Villas d'Agua
My husband and I stayed here the first week of August, 2011. We flew from Knock with Ryanair and took the Resorthoppa to the apartment. We booked the apartment with Low cost holidays at a cost of €1,557.12 for 2 people. It was so quiet and peaceful. We were in villa No 10 which is triplex with sea view. The kitchen was well equipped with fridge & freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and full size cooker. There was excellent air conditioning and free villa safe. Each villa has its own parking space. We did not have a car and we didn't need one because everyplace was within walking distance. Villa d'Agua has two bars (one not open & no entertainment) and the "a la carte" and children's menu in the Tangerinne restaurant with a sea view. There is free internet near reception and you can borrow books and leave the ones you don't want. There is a large freeform pool which is shallow around the edge (not suitable for diving) and sun loungers - no problem getting vacant ones. Free pool/beach towels are supplied. Also children's playground. The Spa is very nice with outdoor message with a view of the pine trees and ocean at a cost of €69 for 50 minutes.

Reception and security staff were very helpful. Restaurant and bar staff very friendly. We enjoyed chatting to Pedro Nascimento at the bar and if you are Irish he can speak the "cupla focal".

The nicest beach is a 5 minutes' walk to the left with a very nice restaurant da Julia. Another beach but much busier is 5 minutes walk to the right. We got lovely weather 35˚C. There is a small supermarket 2 minutes walk and two larger ones within 10 minutes. There are a few nice restaurants within walking distance which include Tavertinos and O Duarte. If you are not on a budget Passaro Atul restaurant is very nice (there are over 100 steps to walk back up).

The bus to Albufeira can be got on the main road (10 minutes walk) at a cost of €2.10. A taxi cost €7.50. The Market is on Tuesday in Albufeira.

We absolutely loved Villas D'Agua. This was our second time to this area and we will be back.

“Very good rooms, exceptionally friendly staff”

Stayed for a week in two bedroomed apartment.
Were surprised and pleased to find it had two full bathrooms, so no need to queue for bath /shower. Kitchen well equipped, freezer, fridge, dishwasher, full size cooker.
All rooms air conditioned, Great views of the sea.
Kept very clean and tidy by maids.
Staff very helpful and friendly, including security who we had to get to open our room late one night.
pool large and clean, could do with a few more sun longers and parasols, but better than most.
Two nice beaches in easy walking distance, and plenty of bars and restaurants.
Only five minutes to the large intermarche supermarket, once you find the short cuts.
Wireless internet, and a computer available at reception, wireless covers lounge, restraunt and pool area

We stayed here for as part of a wedding party . this place is gorgeous . fantastic rooms , gorgeous pool area and a lovely spa, which we used as we had a few days rain , although luckily glorious on the wedding day.
We flew over at different times on various aircrafts and met up in the evening times. We had our ttransfer arranged by the bride and i would like to thank the company yellowfishtransfers ,com as they were great we must of confused them at times as all the days and arrival times were messy we had departure times as arrival times and wrong times for pick up our fault completly but everytime we messed up they arranged an alternative for us and didnt get upset with us once. thank you guys i hope you read this review....

The wedding was in a villa inland with a fantastic spread arranged by a local wedding planner it was very well done. We had a pig roast which was fantastic idea out by the pool.
Villas do Aqua is a great place to stay i just wish we had more time ther we only had 4 days , i hope to return..

“Perfect!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2009

people found this review helpful

I absolutely loved Villas D'Agua. It was so quiet and peaceful and exactly like the pictures!!!! Our apartment was so clean and quiet too.
It was so close and relaxing to walk to the restaurants nearby and we always had an amazing meal in Portugal.
The pool was always busy so it was sometimes impossible to find a spot so if you are travelling with kids, you might have to go early in the morning to save chairs (even though it's not allowed).
I did not go to the spa but it looked like it would be relaxing.
I would definitely return if I was to return to Portugal. In fact, we went to Spain after Portugal and it was very disappointing because Portugal was near perfect and our food/accomdations in Spain - not so much.
