We travelled as multiple families and this villa worked perfectly. The number of bathrooms made everything very practical, and the outdoor space was fantastic for gathering together. We also arranged grocery delivery before arrival, which was very convenient for such a large group.

Amazing Stay with Friends
Villa Royal Mill was beyond our expectations. The size of the property is impressive, and everything is very well maintained. We especially enjoyed having our own space while still being together as a group. The sunsets from the terraces were stunning, and the staff was super helpful. It’s the perfect villa for anyone looking for comfort, privacy, and fun near Albufeira.

Unforgettable Group Holiday in Albufeira
We stayed at Villa Royal Mill with a group of friends and family, and it was absolutely perfect. The villa is huge, clean, and beautifully decorated. There was plenty of space for everyone, and the pool and jacuzzi were the highlights of our trip. The outdoor area was ideal for relaxing, barbecuing, and enjoying the Algarve sun. The location was also great, just a few minutes from Albufeira and the beach. We couldn’t have asked for a better place for our group holiday.

Perfect Villa for Large Families
Our family of 25 spent a week at Villa Royal Mill, and it was an incredible experience. The villa had everything we needed and more. The rooms were comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped, and the outdoor space was amazing. The kids loved the game area, while the adults enjoyed the jacuzzi and the large pool. It’s rare to find a place that can host such a big group so comfortably. Highly recommended for big familiesgroups of friends.

Liked: Communication, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Check-in
Property was not ready at check in time, cleaners were still there 1.5 hours after check in and the manager told us it happens every week, surely check in time should be changed or additional cleaners bought in? Pool was very green and cloudy for the first 3 days of our holiday. Property is quite run down and a lots of things broken and in need of repair. We were then charged for umbrellas which were already broken when we arrived but we unfortunately did not report or take a photo.

Thank you for sharing your feedback.
We would like to clarify that the check-in delay experienced on the day of your arrival is not a common occurrence, and our manager did not indicate that such delays happen every week, as mentioned in your review. On that day, our cleaning team required additional time to ensure the villa met the high standards expected for our guests following a same-day departure, which can happen when previous guests leave the property in a condition that requires extra attention. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Following each check-out, a thorough verification of the property is conducted. The items for which you were charged were found broken after your stay and were confirmed to be in good condition prior to your arrival.
Our email correspondence also indicates that you stated you had a good stay overall and had no intention of posting a negative review prior to being informed of the charges. Nevertheless, we appreciate your comments, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again for an improved stay.
Warm regards,
Algarve Vacation Customer Care
Communication with the company really good. Booked transfers through the company which was well organised. Property was as described, pool and hot tub are great. Thought the distance from Albufeira might be an issue but Uber’s were only 5 minutes wait and were cheap to get to/from Albufeira. Really good holiday, would recommend
26 guys. Stayed at this villa on a stag do - every room had an en-suite and the whole place was so clean and well looked after.
We also paid extra for the hot tub - worth it! Both the tub and the pool were cleaned daily
The check in guys are readily available if anything is needed.
Honestly wouldn’t change anything about the place. Quality set up and only 5 mins in a cab to the strip.

Our group of 18 people (adult friends + 5 children) stayed 4 nights at the Villa. There is no shortage of spaces to sleep at this home! Great that each room has its own en suite bathroom. Lovely outdoor area w/ pool, jacuzzi, loungers, tables, outdoor shower, and bathroom.
Wish that the house had larger indoor areas to gather (e.g., dining room or living room) as it was not possible with our group. We also did not have a proper check-in/introduction to the house until the next morning. Due to the key/door setup (only one house key), we had to leave the back door open w/deadbolt so that people wouldn't get locked out of the house if they were are the pool area. This situation was annoying for adults and dangerous for young children to have access to an open door to walk out to the swimming pool without another barrier. A simple keypad to open the door would solve this situation.

We stayed in this villa for a hen do as a group of 25 adults.
Before arriving due to other reviews, I was a bit worried about what it was going to be like, however it was absolutely fantastic and was the perfect base for all of us.
All of the rooms were plenty big enough to accommodate us, although I would say any more than 35 and I think it would be too much. The villa was really tidy and clean when we arrived and everything was well presented, with bathroom extras and nice bedding.
The decor is slightly more old fashioned than I was expecting with the pictures online, but everything worked and looked nice, so it didn’t really affect us. The bbq/pool area was where we spent most of our time and there was plenty of space/ sunloungers for everyone. There was also a hot tub available but we didn’t use this whilst we were there.
The Algarve Vacation team who the villa is booked through are super helpful and answered several queries I had whilst organising, such as booking our waterpark trip with transfers, sending me day trip information and supermarkets to do an online food shop.
I was a bit sceptical about providing a large deposit of €200pp for a big group, as I had seen some comments about people not getting theirs back, however we did get it returned at the end when nothing was broken, so this is a genuine process - in case this helps anyone else’s decision on whether to book!
All in all, fantastic place and I would definitely return!

60th Birthday Celebrations!
Property is large and accommodated our group perfectly (10 couples), enabling most to have their own bathroom. Not all rooms have air con, and it would have been helpful to have had a floor plan of the property to enable us to allocate rooms in advance.
The outside space is great and where we spent most of our time, making use of the bbq, pool and hot tub. Helpful outside toilet - an outside fridge would be good to avoid the trips to the kitchen!
Ubers approx €8 for the 10min trip to the marina - good meals at Fat Cats and San Martino.
We ate locally at Mira Campo, cafe Sofimil (great for a coffee, ham & cheese toastie / cake), Sol Nascente (Churrasqueira) for a reasonably priced meal (the garlic prawns were a hit) and also the wine tasting at Qta do Canhoto - all walking distance. There was no welcome folder with local info.
Intermarche is a 10-15min walk and Uber back (€4). We did online shop with Apollonia having been advised that this was the most reliable supermarket.
The kitchen is well equipped but could do with a good set of plastic glasses for outside and some tall glass tumblers for drinks in doors.
The showers aren’t very powerful and need replacing.
We had to ask for more sunbed mattresses, coat hangers and towels (mid week) - knowing the group size this should not have been necessary. Pool towels provided despite being told otherwise!
Pool needs cleaning more than once per week & contact with local agent in advance of trip and during trip would have helped!

We were surprised in a really good way with the size of this villa. We knew it had loads of rooms and had very spacious common areas but we didn´t think it would really be this big, very spacious for each member of my family and friends, the bedrooms had very confortable mattresses so we slept good during our stay. Outside the pool and jacuzzi were amazing, the BBQ area with the dinning table was one of the best things, we could do our meals all together and having fun at the same time, refreshing ourselves. Incredible Vacation, will repeat surely!!!
