STUNNING VILLA, FREE WIFI, PRIVATE HEATABLE POOL, 750M FROM THE BEACH

Algarve Vacation is committed to working towards providing sustainable accommodation options together with our property owners, reflecting our commitment to environmental responsibility.

Villa Matira is a lovely 5-bedroom holiday home in central Albufeira (sleeping 10 + 3 guests), just a few minutes’ walk from both the Albufeira Old Town and the colourful Marina. With an unbeatable location, private swimming pool and breath-taking sea views, this villa is the perfect holiday home for your getaway with family or friends.

Villa Matira has free Wi-Fi and air-conditioning in all rooms.

The property is spread out over several levels, and benefits from a stunning rooftop terrace, from which you can take in the expansive sea and city views. On the second level there’s a twin bedroom, as well as 2 bathrooms. The remaining bedrooms are located on the first level (2 twin bedrooms and 1 double bedroom) where you can wake up to views of the ocean.

The lower floor of the property houses the living areas, a bedroom, a guest W.C. and a fully equipped kitchen including dishes & utensils, gas hob, electric oven, refrigerator, microwave, washing machine, dishwasher, toaster and coffee machine. From the kitchen and living area on the lower floor you can also take in the stunning ocean views and memorable sunsets.

The cosy living / dining room allows for family meals and evening get-togethers and has direct access to the terrace by the swimming pool where you can enjoy a meal al fresco, cooked on the BBQ while taking in the magnificent views. Out on the pool terrace you’ll find plenty of sun loungers to soak up the sun or lounge in the shade in between dips in the pool.

Villa Matira has an incredibly central location, in a residential neighbourhood of Albufeira. The property is just a 2-minute walk from the nearest supermarket (Intermarché) and has a variety of shops, restaurants, bars and cafés within close proximity. The famous Elevador do Peneco accessing the beach below is just a 6-minute walk away, the Albufeira Old Town is within a 10-minute walk and the Albufeira Strip is just a 10-minute drive away.

With such an excellent location, Car Hire is not necessary/needed, however if you want to hire a car, we can help you with your request. Other options of transportation include the local bus the Albufeira “Giro” with several routes around town and local taxis which are readily available and well-priced (for which contact information will be provided).

The changeover day for this property is on Saturday.

**If your flights are booked or your dates are fixed and these do not match the changeover day, please send an enquiry to confirm that they can be accepted before making a booking. **

Pool Heating will always be an upgrade for your holidays, especially when travelling with children. The temperature of the water when the pool heating is activated will always be between 5ºC and 8ºC higher than if there was no pool heating.

Location, location, location.
The location of the property is perfect. Close to grocery store, beach, Old Town and Marina. Property could use a little TLC but overall I would recommend it for a family stay in Albufeira.

Great family vacation
Property is well situated near the beach and town. Best part of the house was the swimming pool which was very private, clean and heated. Would stay there again.

Disliked: Check-in
A nice place but ...
We took the train from Lisbon and arrived at around noon. Check in was not until 4:00 pm. They would not let us put our bags in the villa but told us that we can store them at their offices at a rate of E2.50 per bag per hour. We were 9 people at two bags each would cost us E112.5 per hour. We enter the villa and the women notice that there are no brooms so I call management but they tell mev that they are out of stock. We buy one at the corner store for about E4.00, plenty of stock. Then we have problems with the air conditioning. Some didn't cool at all and some kept shutting off. There is a separate unit in each room. They finaslly send someone to check the airconditioners and he recommends replacing one of the condensers but I explained to the manager that he had to be wrong because it was blowing cold air. So nothing was replaced and the airconditioners kept shutting down. The manager told us to shut the airconditioners when we left the villa but who wants to come home to a hot house. I'm sure that there are better performing property managers in the town. All in all you can't have a bad time in Albufeira and we certainly had a great time there. Then, when I came home, I got hit for having yo replace a table they say we broke. They never sent us pictures of the damaged table and of course talk to the wall. The proper management team can make or break your stay. This team didn't make our stay.

Excellent!!
Maison telle que décrite : espace, localisation, tranquillité mais proximité, vue, piscine, équipements, ... Seul aménagement qui pourrait être revu : une meilleure mise à l'ombre du coin à manger sur la terrasse (pas suffisamment couvert pour une tablée de 7 personnes malgré les parasols présents)

Beautiful Algarve escape
As a three-generation family group of 8, Villa Matira was ideal for us. It provided lots of space for everyone, some privacy for those who wanted it and it was fully equipped with just about everything. What you see in the photos is exactly what you get. PROS for us: location close to beach, old town, marina and its restaurants, supermarket and local bus (no car needed); the beautiful, quiet residential neighborhood; the large, well-maintained, fairly private pool; the tropical pool deck and the rooftop patio with a great view; the communal kitchen with walkout to the pool. CONS: seagull droppings on the deck and patio; temperamental hot and cold water taps and showers, the imperfect cleaning of floors and other areas. Despite the cons, every one of us hated to leave Villa Matira and would not hesitate to recommend it to others - and to rush back ourselves for another stay! Overall, it's a beautiful place for an Algarve escape!

Perfect stay
Customer service was top notch. Location fantastic! Within walking distance of the beach, the harbor and the 'old' center. Supermarket at 50 meters. Pool was heated to the right temperature. House was very clean. Everything you need was there. We had a great time!

Looking for a family get together, lovely villa nice area.
Lovely villa, showers are a little tempramental either very hot or freezing cold. Pool lovely but no pump to cerculate water, and as we had a baby and my husband a plant operator for pools for over 40 years, was very against us using it. I must say the company did do all it could to help us. We had a lovely break away apart from a sickness bug witch one by one we all got,

Beautiful, large place in a great location
Beautiful, large place in a great location. It's a 10min walk to beach (stairs/elevator nearby) or 15min walk to downtown. Nine people had plenty of room. We loved the pool and views. Check-in and check-out were easy with a lockbox. Host was responsive and we went on one of the boat tours they offered/arranged to the Benegil cave.
