We have usually stayed in Albufeira but in July our family booked a villa in Almancil.Although the villa was lovely it was too remote for us. My husband is not very mobile and there were no buses near.

We have seen Jardin Branqueira villas advertised but are not too sure of the location.Can anyone help with information please?

We need a 3 bed villa with pool and WiFi preferably with a downstairs bed with en suite.Either central or near a bus stop.

Any help will be gratefully received
Thankyou

According to the map it seems to be quite a bit out of town. Have a look at Villa Plus, if you search "no car required" you will get centrally located villas. If you ask your question on the Trip Advisor forum too I'm sure you will get plenty of suggestions.

Branqueira village is a couple of miles to the east of Albufeira but even with no car is reasonably accessible with a bus to and from town every 30 minutes on weekdays and Saturday morning, every hour Saturday afternoons and Sundays until 730pm in winter, 930pm in summer. Bus fare currently is €1,40 cash, 80 cents with pre paid pass.

Branqueira does not have much in the way of shops but said buses stop right outside two of Albufeira's biggest supermarkets.

If Google Maps is correct, Jardin Branqueira villas are about half a mile from the village centre, cafés, bars and the bus stop.
