Villa was huge and set on lovely grounds in a good location, if you drive. Rooms were all clean. Bbq area was great. Facilities were dated, plug sockets and kitchen equipment could be modernised. Private Pool area was lovely, but it was not cleaned by staff once while we were there for 5 days and by the end it was green on the steps and the edges with the same little bugs floating around for 3 days. That aside, I would stay there again but request the pool be cleaned more regularly.

Poor internet service
I loved the property it was dated but lovingly cared for. The grounds were beautiful. My only problem was the fact that the internet and TV service went down on Saturday morning and nothing was done to restore service (despite our complaints) until Monday morning

Beautiful complex, well kept grounds, villa dated in some areas such as the kitchen. Needed to call out maintenance several times as electrics tripped, pool step broken, pool lights broken. Staff in the restaurant were lovely, very helpful, polite and accommodating.

The staff were great and the area was well kept. The apartment was clean and very well stocked with everything you could need for self catering, in fact it was amazing. Very spacious accommodation indeed. The only thing was the walls were paper thin. You could hear the people next door talking and the music from below. Maybe we just had loud neighbours but it did spoil our stay somewhat.

We liked area around- pools area, playground for kids, however in April water seems to be still very cold for swiming, so maybe to think on heated pool (at least for kids) installation.
Minuses-if you want to use kitchen or washing machine you need to buy all detergents or oil for cooking, salt, pepper yourself, which is not very convinient and reasonable in case of foreign travellers staying for just couple of nights.

This was our second time to the villas and the space is wonderful, the pool area is great but everything needs an update, the kitchen appliances are old and tired. The area around the private pool now has lots of great foliage but this brings bugs and everyday there where around 100 woodlouse in the pool, that just walk off the edge. It didn’t ruin the experience but they need a pool suction equipment to make this better.
As I say it was our second time but I’m not sure we will be back.

Overall was a nice stay at Colina Da Lapa Villas. There was a few issues with the booking process that could have been handled better, we was travelling with an 11 month old and therefore needed a highchair and cot but was being passed back and forth between booking agent and the villa itself to confirm availability on this, was a bit stressful trying to sort this, and only got final confirmation a few days before our travel date. Villa was a good size, are quite dated now on the inside and the pool had quite a lot of chemicals in meaning our eyes really struggled after trying to have a swim in them and that limited how much we actually used the pool. Complex itself stated had a supermarket on it but thats now closed down and nearest one was a 10 minute walk along a busy road, not ideal start when just trying to get basics. Villa also doesn't have any kitchen basics in, salt, pepper, cooking oils etc so we had to get all this and leave behind what we didn't use. Overall was a nice week away but a few things to note on the villas. Try to avoid a villa next to the busy road as well as youll be listening to traffic all day whilst trying to relax.

Iets verouderd appartement, maar zeer ruim en schoon. Enige nadeel zijn de bedden (bijzonder hard).
Medewerkers bij complex erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Goed bereikbaar (met huurauto) en gratis parkeren. Fijne plek om te verblijven.

Das Haus war wirklich groß, der Pool sauber und gepflegt.
Das Abendbrot war wirklich sehr lecker und frisch zubereitet.
Die Auswahl beim Frühstück war etwas dürftig.
Evtl. auch der Reisezeit geschuldet, in der nicht viel los war.
