INATEL Albufeira, hotel in Albufeira

Located 1640 feet from a beach, INATEL Albufeira is a 10-minute walk from the city center. The hotel has an outdoor swimming pool with a terrace with sun loungers and air-conditioned rooms.

This was booking error in my opinion. There are two Inatel hotels with the same address. According to the host at Inatel, this happens often. We thought we booked a seaview balcony. Only we had a sea view and balcony but not beach front. Bookings that is very very deceiving

FAQs about hotels in Albufeira








Sun, Sand and The Strip!

One of the best Algarve resorts, Albufeira has wonderful beaches, turquoise waters and the dramatic, rocky coastline that makes this part of Portugal so special.

Naturally, life here is all about sun, sand and sea. The most popular Albufeira beach is Fisherman’s Beach and you can still see locals bringing in the fishing boats every morning - if you’re up early enough, that is. Tunnel Beach is accessed through an opening in the cliff, and both have a variety of water sports.

Further up the coast is Albufeira Marina, from where sightseeing boat trips depart, while east of the town is the 9-hole Balaia golf course. On the way here, you pass Arias de Sao João, home to The Strip where the best bars and clubs are found, many staying open until the early hours.

The Old Town of Albufeira is more peaceful, and its cobbled streets house Moorish buildings and some great restaurants serving fresh fish. If you fancy a day trip from Albufeira, the 12th-century remains of Moorish Almoáda Castle in Paderne can be visited for free.

The town is around a 45 minute drive from Faro Airport and there is a fantastic range of beach resorts, small B&Bs and Albufeira apartments at Booking.com.

    Albufeira Old Town has become loud and full of Stag and Hen groups :-( Best time to visit it is before lunchtime; after that it becomes rowdy. If that's what you want then fine. There are plenty of other quieter bars/diners on the outskirts, so it can be avoided in the evenings. Some lovely old typical Portuguese houses and buildings further out of the town square.

    lovely place... great food... lovely... BUT maybe if you hate the madness of the stag and hen season, maybe more so Stags as they come in vast number, I would suggest late summer as in spring and early summer it is madness with drunks and idiots in abundance.

    Certain parts of Albufeira are still beautiful, but the old town seems to be full of stag & hen parties. The Strip is the same but you expect that there. Santa Eulalia & Olhos d’Agua are still nice, & have beautiful beaches.

    You can split Albufeira into two parts - Centre - focused on turists and Old Town part - for slow wondering around. Centre is located in Old Town, so You can make two steps away from main street and enjoy quiet, relaxed atmosphere. Town beach is beautiful - large and sandy with clean water. Unfortunatelly The Lift (the one who takes You down from streets level to beach level) doesn't work and You have to use over 110 steps to get down to beach. Food prices avarage for holiday resorts - starts from 15Euro for pizza up to 20+Euro for everything else. Super cheap Port wine to buy in Intermarche (from 4,2E). In general people speak english, so no problem with comunication.

    We stay in an area called santa eulalia it's a bit quite than the strip and old town which suits us we can get a bus taxi or the little train into old town for a day. The area also has bus stops which give access to other areas in albufeira and connects to main bus station. Some of our favourite places to go are netos restaurant , Roberto's piri piri restaurant, robieros restaurant, all have good reasonably inexpensive food and friendly staff, the little cafe deli on the corner of the octopus roundabout does lovely snacks and drinks, the coyote bar and the old house bar have friendly staff and good for karaoke next to a very good Chinese restaurant

    The location couldn't be better. Steps to the fun and shopping of Old Town, great restaurants and Peneco Beach (which has an elevator!). Its a fantastic property. Front desk staff is EXCELLENT. Breakfast was perfect and the pool and deck with the view of the beach is magical. Everything you could want in a boutique beach hotel. We were lucky enough to be in town for an annual festival taking place but wouldn't have known unless we saw the flyer in the lobby! What a treat...immersed in a locals event on the first night of our trip...

    Vila Branca is an amazing property in the Albufeira Old Town. I communicated with Nico - the property manager during my stay and he was really kind, professional and helpful host. The 1 bedroom apartment in which I stayed was neat, tidy and spotless clean. Everything was accessible and within walking distance from Vila Branca. Useful tip: Try the cafe across from the property. It serves the best coffee and meals.

The reception staff were exceptional and so helpful and the cleaning and bar staff were helpful and happy. Hotel was clean and well maintained. Location was walking distance to Old Town and less then €4 to New Town so perfect for everyone.

    All of the facilities were in excellent condition and very well presented. Staff were very friendly and the entertainment was tip top. Although the hotel is far away from the centre of Albufeira old town there is a shuttle bus which is free of charge which runs multiple times a day from the hotel. I also thought the hotel was situated in a beautiful vista spot with some great walks along the cliff.

    Absolutely stunning property, if you are looking for a nice quiet family getaway than I would highly recommend staying here. It’s a 5-10-minute drive from pristine beaches and old town Albufeira but is far enough away from these crowded areas for a nice quiet place to rest. The host Tiago was also excellent and was always quick on the response towards any questions we had during our stay.

    Nice hotel. I guess it was my fault for booking the noisiest place to stay in Portugal. Albuferia seems to be party central and does not shut town at night. So no sleep for a few nights. It was not the hotels fault. Very nice front desk staff. In center of old town.Close to all old town has to offer. Restaurants and bars.
