Villa Alexia - By Algarkasa

Villa Alexia is a three-star hotel located in the Olhos de Água area of Albufeira, a coastal town on Portugal's Algarve. This residential neighborhood offers a quieter alternative to Albufeira's busier central zones, with its own small beach and fishing harbor just a short walk away. The property presents itself as a practical base for visitors looking to explore the Algarve coast without staying in the heart of the resort activity.

As a hotel with amenities like free on-site parking and a garden with barbecue facilities, it caters well to self-sufficient travelers, particularly families or groups arriving by car. The availability of parking removes the common concern of finding a spot in this popular tourist region, allowing guests to come and go easily for day trips along the coast. The garden and BBQ area provide a space for relaxed, informal meals, which can be a welcome change from restaurant dining every night.

Guests can settle into their air-conditioned rooms from mid-afternoon, giving time for a swim after a morning journey, and are asked to depart by 10 a.m., which works well for catching a morning flight thanks to the available airport shuttle service. This shuttle is a notable convenience for those with early departures from Faro Airport, eliminating the stress of arranging last-minute taxis.
