Anyone been to the Algarve?

Hi! Going to an event at VidaMar Resort near Albufeira in the Algarve and need to book a villa nearby. Have never been to the Algarve before and having tried to research on line I’m really struggling. We are a family of 4 and we are looking for a villa with pool and air con that will enable us to get to events at the VidaMar resort. If you have any knowledge of the area and can recommend villas or websites that will help us it would be hugely appreciated. We are happy to pay more for a nicer villa. Really hoping someone out there can point me in the right direction 😊

I've been to Albufeira a couple of times and have booked through James Villas.

I’m pretty sure the Vidamar has villas on site with their own pools. They are just across the road from the main hotel if I remember correctly. Might be worth checking the website

Hi OP
Would this place be of interest?

I have stayed at this small resort and it is lovely.

Enjoy the Algarve.

Thanks Citychick, really like the look of that. We will hire a car for most of our exploring but how easy is it to get a taxi to and from the villa? Also, do you have any idea how far it would be from VidaMar Resort? It really seems to be exactly what we are looking for. Thank you so much for posting the link 😊

Hello.
I'd say it's probably no more than 10 mins drive from where you need to be.

Because this resort is out of town and set back from the main road, I would advise hiring a car at the airport and driving. No onsite supermarket.

Or... reception can arrange taxis for you. Probably even car hire but you'll need to do a supermarket shop. Most guests hire cars.

It's a beautiful place. I hope you find an available villa.
