The unit was exactly as described and the location couldn't have been better. Took Uber to tons of restaurants and we backed onto the golf course. We had an issue with the water heater and the owners had it fixed immediately, great service.We would definitely stay there again and highly recommend the condo. ##### Dan L.

The apartment and indeed all the apartments at Palmyra were extremely nice and very well presented including the outside pool areas and gardens, the underground parking and security gates makes this development a great choice. We have stayed at Vila Sol on many many occasions and always enjoy our time there. We always hire a car which is an essential and the golf is always good and the green fees this year were half price really excellent value. A great place to come with or without children, the restaurants in Almancil are fab. Your apartment was perfect, very clean and spacious and one of the best we have stayed in. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joanne Gould 14 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic apartment! Has to be one of the best apartments we've ever stayed in! Set in beautiful gardens, a stone's throw from a lovely pool, it is perfect. The pool is great for kids and adults alike with a very gradual shallow end for little ones and a deeper end for more able swimmers. The apartment itself is extremely well equipped and has lovely decor. It has A/C throughout and is very spacious. There is a lovely big bedroom downstairs as well as 2 on the ground floor. Underground parking is an added bonus. If you don't hire a car then an Uber to the marina costs around €5 each way. We did hire a car and got it considerable cheaper through Doyouspain. Clodagh gave us really good communication. I cannot recommend highly enough! We will definitely be booking this apartment when we visit Portugal again. 5\*\*\*\*\* Here's some places you may wish to visit: Aqushow, which is just around the corner. We got out tickets for €23 by searching for a discount code. Fantastic water park. Take a picnic to save money! Zoomarine is a great day out. Don't miss the pirate show! Tickets online were €31 but you can do a second day for €10. Food at the park was, pretty reasonable. If you fancy something different, head down to Arthur's watersports at Vale do Lobo and hire a pedalo for €20 for 30 minutes on the lake. There's a lovely board walk through an area of natural beauty with a bridge that takes you over the dunes onto the beach. Here there's a little snack place where you can grab a drink, sandwich, ice cream. There's also a mini golf nearby called Par Tee golf where for €13 you can have a round of golf and a drink. The mini golf in Villamora is also brilliant. It has 2 18 hole courses. For a great cheap meal or takeaway, try the chicken shack in Quarteira, near Lidl. You'll get a whole spit roast chicken and chips for around €5 (takeaway). ##### Joanne Gould Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hugo D. 27 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excelente Excelente apartamento Lugar tranquilo ##### Hugo D.

There was also a safety gate for the stairs. the apartment was spotless when we arrived and is very well maintained. it is the perfect location for a holiday with young children, we travelled with a 3.5 yr old and 14month old and it really was home from home. Car rental is necessary. we didnt eat out with the kids but popped to the hypermarket 5 mins away everyday for fresh food. we brought our sky card which was a big advantage as the girls cold watch their bedtime show. there were lots of families there at the same time with young kids (under 5's) so we had nice company. a lot of the people we met were return visitors to the complex. i would recommend lucia apartment to friends and family and would return again. ##### rebecca cronin This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carlos R., UK 17 Sept 2011 #### Beautiful apartment We had a fantastic holiday at this apartment, it was very clean and well looked after as was the whole Palmyra complex. The owner was very helpful right from day one and had also provided a lot of good information in a folder within the apartment. The pool facilities were great and the communal gardens were beautiful. I would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone. We thoroughly enjoyed it. ##### Carlos R.

There was more than enough room for 4 adults and an 18 month old boy who loves to run around! Everything was very modern, clean and comfortable, good aircon system, with a well equipped kitchen and a large dining and lounge area. The terrace overlooked a really well maintained garden and pool area which meant we could hop in and out of the apartment in between stints in the glorious sunshine. The pool is large and was fairly quiet most days, with a nice little baby pool and splash areas dotted around. Very family friendly with a nice life guard. The apartment was really easy to drive to from Faro airport (25 mins) and there's a basement parking spot with a door straight into the apartment. I wouldn't recommend staying here without a car - it wouldn't be particularly easy to walk to the shops or restaurants, especially not in the heat, and you'll want to be able to get to the great attractions nearby. In particular the marina at Vilamoura is great for restaurants and is 10 minutes drive away. We also ventured to other towns on the coast (Albufeira, Portimao) which were easily reached. Clodagh (the owner) was really helpful and easy to get hold of before and during the stay - thanks! We didn't take up the golf, but we had a great time and would recommend staying here for those with young families and/or anybody looking for relaxation within an easy drive of the Algarve's fantastic coast. ##### V+FGQkAXubox7dGD54AhlWvUkw23AeIhOrTmPez+QoCT4FfAZgXEpafuoE1FLvaqZ7A1FWQMHZ4OZD+Yt8vUjOvGA9NBNO4wc5py V. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Quinta do Lago Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Almancil-Hotels-Quinta-Do-Lago-Country-Club.h9994818.Hotel-Information) > > [Dom Pedro Portobelo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vilamoura-Hotels-Dom-Pedro-Portobelo.h193955.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa With Private Pool, 3 Bedrooms, Sleeps 6, Vilamoura, Old Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Loule-Hotels-Villa-With-Private-Pool.h27015347.Hotel-Information) > > [Prado do Golf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vilamoura-Hotels-Prado-Do-Golf.h919441.Hotel-Information) > > [Dom Pedro Vilamoura](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Loule-Hotels-Dom-Pedro-Vilamoura.h176932.Hotel-Information) > > [Vale do Lobo Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Almancil-Hotels-Vale-Do-Lobo-Resort.h2921.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Apartamento do Golfe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vilamoura-Hotels-Hotel-Apartamento-Do-Golfe.h2851025.Hotel-Information) > > [As Cascatas Golf Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vilamoura-Hotels-As-Cascatas-Golf-Resort-Spa.h1777211.Hotel-Information) > > [Dona Filipa Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Almancil-Hotels-Dona-Filipa-Hotel.h10438.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury 3 Bedroomed Apartment- Stunning Views, Direct Marina Access & Shared Pool](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vilamoura-Hotels-Luxury-3-Bedroomed-Apartment-Stunning-Views.h30790305.Hotel-Information) > > [Dom Pedro Marina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vilamoura-Hotels-Dom-Pedro-Marina.h190387.Hotel-Information) > > [Conrad Algarve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Almancil-Hotels-Conrad-Algarve.h4258018.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Vilamoura - Algarve by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vilamoura-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Vilamoura-Algarve.h905327.Hotel-Information) > > [Vila Gale Ampalius](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vilamoura-Hotels-Vila-Gale-Ampalius.h189967.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Vilamoura](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vilamoura-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Vilamoura.h4508056.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Vilamoura As Cascatas Golf Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vilamoura-Hotels-Hilton-Vilamoura-As-Cascatas-Golf-Resort-Spa.h1671486.Hotel-Information) > > [The Old Village, Prestige and Solar by Village 4U](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vilamoura-Hotels-The-Old-Village-By-Village4U.h4895876.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Vila Gale Marina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vilamoura-Hotels-Hotel-Vila-Gale-Marina.h457741.Hotel-Information) > > [Pinhal da Marina Apartamentos Turisticos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quarteira-Hotels-Pinhal-Da-Marina-Apartamentos-Turisticos.h1748196.Hotel-Information) > > [Vilamoura Garden Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vilamoura-Hotels-Vilamoura-Garden-Hotel.h15368528.Hotel-Information) > > [Domes Lake Algarve, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Loule-Hotels-Domes-Lake-Algarve.h1339878.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakeside Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Almancil-Hotels-Lakeside-Country-Club.h7449722.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunas Douradas Beach Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Almancil-Hotels-Dunas-Douradas-Beach-Club.h13377592.Hotel-Information) > > [Parque Mourabel- Pe Do Lago- Oasis Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vilamoura-Hotels-Parque-Mourabel-Pe-Do-Lago-Oasis-Village.h1208440.Hotel-Information) > > [Tivoli Marina Vilamoura](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Loule-Hotels-Tivoli-Marina-Vilamoura.h891222.Hotel-Information) > > [Dom Jose Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Loule-Hotels-Dom-Jose-Beach-Hotel.h1205390.Hotel-Information) > > [The Residences Vilamoura](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vilamoura-Hotels-The-Residences-At-Victoria-Managed-By-Tivoli.h2873149.Hotel-Information) > > [Victoria Golf Resort and Spa Managed by Accor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Loule-Hotels-Victoria-Golf-Resort-And-Spa-Managed-By-Accor.h2215702.Hotel-Information) > > [Martinhal Quinta Family Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Almancil-Hotels-Martinhal-Quinta-Family-Resort.h1187175.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Grand Algarve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Almancil-Hotels-Wyndham-Grand-Algarve.h2134447.Hotel-Information)
