We just returned from a truly memorable holiday at Colina Village and can't recommend it enough! From start to finish, our experience was fantastic, largely thanks to the incredibly friendly and helpful staff.
The restaurant and bar staff consistently went above and beyond, always greeting us with smiles and ensuring we had everything we needed. Their attentiveness truly enhanced every meal and evening drink.
But what truly made our trip unforgettable was the incredible Elsa! Her energy is infectious. She led fantastic bingo sessions that were a riot, got us moving with her engaging yoga classes. Elsa's enthusiasm really made the resort feel vibrant and kept us entertained.
Overall, it was a holiday filled with great memories, largely due to the wonderful atmosphere created by the exceptionally friendly team. We're already looking forward to our next visit!

This was such a gem to find.
The staff are all excellent, very friendly and eager to please. The Boss deserves a pat on the back for having such an amazing team behind him.
The location is quiet, but if you have mobility issues, you'd be stuck, or would need transport.
I can't wait to go back again!

Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING is old, broken or damaged and in need of repair or more likely replacement.
The appartments are quite spacious but the is not a single comfortable chair in the house, so out of sheer misery you have to go out or to bed early.
1 airco wasn't working at all and 1 only semi/kind of. 2 out of the 3 bathrooms didn't have hot water and the showers were built for midgets.
Also the master bedroom: tiny, tiny bed. Why not a kingsize, or at least a queen? Plenty of room for it!
The swimming pool was nice, but a lot of tiles have come of, leaving lots of sharp edges. My son cut his foot quit badly, according to the lady with the first aid kit this happens several times a day (well, that makes it allright then, I guess?)
Further in the pool area again lots of decay; tables in the bar are tearjerking, common showers and toilet a disgrace.
The restaurant is allright though and the people are very friendly, however absolutely no value for money at close to 2000 euro per week!

A charming collection of villas that reflect the price you pay.
My partner found a great deal for here so we decided to book. Our overall sentiment is that Colina Village is a very good budget option to visit the Algarve although done expect the Ritz.
The apartments are very spacious with good utilities although they are very outdated. Most utilities and furniture are in severe need of an update or regular maintenance and better cleaning. Our AC and boiler packed in (thankfully on our last night). The pool area could do with a massive renovation as big tiles in the pool were missing and the ladders out felt like they could snap on your own weight. The sun loungers are extremely uncomfortable and found ourselves in the lacking pool most of the time.
The location is very good. A 20 minute walk to Cavroeiro that boasts some amazing restaurants and some beautiful scenery with tours of local caves on the water. Takes around 4-5 mins in a Uber/Taxi which the reception can arrange for you. They also run a free mini bus service with return into town 3 times a day but unfortunately it isn’t very punctual with time.
The restaurant is nothing special food wise but like other parts of Colina Village it could do with a serious update. The bar I couldn’t really fault, the prices of alcohol reflected what we found in the local area.
Most staff we dealt with were very polite and helpful and was only a handful that let them down. We stayed at the end of April where a weather event caused a multi nation outage. We initially weren’t too fussed about this as we had stocked up on food and water the day we arrived. We inquired as to when the power was expected to return as we did not have any signal or power for around 4 hours at this point and had no idea what caused it or if it was a regular occurrence. We were told that a Russian cyber attack had knocked out a large part of the European power grid and they were not sure when it would return. We obviously had no way of confirming what the reception staff told us and naturally took his word for it. We were also informed that a dinner service would be available for guests at the restaurant due to the inconvenience. This was untrue. We arrived at the restaurant at 6:30pm sharp to a closed restaurant and bar. We observed several staff members taking water, food and other provisions into personal bags and even cars.
In a nutshell it is perfect placed in a picturesque part of the Algarve only an hour away from Faro airport and really not far from a very beautiful town. We did feel it was very family oriented. The walls are very thin so hopefully you’d be lucky to have quiet neighbours. Colina village does have a certain charm but don’t think we will be returning unfortunately.
