Reviews
 20 Jun 2011 |
We stayed at the villa for 9 nights from 31 May 2011. When we arrived the owners were very welcoming & friendly & especially helpful when we locked ourselves out the first night! The villa itself was fab – very clean, modern and spacious. Although it was very well equipped, basic cleaning products etc weren't available. The local supermarket was only 5 mins away however, & had everything we needed. The kids loved the large pool & it was cleaned regularly – we did struggle to find shade around the pool. The villa was in a quiet location, but only a 10 min walk to top of strip with all amenities. The beach is lovely, but was quite a trek in the hot sun, so we stopped for ice-cream half way! The only thing which we would have found helpful would have been a folder of useful information/leaflets/maps etc for guests on arrival. We all had a fantastic holiday and would definitely recommend this villa. Response: My dear Guests! Thank you very much for writting a review of your holiday home! It is really very helpful for the future guests that don't know yet the house and the surrounding area of Albufeira. We like to offer a great service to the guests, keeping the property in good conditions and giving the assistance during the holiday, to make sure that the guests are well and happy. The facilities, activities, the distances from the places that you listed are very helpful specially if the guests are coming for the first time to Albufeira. We are providing now more information for the guests so that they find more easily the leisure activities, places of interest, facilities, transports, etc. We also recommend the guests to go to the tourist information office located in Santa Eulália at walking distance, if it is necessary more information. Thanks for your visit and for selecting Villa Solar dos Arcos as your holiday in Portugal! Be always very welcome! Kind regards! David Prudêncio |
Guestbook for Solar dos Arcos
Hi David,
We stayed at Villa Solar dos Arcos in July 2010. There were 8 of us in total - 2 families of 2 adults & 2 children. The house is lovely. 'The Strip' is a short stroll away, as is the supermarket. The Montechero Hotel is circa 5 minutes walk from the house. The weather was beautiful and the out door pool was a big hit with all but especially with the children. Most nights got quite cool, with the wind taking up at circa 6pm each evening. We had a fantastic time and hope to return again !

"Hi David,
here is our review:
On arrival to Villa Solar dos Arcos, the owners showed us around and are very plesan and helpful. The villa is in a quiet location but not too far from the local restaurants and amenieties. The villa itself was like a home from home and was very clean, well equipped and spacious. My grandparents are in their late 70's and 80's and did not find the walk to Oura too tiring and even so a taxi back to the villa only costs 3.50 euros! This villa has something for the whole family, close to the strip yet quiet enough just to chill and relax! - will definetly consider going back!

"Hi David
We had a fabulous holiday in Villa Solar dos Arcos and I would highly recommend it to all my family and friends.
The Villa was fantastic had everything we needed - it was like a home from home. It was very clean, spacious and decorated to a very high standard. The pool was beautiful and a great size and cleaned regularly.
The location of the villa is perfect as it is on a nice quiet residential road yet the amenities, restaurants and bars are just a short stroll away.

"Hi David
The villa was amazing and in a very quiet and safe area.
All the rooms are very clean, and the owner came by every few days to clean the pool and he was very helpful and friendly.
It was a 10 min walk to top of strip, with all shops and bars, Villa was just in the area behind the back of Montechoro Hotel.
I would certainly recommend this villa to anyone.
Thanks.
Amanda. Wigan, UK."
