We spent the last two weeks of September in a 2 bedroom villa in villanova. We are a family of 6 with 4 children from 12 to 19. Before i go any further can i add the holiday only cost £1000 for all 6 of us- so i can't be too picky! The Villa was basic with tired furnishings, on... more

My friends and I checked into the Vilanova Resort, for one weeks stay, on the 13th September 2009. There was eleven of us in our party, to which we had booked three apartments.

Our room wasn't going to be ready till 2pm so we left our bags with reception and went to join our friends around the pool. The check in process was very quick and the lady was very helpful.

We are less-than-fussy as a group but were all extremely pleased with the Vilanova Resort, mainly because of it's ideal location but also because the villas... more

We spent a week at the Vilanova last year in Sept. It was the first time we had both experienced the Algarve. The hotel was very good. We had an apartment and a huge separate bedroom. The grounds are beautiful and kept immaculately. The hotel is amongst the shops and entertainment, which were in abundance. The only thing I didn't... more

I cannot coment on the hotel facilities,rooms etc-but would just like to warn people of the total lack of organisation in this hotel.
