Vale de Milho Village

Nice, comfortable, quiet, and spacious apartments. Each apartment is equipped with a wonderful swimming pool. It is surprising how cool the apartment is indoors even if it's hot outside. We enjoyed a 3-room apartment with the bedrooms on the 1st floor - each room equipped with a spacious bathroom (shower + toilet); the master bedroom had a bathtub. Ground floor the living room, dining table, and an open kitchen fit for a family of 6, a spacious balcony large and roomy enough to keep the warmth outside and children to play on. The swimming pool is perfect! It is not that large, but it runs deep near the back (~170 cm), which I appreciate as an experienced swimmer but if you have toddlers may be something to keep in mind. Your 'personal' swimming pool in the garden offers you sufficient privacy even though the gardens are interconnected to enable passages for the gardeners. The housekeeping is lovely and always looking to make your stay a pleasant one providing you with fresh, clean lovely smelling towels.

Beautiful area, peaceful and relaxing. Friendly reception from Sandra and Hugo. Accommodation ideal for a relaxing break. Lovely Restaurant near by or a 25 minute walk to the centre of Carvoeiro. Private pool and facilities to eat in if you don’t mind cooking.

We travelled from Jersey directly to Faro. We hired a car which is around a 40 min drive. We rented a two bedroom town house with swimming pool. The accommodation was immaculate, clean, had every you need, kitchen well equipped, hairdryer, iron etc. Bed are extremely comfortable and the bathroom have great showers, the Aircon worked well, but having the big patio doors open without Aircon works welk. No bugs, just lovely. There are 5 restaurants all with 5 to 25 mins working distance.

Brilliant vilas! Spacious and clean, they are very well equipped and the kitchens had everything we needed including a Nespresso machine. The private pool was great and there was a nice and large outside table as well as inside table, plus pool lounges. You do need a car, as otherwise it would be hard to get around, but parking on site which is great. A number of close supermarkets so we were easily about to get everything we need and have a much more cost effective and convenient trip, rather than have to pay to eat out for breakfast, coffee etc. We still went out for some meals and there are a lot of local options. Local beaches are quite small so we drove to some of the larger beaches about 30 mins away. Only downside is the sound does rather echo out. We had a group next to us who played a lot of music outside, so that was quite annoying, but it wasn’t late at night and it is quiet inside if you close the door.

Wow..wow..wow!!! This place is amazing!! We are still here, travel back home tomorrow but had to write about how nice this place is! We arrived just after 3 to the most welcoming site manager Hugo, he was so helpful, showing us the maps & giving a little insight of what’s around. We drove around to our house & it was better than expected! I mean it looked good on the pics but in real life it’s even better! The space you have as a family is immense! We have teenage daughters so it’s nice for them to have their own space as well as us! All was super clean & furnishings modern & stylish. Kitchen fully equips, air-con amazing & the choice of Netflix/Disney etc was a huge bonus for us, we like watching a film or two! Well..when I saw the automatic shutters I was amazed! This was a game changer! You can literally shut the heat out! ..was brill! Then we checked the pool out which is wicked, being able to take a dip when u want was amazing ..& no sun bed wars which we wanted to avoid this year. Only two sun beds were around the pool & so we asked for another two & they were delivered straightaway! Great service! Asked Hugo for umbrellas too & it was no problem at all! Cleaning staff v attentive, dropped fresh towels regularly. Over all this place is a beautiful place to stay..but a car is probably needed as there aren’t many close by restaurants in walking distance. Eating out - we hired a car here so could drive out to different restaurants, here are some my picks. The Lighthouse - lovely meal, terrace to have drinks after. Maybe book here as gets v busy. Cafe fino - great English breakfast! Toastier etc. We didn’t try it for other meals but they do lunch & dinner (maybe we’ll try tonight?) Jardim do farol - huge portions! Nice meals. We had, beef stroganoff, pork, pizza & all really nice! We will definitely return to Vale de Milho, such a private place which we appreciate when we holiday. Thanks Vale de Milho we’ll be back!
