Just got back from this fantastic resort and had a brilliant time. Lots of people were previously reporting small issues which I will now feed back on. Firstly it is the most fantastic location, well out of the hustle and bustle of Carviero and set in marvellous peaceful grounds on the very outskirts of Sesmarias. If you want peace, quiet... more

Just returned from a 5 night stay at the Colina Da Lapa complex, 20th to 25th June 2008. Weather was great, clear blue skies & 30c every day! We had a 2 bedroom, 2 storey villa (no 42) & it was excellent. The complex is very well maintained, lots of space between all the villas, well manicured lawns - a... more

The Algarve is a beautiful place and has many beautiful beaches and great food. This friendly and charming resort is a perfect central base for exploring this beautiful coastline as an hours drive east or west covers the whole of the algarve.There are also numerous beautiful coves/beaches very close to Colina da lapa. I went from the 31 May til... more

We do not normally book holidays through a high street travel agent, but as there were 11 adults and 3 babies, and it was a last minute booking, we found it the only way ahead. The holiday started as a long weekend in Paris and ended up a week in Portugal. About a week before we left, we were told... more

Just returned from a week here with my partner and twin baby girls. We were also joined by another family with a 4 yr old and a 2 yr old. We stayed in 2 x 2 bedrm villas which were of a very high standard and had everything we needed. Can also request to be next door to each other.... more

Well kept gardens, plently of sunloungers around a nice pool. There are several apartments without outside space, so if this important to you I recommend you ask. I did and we had a lovely patio for outside dining. Limited pots, pans and crockery - no washing up liquid provided or essentials such as salt and pepper! There was no entertainment... more

My husband and I just got back from a last minute week in the sun at the end of Sep. We ended up in Colina Da Lapa and couldn't have been happier. We couldn't fault the complex--beautifully manicured, well planned and peacefully quiet. We stayed in one of the delightful 2-bed villas, which was absolutely fab. Totally huge with full... more

stayed for 2 weeks at the end of August.What a great place to relax and charge the batteries.Agree with other writers,that in order to make the most of the resort you need to hire a car.The only criticisms to make are the uncomfortable beds and pillows,I have had more comfortable camp beds whilst camping.Spotless rooms with good daily maid service.We... more

Have just returned from a two week holiday with my wife and two sons (11 and 7). We stayed in a two bed town house which was effectively a semi-detached villa. Compared to some mobile homes and hotel rooms we have stayed in, this was enormous! The complex is spacious and immaculately manicured. Because this complex is small and fairly... more
