The description of peaceful and stylish is perfect
Pros: The place is charming, comfortable, the yard is a great add on, it has all kinds of pieces of old furniture beautifully combined with everything you need in the modern era. The internet was speedy gonzales, best I’ve tested in western Europe. Martina is great ❤️ Budens is quiet. It was a wonderful experience.

Fabulous
Pros: Amazing experience - the house is exceptional and perfectly equipped and furnished in every way, including great beach equipment. The cleanliness is impeccable. Communication with the host was superb. The location of Budens is perfect, being in good reach of both Sagres and Lagos. There is a supermarket nearby, a nice little bakery and above all two excellent restaurants (Good Fellas and O Tiago), which are just a 1-2 minute walk away.

Gorgeous home, definitely book this place!
Pros: Super friendly host. Extremely clean cottage. Lovely quiet neighbourhood. We loved it here. Stunning decor. A home from home. Local beaches are beautiful. Intermarche super handy. I love this area and was so happy to show it to my friend. Will definitely come again.
Cons: It was a particularly windy week in the west, and so not as good warm weather as we would have liked. But that wasn't the fault of the accommodation!

The perfect place to relax and a great base to explore the area
Pros: The photos don’t do it justice. We booked for a whole month so we’re apprehensive when we arrived… nothing worse than being stuck somewhere you don’t like for so long! But as soon as we walked in … it was like coming home. So comfortable, perfectly furnished, tastefully styled, immaculately clean. Our host couldn’t do enough… even coming to check the post each day as we’d registered for postal voting and didn’t want to miss out. We also loved that it was in the old village side of budens. Five minutes from Boca de Rio beach (where we could take our dog) and from Salema beach (for a dog free treat day… an upmarket and gorgeous beach… never packed, just the right amount of facilities). Supermarket and restaurants very close. Garden and roof terrace were gorgeous. Can’t find anything ad to stay and as soon as we left we booked for next year!
Cons: Nothing to fault . It was perfect for us. But if you don’t have a car it’s not probably going to work. It’s not walking distance to the beach and it’s also quite hilly. One of the neighbours on one side seemed a bit fed up with us… maybe tired of british tourists .. can’t say I blame them if they feel the village is losing its identity so one tip i would give is try to learn a bit of Portuguese and be demonstrative in appreciating the community.

Very enjoyable, we loved it !
Pros: A lovely spacious house with a delightful sunny private garden. We enjoyed our brief stay enormously. A great location for exploring the beaches & other delights of the Western Algarve. Everything was made nice & easy, it was very relaxing we cant wait to visit again !
Cons: Nothing. Maybe a small dressing table in the main bedroom & a better hairdryer would make it perfect !

Nice, clean and spacious house in a lovely location. Great host, would recommend!
Pros: Great location, in a lovely village, quiet but with close proximity to amenities and attractions nearby. The house had ample space for my family of four, including a lovely garden with barbecue facilities. A nice place to relax after a long day exploring the Algarve. Martina is super helpful and we were provided very helpful information on places to eat, visit. A great stay!

Eine Oase der Ruhe
Pros: Das Haus ist großzügig und mit allem ausgestattet, was man benötigt. Die Betten sind sehr bequem. Besonders schön ist der Garten und die überdachte Terrasse. Budens ist ein kleiner Ort. Fußläufig vom Haus entfernt ist ein Supermarkt. Ansonsten braucht man schon ein Auto. Übrigens, das Restaurant Good Fellas, das nur wenige Meter neben dem Haus ist, ist sehr zu empfehlen.
Cons: Nichts.

Pros: Perfektně vybavený dům včetně slunečníků a hraček pro děti na pláž. V ubytování nám nic nechybělo, ale hostitelka se i průběžně zajímala, zda je vše v pořádku. Soukromá zahrádka byla skvělá :)

Pros: La casa è davvero accogliente e con tutto il necessario per rendere il soggiorno gradevole. Il giardino curato, con un piccolo prato, un bel tavolo per i pranzi all'aperto. Un angolo sofa sotto il portico e un solarium sopra il tetto della casa. Il borgo è autentico e il vicinato cordiale. Martina è un'ottima padrona di casa: attenta ma discreta. L'auto è indispensabile ma la maggior parte dei luoghi d'interesse sono vicini.
Cons: Ripartire!
