Vila Petra

The location is near residential area and is peaceful and quiet. Our room and balcony faces a not very pretty lot but it didn’t matter so much as we weren’t in the room much of the day. The room was clean and the kitchen very well equipped with utensils and appliances. the sofa bed sheets had some hair which was not too pleasant. On one of the mornings, the electricity went out for 30 minutes but luckily it wasn’t too hot at that time. As it was September, the hotel was fairly quiet most of the time although the front desk told us they were fully booked. There were supermarkets nearly so it was convenient to get food and drinks, and there is a couple of very good Portuguese restaurants within walking distance.

Just stayed here for a week. Lovely hotel. Really large rooms with plenty of storage. Lovely pool view room. Hotel staff really helpful and friendly. Pool a really good size with a nice pool bar. Evening entertainment in the bar every night. Though was a little small but the entertainment staff were really good and friendly. Nice pool room downstairs to have a game. There is a gym. Quite small if you're a regular gym goer but you could adapt to get a good workout. Didn't eat in the hotel but the food looked nice. Small little shop on site which sells your regular essentials. Nicely stocked. Rooms were cleaned daily. Would definitely stay here again. It is a bit far from the old town about a 40 min walk or about 4 to 5 euros in an uber. 10 mins from aldi and 5 mins from the new town *****.

Stayed 5 nights in 2 bed apartment with friends Huge apartment overlooking pool with 2 bed 2 bath and 2 kitchens. Every member of staff was pleasant and friendly. Apartment cleaned daily. Great entertainment team. Stayed in for Mexican all you can eat. Fantastic value. Location great 5 mins from new town ***** 10 mins from old town on taxi which hotel would sort. This hotel exceeded all of our expectations and we wouldn’t hesitate to return or recommend to friends

A beautiful hotel in a central location - Vila Petra was a perfect place to stay for a week exploring Albufeira. My partner and I stayed in one of the self-catering apartments and found it to be the perfect base for our holiday; it was plenty spacious, maintained meticulously each day by the cleaning staff and felt extremely peaceful and private. We had no problems with any noise or disturbance whatsoever the whole time we stayed. Check in was quick and straightforward - we arrived a few hours before our room was ready and were able to store our luggage in a side room (my only concern would be that this was left unlocked and with the door open) and walk 5 minutes to the main *****, and a further 10 minutes along to the beach. Our room was fully equipped with everything we might need for our stay - apart from an iron and ironing board, but this was quickly brought to our room within 10 minutes of calling down to reception. Although we didn't spend too much time around the hotel pool, the time that we did was very relaxing. There were plenty of sunbeds available despite us not coming down from the room until late morning and the poolside never felt too overcrowded. As a couple who personally preferred spending the days on the beach and exploring the area, this hotel was located perfectly. The nearest beach is around a 15 minute walk away, there were plenty of restaurants and bars in the area surrounding the hotel (I would wholeheartedly recommend the restaurant Made in India, which is less than a 10 minute walk away, for delicious food at cheap prices) and Uber's into the Old Town and surrounding beaches were prompt and cheap - costing around €5 a journey. Despite the hotels proximity to the New Town nightlife, there was no noise or disturbance and it felt lovely and secluded. Overall, we had a perfect week at this hotel and would definitely stay here again on any return trips to Albufeira.

First time that me and my wife came to Vila Petra, was in 2019. It was great back in the day, but this time, with a lot of improvements, the experience in the hotel was amazing! Starting with the shows: MAMMA MIA was great fun! We loved listening to Mari singing!!! Big add to the hotel: entertainment! The crew is beyond amazing! Another great thing was the staff, and food, definitely better than last visit. In our last night we had the opportunity to be in Vila Petra’s summer party, this was an incredible event, with lots of great performers. This might be one of the best hotels in Portugal!!
