Relaxing stay near the beach
We really enjoyed our time at Villa La Romana. The villa has a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and the outdoor dining area was perfect for evening meals. The beach and local restaurants were within easy walking distance, which made the stay even better.

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.
Clean and safe location. All the amenities you need for a fantastic vacation.

Lovely
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!
Very good villa only gripe is that someone would contact us for activities etc and forgot to do so

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.
