Excellent family holiday villa
Villa La Romana was ideal for our family holiday. The villa had everything we needed and the rooms were very comfortable. The garden and pool area were well maintained and perfect for relaxing during the day. The ping pong table was also a fun addition for the children.

Villa La Romana is an absolute gem! Its traditional Algarve charm combined with modern amenities made our stay unforgettable. The location is perfect – a quiet and peaceful area yet close to stunning beaches and excellent restaurants. The outdoor area with the private pool and BBQ was a highlight, offering the perfect spot for relaxation and al-fresco dining. The shared balcony upstairs provided beautiful views, and the villa was clean, spacious, and well-equipped. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway!

All great!!
The blend of traditional design and modern comfort was just perfect. The private pool area was a paradise where we spent most of our time relaxing and enjoying the sunshine. The location couldn’t be better, within walking distance to beautiful beaches and local restaurants, yet peaceful and quiet. The villa was spotless and well-maintained, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The outdoor BBQ and dining area made our evenings extra special. We can’t wait to return!

Just arrived home after an amazing Holliday in Portugal this villa is perfect clean and comfortable with a lovely pool, our stay was made much more enjoyable by the representative Gabriela who gave us some great recommendations and sent us in the right direction for some amazing food. Well see you next time 😊
The property was everything promised! As an unexpected bonus, when we arrived the property was stocked with essentials (sugar, coffee, bread, condiments, soft drinks) and even a bottle of red wine and a large bottle of Sagres. The next morning a representative met with us (Gabriella/Gabby) who was PHENOMENAL. Cheerful, helpful and very accomodating, Gabby was in contact with us throughout the week and even arranged a wonderful tour for us. We couldn't have asked for more from this experience.
We had some difficulty finding the property as the name on the property is not Villa Romana. Overall we liked the villa size, location and cleanliness. We found the beds to be very uncomfortable. We paid to have the pool heated but about half way through our stay the temperature of the water became colder even though the manager said the heat was on. We were only supplied one bath towel each, no extra towels for the pool. Be prepared to supply your own garbage bags and dishcloths.

Das Haus ist leider ganz schön in die Jahre gekommen.. es fehlen im Bad und im Flur Möglichkeiten Sachen aufzuhängen bzw abzulegen, die Bereitstellung von Handtüchern war dürftig; erst nach dringlicher Anfrage haben wir nach 5 Tagen diese gewechselt bekommen Insgesamt fanden wir das Hsus etwas zu teuer für das was es geboten hat, den Grill wollten wir lieber nicht benutzen Beim nächsten Mal werden wir uns ein anderes Haus suchen

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We appreciate your suggestion regarding storage space in the bathroom and hallway; the villa is presented as shown in the listing photos, but observations like yours are valuable as we continuously look for ways to improve the guest experience.
Regarding the towels, each guest is provided with a full set upon arrival. As communicated, a mid-stay change is scheduled, which in your case was planned for the 5th day of your 10-night stay. However, following your request, we arranged for the towels to be replaced earlier, on the 3rd day after your arrival.
We would also like to highlight that this villa is positioned as an accessible and affordable option within the region, offering good value for the facilities provided. That said, we respect your opinion and regret that the experience did not meet your expectations.
We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future.
