I'm not usually one for writing reviews, but after spending a lovely week in Vila Petra I thought I'd share my thoughts with others....as many people have already commented, the place is spotless, spacious and I personally thought the rooms were quite modern. I've stayed at many 4* hotels and this one definately tops them all. We went self catering... More

First time at Vila Petra. Visited with 9 of my friends for a golf holiday. Place was absolutely spotless. Rooms were large and we had a lovely view over the pool. Staff very friendly and helpful. We was allowed a very late checkout on 4 of our 5 rooms at no extra cost, the other having already been allocated. Didn't... More

We stayed at the 4* Vila Petra during the first week of the Easter holidays. We found the hotel extremely clean with well appointed rooms.

Useful kitchen with a neat balcony. The outdoor swimming pool looked clean. Take your own swim hats as that is mandatory for the indoor pool. Air-conditioner was... More

Just back fromsecond stay. Staff are friendly, reasonably priced bar, well equipped rooms. Beds can be hard, just ask for a mattress topper. Indoor pool was warm. Plenty of bars and restaurants in local area, yet hotel is quiet

I had high hopes for this hotel. I read most of the reviews. If you go into it with low expectations you will not be disappointed. The reception staff was ok. Some were nice and others were simply unfriendly and unwelcoming. I asked for a room with a view to the pool and I did not get it. Instead I... More

Well positioned for the facilities . On other travellers suggestion this year instead of getting a... More
