Colina Village

"Very nice place to stay, it is just a short journey away from the main part of Carvoiero which is around €5 euros each way in an Uber, or at certain times there is a very handy shuttle minibus which takes you to/from the main strip.. thr drivers of which are very pleasant guys who do a good job! Carvoiero is a nice town to while away a week in the sun, go out for meals, and a few drinks. It is not really a party town so might not interest everyone. The complex at Colina village has outdoor pools and an indoor pool. There is a Bar area , and also restaurant if you want to eat there. The apartments are very spacious and well kept, with all the things you might want. Ours had no kettle when we arrived but I told reception and one was placed in there by the time we arrived back. The staff are very polite and helpful. Carvoiero is a decent holiday resort and has a lovely beach.. a cove/lagoon sort of beach. There are a few local trips which can break it up a bit. Like on the road-trwin to Ferungudo, a small fishing village a few kilometres away. Also we went on a pirate ship trip from portimao which was fun, and you can explore the caves that way if you like the idea of looking for treasure with pirates! Have been back three times now to Carvoiero, and twice to Colina village.. Will go back again j expect, too."

"Just got home from a great week's holiday. 2nd year at this hotel, so it's not 5 star but it's not expensive to stay there. It may be a in need of a little tlc but the staff more than make up for the decor. The rooms are clean and well equipped, beds changed and fresh linen twice in our week long stay. Excellent food in the hotel restaurant and very professional staff are on hand to attend to anything you need. The location of the hotel is outside the town but if you have the Uber or bolt app it was costing around £4 to get into town or you can make use of the free shuttle bus at 10am 2pm and 5pm. Entertainment is laid on twice a week, it's fun if you get involved after a few beers. Have met some great people in the last 2 years at Colina village hotel. It may not be everyone's cup of tea but we enjoyed it again, very relaxing and can't thank the bar and restaurant staff, Ilda, Jose,Celia, Jessica and Roshan enough for making us feel so welcome."

"I have just rerturned from a solo holiday at Colina Village. Being my first time I was a little nervous, but the staff were friendly and made me feel welcome. They made time to talk to me and ask how my day/evening was and even remembering my name which was nice and made me feel comfortable. Location wise it is located in a quiet area. It is laid back, it was peaceful and I got a good nights sleep every night. I was given a 2 bed apartment. The kitchen was well equipped with a fridge freezer, microwave, toaster, crockerey, cutlery, pans etc. the only thing missing was a kettle, i'm sure they would've provided one if i had asked for it but i didn't need it. The apartment was very spacious and clean. The bathroom could do with updating but it wasn't a problem. The air con unit wasn't working in the living room and one of the bedrooms but as it wasn't the height of summer it wasn't a problem for me, a fan had been placed in the bedroom. The breakfast and dinner choice was sufficient. The pool was large enough and as it was September it wasn't too busy. The nearest supermarket, called Intermache, is a 20 minute walk away which stocks everything you would need for a self catering holiday. The town was a short drive away and the hotel provided a free return shuttle to the town and beach around 3 times a day. The Wifi only worked around the reception area. All in all It was a lovely, relaxing holiday, I enjoyed my stay there. I would recommed it and would stay there again."
