It seemed like every time we found something that we loved about the place, something would happen that ruined it. It's not a horrible place, but with some minor adjustments it could be much better. I'll start with the bad: the bed was HARD. I woke up every morning feeling like I slept on the floor. I couldn't wait to... More

My wife and I and our 5 year old have been to this hotel twice now. Returning because we knew the apartments were spacious, clean with great facilities including dishwasher! The first time we went we had our then teenagers with us and the walk at night for a meal down the 'strip' was quite amusing, however, the further down... More

My boyfriend and I went for a week in October. I have stayed at the hotel about 9 times in total and it has always been brilliant. The studio we stayed in was very large with a separate kitchen and very clean. The apartments are cleaned and the towels replaced daily. The pool area never got busy as it was... More

Myself and my partner booked a last minute xmas break at the Vila Petra and thoroughly enjoyed it. We were fortunate enough to get a one bedroomed apartment which had a large lounge/dining room, separate kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. The apartment was spacious and very clean, although the furnishings were perhaps a little basic. However, the kitchen was extremely well... More

I visited this hotel a few months ago and stayed in one of the apartments with my boyfriend. The kitchen was excellently stocked with everything that you could possibly need. As we were staying for 2 weeks, being able to cook food on various nights proved very cost effective. The whole apartment was very clean with comfortable beds. The surrounding... More

We have just returned from a fantastic week at the Vila Petra. Travelling with two children (2 and 4) we decided to opt for the two bedroon apartment - it was large, clean and extremelyl well appointed. Too often you stay in a self catering apartment that offers no catering facilities - this wasn't true here. Hob, oven and microwave... More

We stayed here for a week in a one bedroom apartment. The apartment itself was a great size - bedroom and huge lounge / dining area, separate kitchen and lovely balcony overlooking the pool. As per other reviews it was spotlessly clean with clean towels provided every day. In terms of location, it was about a 5minute walk to the... More

Just returned after a weeks holiday. Stayed in a one bedroom apartment and were amazed at the size. Everything is spotless with a fantastic kitchen with all the amenities required. We had a lovely big balcony with the sun all day facing the pool. Lovely clean outdoor pool and had no problem getting a sunbed. Really enjoyed the indoor pool... More

We walked passed the Vila Petra almost every day during our stay in Albufeira. It appealed to us. One particular day we called in at there Mini-Supermarket. The member of staff was very friendly and the shop had in stock everything that we needed. We took a sneak peek at the hotel from inside and we liked what we saw.... More
