Vila Recife

Villa Recife is a 3-star hotel offering delightful, clean accommodation right next to Albufeira’s old town. The hotel has a pool, an outdoor garden seating area and is surrounded by gardens, which the glass-fronted breakfast looks over. If you’re looking for an affordable place to call your home during your stay along the Algarve cost, Villa Recife might well be it.

The facilities at this hotel consist of a swimming pool with a terrace to lounge on, including typical sun beds; there’s also a garden bar for enjoying a bit of shade from the hot southern Portuguese sun. There’s an indoor lounge area if the heat gets too much, or you need to wait for a very unlikely rain shower to end. There’s two roof terraces with sunbeds too with great views over Albufeira old town.

Fisherman’s Beach is just 5 minutes away, and the one of the best assets of this hotel is its extremely close location to charming Albufeira old town, with tons of restaurants, bars and shops with quaint cobbled streets. Sant’Ana Church is right next door to the hotel, and as the main church in the town it’s a great place to begin your exploration of Albufeira. To warm up on your history of the area, vist the Centro Historico de Albufeira, which includes exhibitions of the past of the town. Nearby Vilamoura can make for a great day-trip.
