Vila da Praia (apartment)

Home description

This holiday apartment is set in a recently completed private complex, with a pleasant garden and 2 swimming pools; one for adults and one for children. This bright, daylight filled, ground floor apartment is located near the beach and the centre of the village of Alvor, one of the most beautiful and quiet areas in the Algarve.
Alvor is a fishing village located 5 km west of Portimão. The village itself is a maze of cobbled streets and a 16th-century parish church with a fine Manueline portal featuring a round arch and abstract floral motifs. As well as Alvor beach itself, there are some lovely golden stretches of sand towards Portimão, most notably the small cove of Praia dos Três Irmãos with its magnificent red cliffs. Further east are the deserted caves and grottoes at João de Areus and the quiet, secluded beach of Praia do Vau nearby. Further east, the bustling fishing port of Portimão has many good restaurants and plenty of night-life.

Alvor / Vila da Praia area

Alvor is a fishing village located 5 km west of Portimão, it became an important port during the time of the Moorish occupation. It once had its own castle, which was destroyed by the earthquake on 1 November, 1755. Originally built by the Carthaginians in 436 AD, it was attacked and plundered by the Christian Crusaders in 1189, at the same time as the larger settlements of Silves and Portimão were taken.

Guestbook for Vila da Praia

Dear Paulo, As this was our first family holiday to book on the internet and with holidaylettings we were a bit anxious as to the outcome. But I have to say we need not have worried. The apartment was spotless, spacious and exacltly as it looked in the photos. When your parents pulled back the curtains to reveal the patio area and view of the pool we knew we were in for the perfect holiday! We would like to express our thanks to your
parents for their welcome and courtesy. It was a wonderful holiday and we hope to return in the near future. The Hickey Family, Co Wicklow, Ireland (SEPT 2008)

Paulo, thank you for the use of your apartment, as with all of the comments the location was very good, and apartment very clean. We were very lucky as this was our first visit to Alvor and we hope to return soon. Any queries were dealt with very quickly and efficiently. Beaches are excellent and its worth making the short walk to the cove beaches towards the rocks as these are some of the best we have ever come across, as long as you dont mind getting your feet wet if the tide comes in. Thanks from myself, Alison and the boys great family holiday. Lee Tolley, Wombourne, West Mids, England (21SEP07)

We love Alvor, this was our 5th visit but this apartment has suited us the best.It is very central for the beach, the harbour and the town. It was comfortable for 6 people and the complex is quiet. The patio and pool area were great for our grandchildren. I would recommend Sul Travel for airport transfers. We are sure to repeat this holiday and we would strongly recommend this family-owned apartment. Linda Parkins, Preston, Lancashire (03JUL07)

What can i say. Paulo, you and your parents were absolutely fantastic. The apartment is superbly situated for beach and alvor centre. Everything was spotlessly clean. Really enjoyed our stay and will be recommending to friends and family. Thank You. mike sankey, liverpool, uk (21JUN07)

We had a lovely break away, your apartment is lovely and in a fantastic location. Will recommend to friends & family, and we are already thinking about dates to return! Thank you. Claire MacBeth, Norwich (01JUN07)

Great location, even in January there was so much to do in Alvor. The apartment was well equipped and very clean. Only regret was that it wasn't warm enough to take advantage of that lovely swimming pool. Thanks to Paulo and his parents for a great holiday. David Russell, Wilmington, Kent (30JAN07)
