Colina da Lapa & Villas

Buena ubicación cerca de las playas y ciudades bonitas Alojamiento escaso de material pero suficiente Cómodo para el viaje

Gostei e recomendo. Bom para quem tem crianças

Great villas, sleeps 9 comfortably, great pool and outdoor space. Pool well maintained and villa very clean, has everything you need. The jacuzzi was brilliant and lights at night were great. Did have so noisy neighbours thou, something they need to be more strict about.

Leaveing to day. After 10 days stay. Apparment 15 was fab big very clan. Staff amazing. As it was January it was very quite. But we loved it. Weather was great up till this morning rain came in. Didnt have a car but taxi cheap. Hopeing to be back really soon.

My husband and I have just returned from a weeks holiday here at Colina de Lapa, and there are positives and negatives to staying here. We enjoyed the space in the apartment as bigger than what you’d get in a hotel. But if you’re looking for a beach holiday, or a lively/tourist spot with shops, bars, restaurants and souvenir shops, then I’d say this isn’t the place for you, or you need a car to get out and about! We said we wouldn’t return here as we like to be nearer the beach. Positives first The 1 bed apartment has benefits of a full kitchen inc kettle, washing machine, microwave, hob, oven, fridge freezer, TV, living room and dining table, it’s a great space for a small family and home from home really. Beds were firm and we slept great! Housekeeping came in every day apart from Sunday, they made/changed the beds, we had clean towels daily, they emptied bins and did a little clean round. It’s a quiet and peaceful area with beautiful gardens and pool. We didn’t use the pool so can’t comment but it looked nice. There’s a shuttle bus that takes you to Carvoeire. We didn’t use this as we had a car, so not sure of the exact details but I believe it drops you off at 11am and picks you up at 4pm. Evening meals were nice but limited. Tennis courts and basketball court I think Children’s play area Negatives You need a car to get out and about as it’s quite far away from any town. It’s definitely not suited to anyone with mobility issues. There is a bit of a hill from the restaurant area, to the reception area, (where you get the shuttle) and there are steps round the complex. Takes over 30 minutes to walk to nearest beach, going down is ok but coming up (it’s all uphill) is another story! Unless you get a taxi or use the shuttle to go to the beach in carvoeiro The restaurant is limited, not sure if it’s because we went out of season (2nd week in an October.) We opted for half board (which was more expensive than we’d paid in other hotels) the breakfast was continental, cold meats, cereal, pastries, yoghurts, fruit, no eggs or hot food though. The HB evening meal option was a choice of 2 dishes (not enough variety) and we were offered the same food a few times. It did taste nice what we had though but needs more veg/salad options. Others who were eating here and not HB said they didn’t have all that was on the menu either. But could be a seasonal thing. Apartment is dated, needs modernizing. We also had ants in the bathroom, not mega amounts but about 6-12 and then we saw 1 climbing up the wardrobe in the bedroom, so panicked in case they crept in the bed! There was a subtle musty/damp smell In our apartment, more so in the bedroom. You got used to it when in the apartment, only noticing when you’d been out and come back in. No shops on site, (not even for basics) nearest one is a 10-15 minute walk away which isn’t far unless you’ve got mobility issues. No gym. The complex has apartments and villas with pools, whic

Me and my partner have just come back from a 7 night stay at Colina da Lapa apartments. Firstly I don’t understand some of these reviews, we had the best time here, it is a lovely quiet part of Portugal, our rooms were cleaned every day apart from a Sunday . It was like staying home from home, you had everything you needed, even had a washing machine which really takes the stress off of coming home this time of the year to get all your washing done! The beds are firm but very comfortable, I suffer with a bad back and not once did I wake up feeling sore. We hired a car for 3 days as we wanted to explore and I would highly recommend doing this, everything was sorted out by reception so we didn’t have the hassle of sorting it ourselves. Pool was lovely and clean, Only ate once in the little restaurant and it was ok for what we wanted Shops are quite a distance which was handy having the hire car . WiFi worked perfectly in our apartment. Would definitely return to Colina Da Lapa
