Top neighborhoods in Albufeira

Albufeira Old Town

Albufeira Old Town feels like stepping into a postcard with its narrow cobblestone streets and whitewashed buildings that tell stories of its fishing village past. The vibrant square buzzes with energy while beachgoers flock to golden sands at Fisherman's Beach and Peneco Beach.

INATEL Albufeira

INATEL Albufeira

6/10 Okay
"I was booked in for the hotel which was close to the beach. But apparently they had two hotels which i booked was a bit far away from the beach so i had to pay extra for the one close to beach which was a superior room. The bed was two single beds attached for a superior room. But the staff told me that he will get it sorted the next day. But they didn’t. So basically as couple we had sleep in different cots. Also the air conditioning was the worse. It was very warm in the room even after bringing the air conditioning to low and the sound from the fan was horrible. I couldn’t get a proper sleep. The breakfast, the view and the soundproofed rooms were fantastic. "
