Holiday houses in Albufeira da Barragem de Santa Clara

The apartment is very well located, near the beach and with many restaurants nearby. The coolest thing is the terrace because of the beautiful view. If you prefer to stay and enjoy time in silence, it’s a great choice. It's also very clean and has everything you need. And the hosts are very helpful and very responsive; we appreciated their help with anything. It’s a perfect place for a vacation.

If you are looking for peace and beautiful nature the "little house" is for you. Picking oranges from the trees in the morning was just magical! The sound of the bees humming in the trees, the little geckos and sitting on the veranda with a glass of wine was bliss. The total privacy, the stars at night and the hammock made for a perfect holiday. Perfect little cabin, super clean, comfy bed and enough kitchen equipment to make meals was just perfect. Great full sized fridge and freezer. I loved the little outside kitchen and bathroom. Jacqueline and Rudd were super friendly, flexible with check in/out. Beautiful Silves is a short drive away as are the beaches of the Algarve. It would be a good idea to print out instructions to the "little house" before you arrive as there is totally no signal en route to it. Stop off at the snack bar on the way for some great piri piri chicken! Also pack a freezer bag to buy frozen goods etc from the nearby supermarkets.

We had a wonderful stay at Giuliana's! The location is very central, within walking distance of many restaurants. The kitchen was outfitted with essentials, the bed was comfortable and everything was clean! It was a bit hard to contain the water in the bathroom from the shower, but otherwise everything was great during our stay and Giuliana was very accessible to answer any questions we had!

Cláudia is such a kind and warm Person. We immediately felt at home. The Interieur is lovely and detailed, the view is stunning. She was very easy to reach if questions came up and super helpful with recommendations. We felt very welcome and will surely come back :) - the Cats were a super cute plus. Thank you for your kindness and thoughtful hospitality Cláudia!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful property! The place was spotlessly clean and thoughtfully decorated—every detail of the interior felt warm, stylish, and welcoming. The garden was a true highlight: lush, peaceful, and perfect for relaxing. I especially loved the sunbathing area, which made it easy to unwind and soak up some sunshine. Our host was exceptional—friendly, responsive, and clearly dedicated to making our stay comfortable and enjoyable. It truly felt like a home away from home. Highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a relaxing and beautiful getaway!

Incredible stay in this beautiful villa hosted by Wilson. We had such an amazing time! The view is simply magnificent, there is plenty of room and seating areas to enjoy it every minute of the day. We had the pool heated and it was totally worth it. Note if you are travelling with kids, there is a small separated part of the pool that is PERFECT for toddlers. Wilson was such a great host, starting from the Booking. He gave us plenty of suggestions and tips to make the most out of our stay and he welcomed us with a welcome basket which was much appreciated as we just arrived from our night flight. Everything was super clean and there was even everything you need to enjoy the pool and the beach with kids. Don’t look further, if you have a car, this villa is the best base to explore the Algarve. We would happily come back!

The place is in a very quiet & private neighborhood which makes sleeping at night very easy and peaceful. We had a little backyard space with lounge chairs. Place looks better than the photos. The hosts are so kind/immediately responsive whenever we had a question. Tons of extra blankets, pillows, and towels. We didn't use the kitchen but it had more than enough supplies. The bed is firm and, as someone who usually prefers a soft mattress, I did not mind it. The pillows are very comfortable which made it easy to sleep. Air conditioning was amazing to have. It's about a 20 min walk into the town center and 10 min walk from a supermarket. A lot of very easy street parking right in front of the place. Washing machine use is free if you stay longer than 2-3 days (check with host). No dryer but air drying was very fast and easy with the rack provided. The water gets cold easy but I didn't mind because it's the summer. Very clean. Overall, really amazing! We didn't want to leave. 10/10.

Our time in the Algarve was incredible, and this home made it even better. The space is peaceful, beautifully maintained, and perfectly situated for exploring the coast. It is well equipped with really anything you could need. Highly recommended for a true Algarve escape.
