Overview
Casa da Ursula is a spacious, traditional villa just 250m from the wonderful Praia dos Alemaes Beach, Albufeira. With three bedrooms, the villa is ideal for six guests, though if you use the double sofa bed in the twin bedroom, you can squeeze another two guests in.
Almaes Beach is wonderful and ideal for the whole family. There is a wide range of water activities including a floating playground, banana boats, pedal boats and kayaks. It is around the corner from the fabulous party beach Praia da Oura and the ‘Strip’, famous for its neon clubs and bars and buzzy nightlife which continues until sunrise. Albufeira is widely known as a party resort, but it is also fantastic for families and boasts a charming, cobbled Old Town, brimming with atmospheric restaurants and fantastic boutique shops. The ultramodern marina is also a delight with fabulous restaurants and excellent boat trips.
It is just perfect being able to walk to the sunny beach though you may be tempted to spend some time just chilling at the villa. The outside space is lovely with a fenced 8m x 4m swimming pool, terrace with sun loungers, a barbecue and alfresco dining and a garden with a lawn and lovely, colourful planting. There is also a roof terrace if you want to escape with a good book.
The living and dining space is open-plan with comfortable furnishings, an open fireplace and access to the terrace. Immediately at the exit, there is an outdoor covered lounge area with a hammock and some shady seating. The indoor living area is open to the dining space, which is raised by a couple of steps. It is an elegant, serene space for indoor dining. The kitchen is modern with wooden cupboards.
Casa da Ursula boasts three delightful bedrooms. One is a twin with the beds next to each other. It also has a sofa bed that guests may use. There are two comfortable double bedrooms. The bedrooms share two fully-tiled bathrooms, one with a shower and the other with a bath.

Location
About the surrounding area of Casa da UrsulaCasa da Ursula is in an excellent, central location, just metres from the beautiful Alemaes Beach in Albufeira. The villa is walking distance to shops, restaurants, cafes and much entertainment.
There are excellent beaches in Albufeira, and the surrounding coastline including Praia do Peneco, Praia da Oura, Praia da Coelha, Praia de Sao Rafael, Praia da Falesia, Praia dos Arrifes, Praia do Castelo and Praia de Santa, but those are just a few to mention. Albufeira’s town beach of Praia do Peneco is reached through a tunnel through the cliffs or by taking an elevator from the pristine promenade with superb sunset views. Tourists love the journey to the beach. At low tide you can take some seriously long beach walks along the golden sandy coastline, admiring the red cliffs that back most of the beaches along the way. The fabulous Praia da Falesia is almost 6km long and takes roughly 2 hours to walk!

There are over 100 restaurants in all, many serving super fresh fish straight from the marina. The marina is a tourist destination in its own right. It is very modern and is brimming with luxury yachts, colourful fishing boats and excellent, chic restaurants as well as entertainment such as bouncy castles and bowling for the young ones.
Outside of Albufeira, visitors enjoy visiting Loule, Silves and Faro Old Town. All are charming with historic churches and castles, markets, fabulous restaurants and friendly locals. There are numerous thrilling adventures to be had in the theme parks, zoos, water parks and high ropes adventure courses. Golf fans are not forgotten as there are many world-class courses within easy reach.

THE REGION
Albufeira is one of the Algarve’s top hotspots. It’s a charismatic beach town with an energetic and busy vibe where every type of holidaymaker can find something to enjoy. Not only is it family friendly and bursting with great activities for kids and teens, there is also a buzzing nightlife scene on the downtown strip for adults travelling on their own.
If you’re after something a bit more cultural, there is also a beautiful Old Town where all the best restaurants and historical sites can be found. For those looking to get a little bit extra out of their Albufeira stay, Vidamar Resort in the Salgados area offers all the perks of staying in a self-catered villa plus the amenities of a luxury resort.
Not far from there you’ll also come across the beachy Sao Rafael as well as Galé where the sandy stretches and deep blue waves will have you thinking you’re on the set of a photoshoot. Golf lovers might want to head to Amendoeira Golf Resort, located a quick fifteen minutes from Albufeira, which is perfect those who like a good game while still staying close to town.
ABOUT THE ALGARVE
Though most people tend to see the Algarve as all about the beaches and a holiday on the Med, there’s far much more to it than that.
But while you’re enjoying one of our fantastic villas in Algarve, you may well want to take some time out from all that sun worship to explore everything else the region has to offer – so we’ve put together this handy travel guide to give you a little help and inspiration!

From fabulous beach days, thrilling fun on inflatable playgrounds or banana boats, visiting animals in Zoomarine, water adventures in the water parks, bowling, mini-golf, high ropes challenges, kayaking, boat rides to petting zoos, the list is endless!
The water parks are excellent. Aqualand Algarve, Aquashow Family Park and Slide & Splash provide thrilling aquatic fun for the whole family. Slide & Splash is heading towards Portimao and offers birds of prey, reptiles and macaw presentations as well as excellent adrenaline rush slides. The 4-man Big Wave ride surprises even the most adventurous. Aquashow Family Park is located in Quarteira, and Aqualand Algarve is situated in Alcantarilha, between Albufeira and Portimao, where you will find the highest water slide of the Algarve.
Horse and pony lovers can enjoy treks and lessons in dressage, jumping and stable management at the Albufeira Riding Centre, Equestrian Horse Riding Albufeira and the Riding Center Quinta da Saudade. Experienced riders can take a beach trek which would be a memorable experience.
The charming Krazy World Zoo is an interactive zoo with activities for everyone. Children can feed dwarf goats, lamas and deer in the petting zoo and in Terra Exotica they can enjoy the interaction with several species such as African spur turtles and birds in the aviary. The zoo is also home to lemurs and some 8.5m snakes. There are some fascinating animal presentations, and also there is a delightful pool to swim in. The world of dinosaurs, mini-golf, pedal karts and bouncy castle are an added bonus!
