Detailed Reviews
The guest house is just a short uphill walk from the beautiful beach and from the centre of town. Ideal location for either.
The rooms are big and spacious. Ours had a balcony and I think all rooms had one. Old style building which I liked. There is a small pool which is really well maintained. Plenty of pool furniture and much of the time we had the pool area to ourselves.
There is great attention to meeting clients needs. Mafalda is really friendly and attentive. There are lots of small details that show the effort they make. There are parasols and beach chairs by the door to borrow for going to the beach. There are books and sun creams on the shelves.
Breakfast is very good. Cereal, fruit, cheese, ham and breads are all laid out. There is a choice of fried or scrambled egg and also tangy fresh orange juice.
Relatively small establishment so it tends to be friendly with a personal touch.
One disadvantage has to be mentioned. Loud music from town drifts up and carries on until four in the morning. Personally it didn’t bother me at all and I slept fine. There are shutters which dim the sound and ear plugs are provided in case you need them.
I loved it and would happily stay here if I visited Albufeira again.

My mum and myself have visited Portugal for the last ten years and decided to give Bertolina a try. The whole place is exceptionally clean and tidy. Rooms cleaned every day and anything you needed was not a problem at all. Mafalda is great, she was very helpful and informative. Air con and bru making facilities in the rooms along with a small fridge. The error I made when booking here was not realising how close it was to the square. Out of season I expect this wouldn't be an issue but in season music is on very loud until 4am which made it quite difficult to sleep. We were in room 201. Very spacious and near the front door. I think the rooms on that side may be a touch quiter than the rooms on the other that directly face the square. Nice small pool and sun bathing area with a fridge next to the pool to pop any drinks in. Out of season we would stay here again and recommend. I believe they are looking at maybe sorting some new windows and doors next year which would massively help address the one issue we had in terms of noise. Thank you Mafalda, you keep a lovely guest house and all the best for the season!

We stayed here for 3 nights and really enjoyed it. We we're greeted by Mafalda(manager) and she explained how things worked with regards breakfast etc. We we're a little early so went for a drink and then returned to be shown to our room which was very clean and had a lovely balcony, a small fridge and ear plugs beside the bed, now I've seen a lot of reviews about here complaining about the noise and yes it's loud and goes on into the morning but honestly it didn't really bother us. If your sensitive to this kind of thing then stay somewhere else, for us it was no problem and we generally sleep really well throughout our stay.
Breakfast each morning was nice and had plenty of options.
Oveerall we enjoyed it here especially with it being so close to everything and would stay here again no problem.

We have just returned from a fabulous stay at the Bertolina.
This stunning little guesthouse is in a fabulous location with a view of Albufeira Old Town Square and is the ideal base to get around the Albufeira area, it’s a nice 15 minute walk to the Marina or just stay local and use the lovely restaurants that the Old Town offers.
The accommodation is kept spotlessly clean and there is hand sanitiser available from the minute you walk in the door and is also placed on each floor. Mafalda the Manager of the guesthouse takes great personal pride in ensuring each guest has the best/safest stay possible (she’s amazing 😊) and the pool is a real bonus and a great feature for this little guesthouse. Continental Breakfast is available upon request and this includes freshly made eggs, delicious local pastries and the most amazing freshly squeezed orange juice.
I really cannot recommend this little guesthouse enough and would like to thank Mafalda for making our stay so special, we cannot wait to stay again.

My husband and I checked in late this week. This little guest house is perfect! Tell your friends to book it early! The location is great. The rooms are very comfy and spacious. The bathrooms are much bigger than any of us expected for a B&B. The pool is private and secure. The location is right in the middle of the old town area. So wear some walking shoes because it’s convenient to a ton of restaurants and shopping (as long as you’re ready to walk up or down the hill for a block or two). Mafalda, the house manager, is so sweet! She will do nearly anything for you. She arranged for our transportation to and from the airport. Our flights were delayed so they were adjusted several times and it was not a problem. She has been providing an amazing breakfast for us every morning. I mentioned how much I love the local pastries and the local pastries are now part of the morning breakfast. I could not ask for more. The flat screen TVs in each room receives channels with many languages (including English). We will definitely come back again when we’re in the area.

Lovely and very clean place ... just 3 minutes from the beach and practically in the city center.
There are some beach umbrellas available to take for free !
Breakfast is not included but is only worthwhile if you are used to having a hearty breakfast. We (drinking only coffee and croissants) preferred to go shopping and have breakfast by the pool.
Mafalda is very nice and always available.
Very recommended ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I was looking for a central stay in the heart of Albufeira I read the reviews on TA and some comments could have put me off I’m really glad it didn’t. Firstly the accommodation was excellent very clean in fact spotless. The hostess was charming, very helpful and kept me informed with WhatsApp messages before arrival re checkin, key code etc. and during my stay.
If you’re looking for a quiet stay then Bertolini is not for you but if you are looking to be in the thick of the action staying in a great central location in a first class guesthouse then Bertolina’s is definitely the one.

Very nice hotel, quite simple but has what you need. Also means you can meet other guests which is nice. Breakfast is really nice - options of cereals, yoghurt, bread, as well as eggs, bacon and toast. Coffee or tea is served along with fresh orange juice. Only thing is if you have an early flight breakfast is only from 08:30.
Mafalda is a lovely lady who runs the place. She gives you her whatsapp so you can contact her at any time.
As per other reviews, it does get quite loud since it's close to everything - personally I had no issue with the music, but if you need dead silence to sleep I'd recommend looking for somewhere that isn't so close to everything.
Only thing I wasn't particularly fond of was there was no door signs to indicate whether you want housekeeping or not - the one day where I did not, the housekeeper came in and out of my room three times, and when they realised I was sleeping, they left but didn't double lock the door. Other than that was great! Would stay again.

We booked this as a group of 4 friends.Manager was very polite and lovely in previous messages,(don't be fooled) As soon as we walked in the place smelt musky and it was so dark.The only thing she did was give us rooms together as requested. No plug for bath and I could pee faster than taps in bathroom,just everywhere smelly
.Went to see the pool which had most dangerous winding steps totally unsuitable for my frie d who has previously suffered a stroke!Water inpool dirty ! I text her and asked for a ground floor so my friend didn't have to go up and down steps but no luck. Booked a lovely hotel for the next day and just left and refused to give us any money back ,100 euros would have been something as cost us nearly 800 between us.Got a pleasant text that day apologising that we were unhappy and wished us well.3 days later she text that an item had been found which belonged to my sister and we could pick it up
They got there to be greeted by this rude woman
.She abruptly said WAIT THERE! She literally threw the purse at her and just glared at them from doorway and continued to watch them as they got in a cab and went round the corner.They came back and said the woman was a psychopath. Bloody cheek of her ,she had nearly ,€800 and 2 free rooms.So many nicer and cheaper places to stay

Just got back from a lovely stay. Beds were comfy. Had a good nights sleep. Central location so expect some noise from the bars ! Ear plugs were provided but didn’t need them. No issues with bathroom, very clean, shower perfect.
Mafalda was very helpful.
Would stay again.
