Agree with most of what's been said before. Unfortunately we picked the Portuguese kids' holiday season and, whilst it did not spoil the holiday, we had far too many youngsters in the pool for our liking - they don't know how to do 'quiet', bless 'em. That to one side, the apartment was more than comfortable, the maid service excellent... More

We had a week here in July and really enjoyed the hotel. The apartment was very clean and very big it had two adult pools and a small childrens pool. Their are lots of nice resturants in walking distance. The beach is quite far away (took us 30 mins or so, but we had a three year old walking and... More

If you want a break that has good restaurants in easy walking and local bars without the hedonism of albuferia strip, then this is a really good choice. Yes, the beach is more than a good walk away and albuferia is a 10 euro taxi ride, but on the plus side it is fairly quiet, especially out of season and... More

Facilities show a pool bar - not open, childrens facilities - none other than very, very small pool, wifi internet - only available in reception and not good, gym - none, shown as albufeira - a good 40 minute walk to nearest beach and you could not walk to Albufeira - 20-25 minutes by car!!! Only a couple of bars... More

We are just back from a weeks stay here and have to say it was super! We arrived at 00.30 and had to call a half hour before we arrived to have someone meet us. We hadn't booked a transfer so had to pay €60 taxi fare that took a half hour from faro airport.We made sure to book a... More

The accommodation was very good with plenty of room and quite well equipped. We had a poolside apartment which is much better as there is quite a lot of traffic noise on the outer apartments. The complex is really pleasant and clean, both pools have ample sunbeds and parasols. There are only 2 other bars apart from the one attached... More

As resident in the country side we already twice rent an appartment after a food and wine pairing event in restaurant A Casa do Avó . The price is very reasonable for quality and the staff was so sympatic to give us the same appartment on request. We got help immediately to regulate the airconditioning. There are different options to... More

We stayed at JVP in 2009 and enjoyed it so much when we were looking for a few days break in Feb we had no hesitation in returning.Arrived to a friendly welcome and were told that we had been upgraded to an apartment with pool view.The standards we remembered from the 2009 visit had been maintained,very clean and as much...

We had a one week stay last September at this little gem of a place. It is a perfect self catering base if you intend to hire a car and want a home from home in the sun. The apartments are clean and functional, the pools quiet and welcoming and Vale De Parra is a really nice little town which... More
