Vilabranca Apartments

I have visited Villa Branca on numerous occasions and unfortunately standards continue to slip. The location is excellent and a great place to holiday as a family with young children, but when paying a premium price you would expect basic pool cleaning and maintenance of surrounding areas to be conducted on a regular basis. During our stay sunbeds and tables were not cleaned, just a cursory sweep and bins emptied. In addition the standard of pool maintenance is diabolical, the filtration system is inoperable and has been for numerous weeks,(friends stayed two weeks prior to us), resulting in low water levels and in turn cloudy water, debris floating in the pool and on the pool floor. Sun canopies and umbrellas are dirty and in a poor state of repair, and have been for some time as we have witnessed their decline over the years. These issues are clearly a managerial problem and need to be addressed at said level. When paying a premium price you would expect some investment in the infrastructure. To finish on a high the apartments are clean and of a good standard and we continue to enjoy our holidays at Villa Branca.

Stayed here for 11 nights... All staff where very helpful and kind, bus shuttle to beach or town was a plus and friendly driver..room was tidy and cleaned every day but could do with new furniture.... Sofa was dirty and beds where uncomfortable.....we would recommend and may stop again if visiting Portugal....

Just returned from a great 9 night stay at Vila Branca. We rented a 1 bedroom apartment which was massive and spotlessly clean. We had a large private balcony overlooking the gardens. If your intention is to cook whilst away all of the utensils and crockery required are provided. There is also a small supermarket next to the hotel which is really handy. They have an excellent bakery counter and large selection of wine! The hotels two pools are well kept, peaceful and surrounded by pretty gardens. There are plenty of sun loungers and the pool bar sells very reasonably priced drinks. The barman makes an excellent caipirinha! The hotel is located in a quiet residential area of Lagos about a 15 minute walk to the beach and town centre. There is also a courtesy mini bus service 3 times a day if you don’t fancy the walk. I would definitely recommend these apartments and wouldn’t hesitate returning.
