Colina Da Lapa & Villas

“In the middle of no where but we loved it.”

We got a deal on this place so decided to take the gamble and go. We were not disappointed. We loved it. The place is in the middle of no where but that didn't bother us.

We got a deal on this place so decided to take the gamble and go. We were not disappointed. We loved it. The place is in the middle of no where but that didn't bother us. There is a minibus service early morning and late afternoon but to be honest Uber is only 7 euros into the town. Fab pool area that wasn't crowded and loved the pool bar and eatery. The villa was up 3 flights of stairs but again that didn't bother us because the villa was massive and clean. The staff are also very nice and helpful. There are 2 or 3 bars a half a mile away and walking on an evening was a pleasure. We also walked to the beach which takes a good 30 minutes but we enjoyed the walk. There is a fantastic restaurant opposite the site gates and a fantastic restaurant on the beach, but beware, they are very expensive. You will struggle to keep a meal for 2 under 150 euros in either of them. The 2 or 3 bars nearby mainly do pizza and a pizza is circa 15 euros. This isolation of this place won't be for everyone, but we loved it and will be back.

“Rude staff and mouldy bathroom”

Just came back after a 4 day stay at this place, I had booked breakfast included. Well, I wish I never bothered. Breakfast: Stale bread, 4 slice of watermelon that isn't covered, Dry pastrys and hard cheese and smelly ham. And the most miserable rude owner I've ever come across my first day i as… more

Just came back after a 4 day stay at this place, I had booked breakfast included. Well, I wish I never bothered. Breakfast: Stale bread, 4 slice of watermelon that isn't covered, Dry pastrys and hard cheese and smelly ham. And the most miserable rude owner I've ever come across my first day i asked, "Do you make eggs he replied in the most loud voice "No" I said anything else "this is all you get" I complained to reception and was told that's not part of hotel but yet again your selling breakfast as part of the package. Villa is okay needs serious updating the beds are horrible and uncomfortable the bathroom tub was dirty look like oil marks and mouldy, showercurtain is 🤢the housekeeping never came once to empty bins so we had to throw it ourselves. Area around is beautiful, but that's about it. I would come back here in a hurry only because the food and cleanliness of this place. The only polite person I came across was carolina at reception that's it. They take card at reception for any tours has to be cash. Atleast tea and coffer and water should be provided. I wouldn't recommend this place

“Left items “not found””

I stayed in one of the 4 bedroom villas with my father, step mum, husband and two children 2.5 years old and 7 months. Pool was dirty on arrival and the net had a huge hole in it so unable to properly clear out the bugs and leaves. We asked for a replacement which was given to us within the hour. S… more

I stayed in one of the 4 bedroom villas with my father, step mum, husband and two children 2.5 years old and 7 months. Pool was dirty on arrival and the net had a huge hole in it so unable to properly clear out the bugs and leaves. We asked for a replacement which was given to us within the hour. Staff are very friendly and always happy to help, we found various items in the villa didn’t work so we did have to keep contacting reception. Hire car would be required as nothing within walking distance. We had a lovely week but sadly upon leaving we left a few items behind in a panic to get to the airport and since contacting the reception within 24 hours of leaving they have been unable to locate said items even though I knew exactly where they were left one of which was a £200 Hugo boss jacket that was a birthday present to my husband. This has sadly tainted the experience for us as the jacket has clearly been taken and kept.
