    We are just back from a wonderful stay at Vilar Do Golf... The grounds and pools are immaculate and the villas have been refurbished to an exceptional level... The main restaurant onsite, Il Vero is fantastic and an upmarket Italian but you can also pop in for a drink too... The small shop onsite has a wonderful bakery so you can grab your fresh breads, croissants, pasteries and pastel de nata's in the morning... Best to drive 5 minutes up the road to Pingo Doce at Quinta shopping for the big shop though... The pool bar introduced a happy hour this year which was very welcome!... Pedro is a fantastic barman- efficient and so friendly and nice and always had a smile and a laugh!... Great to hear the playground is going to be refurbished later in the year which is needed... You really need a car in the area to get out of the Quinta bubble and explore further afield and go to some lovely villages with restaurants that are kinder on the pocket!...

    ...Our accommodation is clean, comfortable and well equipped. Outside on the terrace, an umbrella, table & chairs & loungers make it perfect for a drink, sunbathe or afternoon nap... The on site supermarket has everything you need to eat between breakfast at Cafe NOA, or an evening meal at the on site Italian restaurant... We did not have a car but found the hotels shuttle service great... It dropped us by the boardwalk where you can walk across a boardwalk bridge to the beach, stopping at Gigi’s restaurant... As we enjoy walking we walked back from these restaurants, however if you time it right you can get the shuttle back, or if not call a taxi... The swimming pool area is very pleasant, lots of sun beds, nice pools or an in door pool if you prefer... There is a pool bar that serves drinks & light snacks...

    ...On arrival we were given assistance to our apartment by lovely young lady on reception duty, during our stay we had a full week of relaxation, which was our plan. The resort is geared for Golfers, and the pool and leisure area were excellent...

    ...It’s well located and staff are very accommodating. The pool area is clean and well kept... Great range of menu at pool bar... The houses all have a garden with sun loungers and table and chairs, great when you can’t be bothered eating out...

Really enjoyable break and stay. The upgraded Villa was spacious, well appointed and met all our needs. Staff were very helpful and did an around great job with a smile. Fabulous location, within walking distance of the golf driving range, Italian restaurant and Golf Clubhouse. On site there is a nice pizza restaurant, cafe and well stocked supermarket. As well as a very nice set of swimming pools. All round a great pick. If you are lucky enough to get one of the golf course view properties even better. You really do need a car to make the most of this resort. The beach is a couple miles away but from there fabulous walks abound with plenty of great restaurants. The only downside during our stay was a lot of biting insects.

Nice area, nice staff and nice golf courses. We loved the Italian restaurant on property. My only complaint would be towels need to be replaced. Towels were smack and old. Overall a great stay and great location

As two couples in our 50's, we enjoyed our stay at Vilar do Golf immensely. Having two full baths upstairs and a half bath downstairs was really nice. The second bedroom had two twin beds. I would suggest the resort consider changing some of the units to have a queen bed in the second unit. As two adult married couples, putting one couple in a set of twin beds was not ideal. The restaurants were both lovely and elegant and the service was excellent across the board. Make sure you rent a car so that you can enjoy all of the beautiful locations less than an hour away.

Nothing was too much trouble for the staff here when our 21 strong cycling team arrived. From the multi-lingual Carlos on reception to the crew in the onsite Italian restaurant, we were made very welcome. The chalets are very spacious and comfortable with all the mod-cons that befits a 5 star resort.

Great rooms and nice resort but disappointing they do not allow check in before 4pm, considering they have so many villas and it wasn't busy at all. You'll also need to buy or bring a swim hat for the indoor pool where the fun police will stop you from entering the pool through the most accessible doors and send you up the stairs and around instead. Staff are nice and friendly. You could probably get a cheaper deal if booking late during off peak times.

The resort is always very welcoming and they always try to offer you the villa of your choice The cleaning staff do an amazing job as the villas are immaculate Also the weather was very bad some of the days we were there and the gardeners worked very hard to clean up all the debris on the paths

The Vilar do Golf resort exceeded our expectations! Our room was clean and well stocked. The location of the resort is 20 Mins from Faro and 35 mins from Albufeira. They also offer a shuttle to the beach near the resort. I would recommend eating at the II Vero restaurant located at the resort. The food and service was great. The villa has a washer, but be aware there is no dryer. Not a big problem, but know that you will be hang drying your laundry. Something that I did not realize and I should have pack a few more items.

This resort is located in a quiet part of the Algarve within easy commuting distance from Faro airport. It is particularly suited to golfers but also suitable for families who want a relaxing holiday. There is a shuttle bus to the local shops and beach.

We've been coming here for 12 years. The villas are always in excellent condition and the beds are the most comfortable you'll find. Price is very good for the standard of accommodation and the pools and gym. Easy access to the amazing beach.
