The total integration of beauty as well in nature as in architecture, the privacy, and the lovely service made it a kind of a dream!
NetherlandsI travel a lot and i could say this property is almost into perfection place to spend your vacation..They have a very nice and helpfull staffs also..
SwitzerlandAll very clean , spacious rooms , very good service . Nice Spa Amazing therapists
United States of AmericaCannot say enough about the amazing staff, they were incredibly warm, welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed our meals overlooking the ocean and taking walks through the beautiful grounds. The location is outstanding, and we took a day trip to explore the local beaches and towns. A truly perfect home for our honeymoon!
United States of AmericaOur stay at the Vilalara was first rate. Although not inexpensive, given the location and amenities, this is a value. Breakfast each day overlooking the Atlantic was excellent. Beach was clean and organized. Three pool options. We did not eat dinner at the resort; we choose to sample the dining options around the area, all of whom where very good to excellent. Several Michelin rated options to choose. Fresh fish each day. The locals are proud of their wines and it shows. Best to sample wines from Portugal, as there are many choices. A couple of things to note- if you have limited abilities for walking, this may not be your choice. 120+ steps from the beach to the main level, then a continuing climb to the suites. Also, water temperatures were cool during our stay(late Sept/early Oct)19C/67F. Pools were 22C/72F. Other than those two issues, I suggest you go to the Algarve, and this resort in particular.
