Refuge of Alvor- Vila da Praia

We have stayed at Villa da Praia on two previous occasions over the years and love the location and facilities. For a one bedroom apartment it is very spacious, well equipped and ideal. Paula and David were perfect hosts who met us when we arrived, showed us around the apartment and kept us informed throughout. A big thank you to you both. No hesitating in recommending as it is in an ideal location for the beach, restaurants and supermarket.

Perfect property for two with everything supplied for our stay. As usual Vila da Praia did not disappoint....pool great and comfort of apartment excellent

Excellent apartment in a great location. Paula is very attentive to yours needs, she even delivered candles when all of Portugal lost power, would highly recommend this property

Overall a really nice stay again at Vila da Praia. The bed and pillows are comfortable, we don’t use the air con as prefer to keep windows open if possible and the location of the apartment enabled this as quiet and a nice breeze into the bedroom overnight. Fantastic view from the balcony and a good canopy to use in the afternoon if it’s not too windy. The bathroom needs some attention on the grouting and the showerhead leaks but the shower is powerful and the bathroom is a good size. A mirror of any type outside of the bathroom would be a useful addition. Paula’s communication was great and we really appreciated her accommodating our early arrival.

Lovely comfortable flat with everything you need in a perfect location, near supermarket, shops, boardwalk and lovely restaurants.

The one bedroom unit is very well equipped and comfortable. The location is superb with the beach, boardwalks and cliffwalks nearby. Many fine restaurants are also within easy walking distance, many of which serve the freshest seafood from the town's fishing boats. A very warm and friendly town. Paula and David are very attentive and accommodating hosts.

clean, well equipped, tastefully decorated, roomy apartment; we particularly appreciated the easy accessibility, the large walk-in shower, the efficient internet connectivity and of course the view from the top floor balcony - special thanks to Paula for her friendly welcome and support

A beautiful well maintained spacious one bed apt overlooking the pool. Afternoon and evening sun. Apt is well kitted out with lounge sofas; dining area and air con. Complex is well maintained and there is a lift. Secure with key access it is located near to beach yet near the town.

What a lovely apartment… really homely and for four adults we felt it was spacious. Really want to thank Paula for her patience in our late night arrival. Very warm and attentive host. We hope to come back to Alvor to explore more.

Two week stay, late May - early May. Great weather, beaches, location. Alvor is a smaller, more relaxed area then some of the larger centers.
