Lovely small boutique hotel. Close to town and a balcony overlooking town and ocean. Baskets of food brought to you for breakfast we ate on the balcony. Walk to the beautiful 7 hanging valleys trail. Just perfect!

Very comfortable hotel with beautiful manicured grounds. Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable and helpful. Breakfast buffet was superb. Only problem was a lack of local restaurants in easy walking distance, encouraging visitors to visit the resort restaurants which were mediocre and expensive.

Listen, they are not going to be around a lot. No one at the desk when you arrive and not throughout the night. Its more a bed and breakfast. Front door is loud, you hear it when you sleep and other guests come and go.
Those are the draw backs
The staff, Anna especially is lovely.
They did their best with redoing the place and conveniently located. Is it the best experience ever? No. But clean safe and close to beach and good breakfast

This was a nice stay. Virgil, an owner greeted us, and answered all our questions. The rooms were quiet, and clean, and comfortable. We liked being away from the many people that are down around the main village. Virgil recommend the restaurant about 100 meters up the road, and we went two nights in a row. Great food and atmosphere.

Breakfast had such a great variety and everything was delicious! The set up of the b&b were great and it was a very clean location. Staff was wonderful and extremely nice and accommodating. The only thing is that the room did get quite humid/moist, but if you keep the window opens it helps.
We would absolutely stay there again!

Nice property. Great rooms. Beautiful view, if you get a beach/water view room. We had reserved a non-water view. Asked for upgrade at check in. Got the upgrade but had to pay more money, thought that was a perk with Expedia VIP, but wasn't. Nice bar area with good views and decent food. The upscale restaurant was good, but pricy. No restaurants next to hotels for food options. 15
Min walk or very short drive is the local village was is very tourist oriented and has lots of restaurants.

this is the 5th time that we stayed at Vilalara...this says something. We come here for the fantastic Thalasso spa and its great staff (multi lingual and so friendly), the most beautiful settings, the most unique gardens, the six pools, the direct access to their wonderful beach and also the location (easy to to reach). We spent a happy sojourn of 12 days
and are ready to come back next year. Compared to ours previous experiences when Accor managed the place we had the feeling that there is...

Amazing experience! The location is great, just a 5-minute walk to the beach. The staff is friendly, our room was spacious and clean, and the food is delicious. 10/10

This was one of our favorite places that we stayed in Portugal. Placid Village was located in a quiet area, but only a 15 minute walk to the restaurants and beaches in town. Going back to the hotel was an uphill walk, but not too bad if you are in decent shape. In the evening we did Uber back. Did not cost much at all to Uber. We loved our rooms with a bath and a half, plus, a washing machine. The kitchen was great, but our favorite was the beautiful pool area. So quiet and enjoyable. We spent...

What a wonderful quiet hidden resort on top of the beautiful cliffs of the Algarve region in Portugal. We took the train from Lisbon to Tunes, where the resort arranged a taxi to pick us up. Its about a 20-30 minute drive to the resort. Wear your seat belt, taxi drivers do not drive slow.
We had a sea view suite with a kitchen that was very reasonably priced, comfortable, clean and charming. The resort was designed to have a lower impact on the environment and local wild life. The overall...

PLUSES: two good-sized pools, wonderful breakfast, clean rooms with comfortable beds, game room
COULD USE IMPROVEMENT: 1. we paid for breakfast but my teenage son preferred to sleep in. I asked if I could prepare a small plate to bring to him and was told "no".
Not even a yogurt and piece of fruit! 2. we had to purchase a $10 towel to use at the pool
NOTE: the market near the front office sells drinks (beer, soda) at only ~$1 each. The bar sells the same drinks at 4x the cost. We learned to...

Honestly our favorite hotel of our honeymoon! They have an excellent location, on-site parking and is walking distance to everything you need. Staff were friendly, breakfast is amazing and the pool (with bar) was to die for. Would love the opportunity to stay here again!

Such a nice surprise. Check-in staff was amazing, property was spread out and nicely maintained. Rooms are very spacious and clean. Was a nice walk to town and great hike along the coast of the property to see the cliffs and beaches below.
