Exclusive Palmyra development, 2 bed 2 bathroom ground floor apartment, Vila Sol

Likes: well proportioned apartment. Clean and well decorated with several personal touches which made the property attractive. Decent sized kitchen with all of the appropriate appliances and plenty of plates, glasses, cutlery et cetera. Good location and easy access to the Villamoura. Helpful folder with advice on numerous places to go. Trouble-free communication with owner. Close proximity to communal swimming pool. Dislikes: the apartment seems to be in the first, or early phases of the development. All of the blocks in this area look a little frayed at the edges, and in need of refreshment. At the time of our visit, numerous apartments were being repaired/updated and we were unfortunate enough to have the apartment next to ours having a major refurbishment so had three days of constant whining from an elective sander, plus a full day of an overwhelming smell of paint both of which seriously affected our enjoyment of the property. Although the kitchen is well equipped, there is insufficient space to store groceries, even for us as a party of two. Finding somewhere to stow your purchases if you are a family of four would be difficult.

It was a great place to stay.

Everything about this spacious, beautifully furnished and equipped property was a delight. Even with blustery weather and ridiculous amounts of rain, the apartment made it a pleasant, comfortable visit. Exactly as advertised, well located close to some fun places to eat and drink and central to many parts of the Algarve we wanted to visit by car. Would book it again in a heartbeat.

This is a fabulous ground floor apartment in one of the nicest complexes we have ever stayed in. Beautifully decorated and really comfortable apartment, with extremely comfortable beds and is the perfect place for a family of 4. The beds are better than any you will find in 5* hotels imo. The kitchen is very well equipped whilst outside you have a fabulous Weber BBQ. Jude is such a great host was super helpful and the communication / accessibility with Jude was excellent. We hope to return to this same apartment next year, and I have no hesitation in unequivocally endorsing this property and host with a 10/10 scoring ,and we would highly recommend this lovely apartment to anyone interested in staying in this area.

From booking Jude was amazing answering all of my questions so quickly! I can be quite picky and like the best I can get within our budget and it’s was honestly great. The villa was so clean and looked even better than the pics, the outdoor area to the back was right near the pool and great for the bbqs we had. The pool area and gardens were beautiful and kept so nice. We are thinking of returning next year it was perfect for our family with kids age 10 and 8. Thank you to Jude who was fantastic with communication

The condo was very clean, comfortable, spacious and had everything we required. The grounds were beautiful and very well maintained. The Vilamoura area in general, was lovely. Judith was easy to deal with and very quick to respond.

This unit is perfect. Clean comfortable great access to the pool area and to the Vila Sol community. Would stay here again anytime. Check in and communication with the owner was perfect. Loved this unit!!!

We have absolutely no hesitance in providing a glowing 5 star review for our stay in this apartment on Palmyra, in Vila Sol. We've stayed at a number of different properties here as it is a very quiet, low density luxury development which is extremely well maintained with stunning mature gardens and pool area. The apartment is nicely decorated, very clean and well maintained, furnished with high quality furnishings and up to date tech for those who also work on holiday like I did. The patio doors open onto a nicely manicured grassed area which is very private and only a very short walk to the pool area. The owner is very helpful and extremely responsive, a great communicator who answered within an hour of emailing. Excellent all round, thank you we will be back!

Good communication with owner - thoroughly recommend

We are frequent visitors to Portugal and have stayed at a variety of apartments and hotels, usually 5*. Our whole experience from the booking process to our stay and departure was excellent. We can't recommend this apartment more highly, it is even better than the pictures! Everything has been thought of, lots of finishing touches and it is clear that a lot of thought and attention to detail has gone into the whole letting of this beautiful apartment. The complex is also of a very high standard, so tranquil, well kept and secure. The landscaping and gardens are most impressive and the greenest we've stayed at in Portugal. We would not hesitate to recommend this property and look forward to future stays here. Thank you so much Jude for sharing your little piece of heaven and for being so helpful , it was an absolute pleasure dealing with you. Charlotte

Thank you Jude for a really relaxing stay, nothing was too much. I have stayed in Vilamoura several times and this was the most beautiful villa, in a beautiful setting. The villa was fully equipped with everything you would need. Will be coming back.

This tastefully decorated and really comfortable apartment was perfect for our family of 4. The beds and bedding in particular were the best we’ve experienced in a holiday let. The kitchen was really well equipped which allowed us to prepare meals easily and meant we didn’t have to eat out every day. Our host was super helpful and communication was excellent. We hope to return soon and would recommend this lovely apartment to anyone looking in this area.
