Arrived home after spending 10 days here, what a great find! The resort complex is around 20 minutes from FAO and really very easy to access in a hire car. The check-in process was smooth and Jo provided everything I needed well in advance of our arrival.The apartment is spacious, with 2 comfortable twin bedrooms and 1 well-proportioned master bedroom (with ensuite). The kitchen is a decent size and well-equipped with lots of thoughtful extras (potato peeler...juicer etc). The living area is very comfortable and equally well-equppied with a mini hi-fi, decent internet connection, smart TV and a great balcony overlooking the garden area.The resort is less than 10 minutes from the marina and there's plenty on-site to keep you entertained: several great pools (some heated) and multiple places to eat including a really great restaurant.There's a great water park a couple of minutes away by car and a seemingly endless supply of fantastic restaurants right on your doorstep.No complaints, 10/10. A fabulous holiday.
My family and friends had the most wonderful time here at the Vila Sol Resort, we have stayed at the resort once before but in a different apartment. I have to say this one ticked all the boxes with regards space, cleanliness and location. We hope to book again very soon. Thank you Jo. X
The area itâs very quiet but central (by car).
The flat itâs large and well equipped, it was very clean and Jo was always available and friendly.
Weâd a great family and friends week, and totally recommended property
Jo was great, loads of information, very responsive to any questions and super helpful. Apartment was exactly as listed, would definitely stay here again
Amazing time had by all. This is our second visit to Joâs apartment and, hopefully, not the last! We love Vila Sol, plenty to do and great places to eat within a few miles away. Cannot recommend enough.
We had a wonderful stay at this apartment, we traveled over for my sons wedding and stayed for a week. The apartment is in a good location, quite area, but within walking distance of restaurants and bars. It is very well kept inside and out, very clean and in good order. The interior is very spacious and has everything that you would need for your holiday. I would definitely recommend.
Clean, spacious apartment in a gorgeous secure complex. Great for families, with a number of pools and a big grassy area for them to run around in. This was our second stay in this apartment and it was every bit as good as the first. There are a few great cafes and restaurants in walking distance but would recommend a car if staying here. That said, one family we spoke to managed just fine with Uber/Taxis to get around. I guess it depends on how far you want to venture or if you want to take day trips anywhere.
What a wonderful place to spend time with the grands! Well equipped apartment with everything we needed. Grocery store is a bit of a hike away but thanks to Uber we were able to get around easily. Car recommended. Property manager was quick to reply with any questions and was very accomodating with our late check out request. Thank you Jo.
Overall super tevreden over ons verblijf. Het appartement is van alle gemakken voorzien waaronder 3 slaapkamers, 2 badkamers en een ruime keuken. Het appartement is zeer ruim, ook als je even een moment voor jezelf wil. Het balkon is zeer ruim met een zitje en twee ligbedden.
Het appartement ligt op een groot complex met een gigantische tuin, 3 zwembaden, 2 kinderbaden en een bubbelbad. De tuin wordt goed onderhouden en is rondom afgesloten met een hek. Toegang tot de tuin is middels een tag te verkrijgen. Twee tags liggen in het appartement. Er rijdt ook veel beveiliging rond, dit geeft een veilig gevoel. Midden in de tuin zit een poolbar en een toilet. Beide goed onderhouden. Prijzen poolbar iets hoger dan gemiddeld maar voedsel en drinken van voldoende kwaliteit.
Voor het appartement en de omgeving hebben wij een auto gehuurd. Het is te ver van Vilamoura en Quarteira om te lopen. Uber is ook een optie hoorde ik van mensen bij het zwembad. Wij vonden de huurauto zeer prettig zodat we naar de supermarkt of het strand konden. Parkeren is zeer eenvoudig voor het appartement, er is altijd ruimte.
In de straat heb je de nodige etens- en ontbijt gelegenheden. De kwaliteit is zeer goed en het is ook af te halen als je thuis wil eten.
De communicatie met Jo Matthews was uitstekend. Mijn dochter had een tafel kapot gemaakt en dit was spoedig en prettig afgehandeld. Dank hiervoor.
Al met al louter positief over dit appartement, het complex en de omgeving.
Jo is a wonderful , helpful host and her property reflects that. The apartment is large with all home comforts and very clean. There is everything on site that you need , a fantastic bistro ,a cafe , Oscars Bar and a small shop to name but a few... we stayed by one of the pools on a couple of days and were pleasantly surprised that the guy from the pool bar took the trouble to come over and ask if we'd like a drink . All in all a very relaxing pleasant stay and in a great location to explore other parts of Portugal
This property is great, it has all facilities you can possibly need. The owner engaged with us through the whole process. If you like Vila sol and Vilamoura then you will love this property as itâs absolutely spotless and ideally situated on the complex.
Had a fabulous break at this lovely apartment in the beautiful Vila Sol village. Joâs apartment provides everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Jo Responds very quickly to any to any requests you may have.
Only bit of advice I would give is to go to Pingo Doce supermarket ( 3 euros in a Uber)for groceries as the small shop down the hill donât display any prices because they donât want you to see they are usually treble the normal prices.
We had a great stay here. The apartment is very spacious and has everything you need. The resort complex is lovely too. Plently of space around all the pools and never too crowded. Theres a small grocery store nearby, as well as a couple of excellent cafes, restaurants and a bar. You definately need a car to make the most of the area though. Vilamoura and a number of fantastic beaches are only a short drive away.
Couldnât fault the process from start to finish, lovely spacious apartment that more than met our needs, central to the local bistros on the Vil a Sol complex perfect for those wanting a relaxing holiday, golfing holiday or a central location to explore the beautiful places of the Algarve if you hire rental cars, all in all highly recommend this apartment hire, the owner was great with introductions and advice leading up to our holiday and Kevin from the management company met us to show us the apartment layout Thank You to All
We all had a fab time, the apartment is beautiful and spacious only criticism is that there wasnât enough towels but thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this apartment to anyone.
We had been taking holidays in the Algarve for many years before deciding it was time to invest in a holiday home of our own. That was over 15 years ago and we still come here as often as we can and now bring our grand children who absolutely love it.
The Algarve with it's idyllic dry climate and blue flag beaches is our favourite holiday destination. We chose Vila Sol because it's a beautiful self contained resort a short drive from Faro airport. It's the perfect place to relax and unwind. If you are feeling energetic there are numerous recreational activities available including golf, tennis, horse riding, wind surfing, deep sea fishing and water skiing. Nearby Vilamoura has a vibrant night life and has numerous restaurants, clubs and a Casino.
Being end of terrace our apartment has extra windows providing lots of natural light. The south east facing balcony also wraps around the apartment catching the sun all day. We employ a local company to manage the property which means help is on hand if required.
