Fantastic apartment which was fully equipped with everything you would need to enjoy your stay! Beautifully decorated inside and the pool area was fantastic! Would definitely stay here again.
We have stayed numerous times over what must be 20 years now and our daughter now brings her sons with us on holiday. The resort and apartment are amazing and the owners and agents are incredibly easy to deal with. Highly recommended
Had a great stay at this luxurious apartment. Great setting and the decor is lovely. Very user friendly once we got into on the tv. Looks out to the pool area so you can see if there are beds available in your chosen spot.
What a lovely place this is. Perfect for our family of four. Lovely spacious apartment, nice pool area, close to Vilamoura and Quarteira and within driving distance to Albufeira too. Clodagh is on hand to help with any issues that come up and made us feel so welcome. We hope to return again in the future!

We were so incredibly impressed by this property. From the moment we arrived we felt at home and relaxed. Thank you so much Clodagh! We would certainly come back.
Even though it was a terrible season for rain, we had a great time in the Algarve. The unit was exactly as described and the location couldn't have been better. Took Uber to tons of restaurants and we backed onto the golf course. We had an issue with the water heater and the owners had it fixed immediately, great service.We would definitely stay there again and highly recommend the condo.

Lovely Apartment
Our stay at your apartment during December was very enjoyable. The apartment and indeed all the apartments at Palmyra were extremely nice and very well presented including the outside pool areas and gardens, the underground parking and security gates makes this development a great choice. We have stayed at Vila Sol on many many occasions and always enjoy our time there. We always hire a car which is an essential and the golf is always good and the green fees this year were half price really excellent value. A great place to come with or without children, the restaurants in Almancil are fab. Your apartment was perfect, very clean and spacious and one of the best we have stayed in.
We really enjoyed our stay . We have had holidays at Vila Sol for the past 14 years but usually stay down at the original apartment complex closer to the shops/Oscars etc . This was our first time at Palmyras. The apartment was lovely, spacious and very clean . Great access to the pool and easy enough to get Ubers to wherever we wanted to go .
Accommodation was exactly as described and the pictures show. Clean on arrival and cleaners then came once during our stay and left fresh towels etc. Beautiful location, swimming pool right on your doorstep. About a 5 minute drive to a few lovely restaurants, a bar and a cafe at the entrance of vila sol and about a 10 minute drive into the marina. We had a rental car but there are uber taxis everywhere so a car definitely isn't essential. We had a small issue with ants in the kitchen but as long you are careful with storing food and keeping work tops clean it is easy to keep them at bay. We had a great holiday and would definitely come and stay here again.
We had a lovely weekend for a family wedding. 3 generations the apartment is perfect with the downstairs bedroom which ensures everyone had space. Also very close to pool made everything very easy.
Has to be one of the best apartments we've ever stayed in! Set in beautiful gardens, a stone's throw from a lovely pool, it is perfect. The pool is great for kids and adults alike with a very gradual shallow end for little ones and a deeper end for more able swimmers. The apartment itself is extremely well equipped and has lovely decor. It has A/C throughout and is very spacious. There is a lovely big bedroom downstairs as well as 2 on the ground floor. Underground parking is an added bonus. If you don't hire a car then an Uber to the marina costs around €5 each way. We did hire a car and got it considerable cheaper through Doyouspain.
Clodagh gave us really good communication. I cannot recommend highly enough!
We will definitely be booking this apartment when we visit Portugal again. 5*****
Here's some places you may wish to visit: Aqushow, which is just around the corner. We got out tickets for €23 by searching for a discount code. Fantastic water park. Take a picnic to save money! Zoomarine is a great day out. Don't miss the pirate show! Tickets online were €31 but you can do a second day for €10. Food at the park was, pretty reasonable. If you fancy something different, head down to Arthur's watersports at Vale do Lobo and hire a pedalo for €20 for 30 minutes on the lake. There's a lovely board walk through an area of natural beauty with a bridge that takes you over the dunes onto the beach. Here there's a little snack place where you can grab a drink, sandwich, ice cream. There's also a mini golf nearby called Par Tee golf where for €13 you can have a round of golf and a drink. The mini golf in Villamora is also brilliant. It has 2 18 hole courses. For a great cheap meal or takeaway, try the chicken shack in Quarteira, near Lidl. You'll get a whole spit roast chicken and chips for around €5 (takeaway).
Wonderful home and environment for a peaceful stay.
Everything was as it was described. Ownership extremely cooperative and available, great environment, perfect vacation home.
Although the location is not right on the seaside, and you need the car to do whatever you need, it only takes a few minutes drive for anything you may want or need doing. Very good location in center of the Algarve.
Very safe, too.
