evening unfortunately there is insufficient lighting in the alfresco dining area. We did report this issue and a gentlemen attended who changed one light bulb by the patio doors and directed him toward the patio table on the decking area his comment “I am not a magician”. There are numerous outdoor areas, a balcony to the lounge although no furniture to be able to use. The roof solarium is a lovely space but again no furniture.
The pool area is generally tired and poorly maintained. The floor tiling is dirty, there are numerous cracks and many loose tiles, these are hazardous and can cause injury, as they did. The adjoining decking area is also very tired with raised screw heads, numerous cracks and prone to splinters, one such splinter also caused infection. There are numerous missing tiles at the bottom of the pool and around the side, the exposed tiling above the water does not appear to have been cleaned for some time as there is evidence of limescale and scum.
Maintenance, the pool was cleaned once during our stay only after we had asked, the water level had fallen below the level of the filters and there was no visible testing of the water quality. The pool was vacummed, a bucket of chemicals added, and a hose pipe to top off, the gentleman then left requesting us to turn the hose off and put it away and that the pool could not be used for an hour.
Use of the pool did cause ear infections and incurred costs for medical care.
Generally a poor experience, only plus a great location.

I do not normally resort to reviews however left with little option as e mails are ignored and unanswered.
