Most amazing place so accommodating, really amazing and beautiful place to stay faultless break.

Pros: The breakfasts were amazing and anything you asked for arrived with a smile piping hot and very fresh. The terrace was beautiful over looking the gardens and sea.

Cons: the evening meals were beyond expectations but hated the constant piano player acoustics were terrible and ruined the experience.

Het paradijs…

Pros: Ze zeggen bij binnenkomst: Welcome to Paradise… En dat is geen woord teveel gezegd. Ogen tekort om te genieten van het geweldige uitzicht, de prachtige tuinen, het strand en de zwembaden. Er hangt een serene rust. Zeker niet ons laatste bezoek.

Paradise in Portugal

Pros: De locatie is adembenemend. Uitzicht over de oceaan en wuivende palmen. Welcome to paradise was de openingszin. En dat klopte inderdaad. Elke avond een ander sterrenmenu .........welke chef doet dat .......

Cons: Niets was fantastisch

In una caotica e super edificata Albufeira, l'hotel Vila Joya è un piccolo paradiso per pochi

Pros: La struttura è una villa privata trasformata in Hotel fronte oceano, con un bellissimo giardino, due piscine. Ci sono due ristoranti uno in Hotel ed uno sulla spiaggia veramente eccellenti. Il personale è competente e gentilissimo.

Cons: Mi è piaciuto tutto. Tuttavia durante la permanenza se non vuoi mangiare tutte le sere al ristorante bi-stellato dell'Hotel... devi uscire e cercarti un ristorante fuori. Non è una critica e magari per molti potrà essere un valore aggiunto ma per me rappresenta un limite.
