Vila Castelo Parque0

I loved the comms before arrival. Flight into Faro airport landed at 10pm so needed an after hours access. Comms explained key pad and key safe and location of apartment. Very useful after a long day of travel ending with a 50 minute drive on unfamiliar roads in the dark. Welcome pack meant a nice cup of tea was available. In the morning our breath was taken away by the views from the balcony, the light, the space, the comfort. Our apartment was two self contained flats. Both with double beds and bathrooms. Our kids didn’t want to share so our 12 year old son let his 15 year old sister have the bedroom and he was given a spare bed in the living room. Although he ended up using the much more comfortable sofa for two weeks. Spotless and the staff were so very helpful. Pool was never too crowded with always room to find a sun lounger. Location was within 10 minutes slow walk to restaurants and bars of Ferragudo and 5 minutes walk to Praia Grande with it’s beach and cafe/restaurants. A little slice of heaven for two weeks. Would love to return.

Limited menu at the poolside bar. The toasties were too big!! Too filling.

wonderful apartment, very luxurious. Beds were the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in 😊 the small welcome pack was an added bonus. The furnishings, bedding etc were of very good quality.

I have a few points that I’d like to raise with the owner of the apartment. The rug in the bedroom with twin beds was a trip hazard and we had to take it up as we nearly fell. The downstairs bathroom should have a grab rail in the bath to help getting in and out, and the slip mat provided should be much longer. The kitchen tea towels were all stained and need replacing (we didn’t use them). The electronic gates to get the car in only opened on one side in the morning we left so had to squeeze the car through, luckily we could. It should be noted on the advert for this apartment that the apartment and complex are not suitable for anyone with mobility problems.

Apartment on top floor gave us a beautiful view of sunsets and a bit of Harbour. Jacuzzi was a wonderful bonus. Used it more than once daily. Problem with aircon was sorted out by owner very quickly. Kitchen appliances, crockery, cutlery very good quality

Beds in main room were not as comfortable as expected.esp since rest if apartment was 5 star. Was not aware that the apartments was 3 floors up with no lift. It was OK for us, but if I had a tiddler and pram, or elderly parent it woyld have been a serious problem about which we were not warned

Our apartment was beyond comfortable. it had everything we needed. Plenty of space for our family of five, very well stocked kitchen and towels for the pool as well. Always clean and we had the pleasant surprised that they clean and replaced towels midweek. Facilities were always spotless and ready for us to use. Pool, gym, pool bar. It's a perfect location since it's walking distance from the town of Ferragudo where you can find many restaurant options, cute walk to get ice cream and walking distance to the beach. To the beach is the most 5 min (and we had a 4 year old walking :) ). Also, we rented a car and we were 5 minutes from different beaches and close (between 20 to 40 min) to the main Algarve beach attractions like Carvoeiro, Benagil and Marinha. Also, if you wanted a more city like experience, you have Portimao 7 min drive with tons of restaurants, marina with lots of tours leaving from there (I recommend Discover) and the super markets like Lidl are a 5 min drive

The apartment was huge! Gorgeous big balcony also. the pool was spotless and the staff very friendly.

nothing to do with the property itself but worth mentioning the hills/steps to get into the main town area, we had a double buggy which we gave up using as it was too much to push it back up the hills!! the streets are gorgeous but just a little heads up if taking a buggy

We loved the food on offer for lunch. Very reasonable and excellent quality. The staff were absolutely fantastic - helpful, friendly, responsive and informative.

I think 2 things (1) there is no food or bar after 1900 - we missed being able to have a nightcap or choosing to just eat in the resort. (2) the hills/slopes - with no lift service to rooms. This was difficult for us and we didn’t appreciate this at time of booking. The walk to shop/town involves hills, quite significant ones.

The apartment was spacious and clean, with all the necessary facilities for a long stay if needed (washing machine, ironing board, fridge, kitchen, TV etc) It was a short walk through cobbled streets down to Ferragudo market place and restaurants The swimming pool area was superb, with a bar and snack area. The complex has underground parking and secure access. The staff were very friendly and helpful, making restaurant suggestions and bookings for water taxi etc.

The view was nothing special.

Apartament was very spacious and had everything you needed. Was very quiet area, lovely views and very confortable stay. I would recommend it, we were 2 copuples and 2 kids and was plenty of room for all of us. There an amazing beach just down the road, nice restaurants around and the town is beautiful.

The only thing I would say it that there was not cold water coming out if the showers.

The apartment was clean, spacious, the kitchen well stocked, the beds comfortable. Plenty of room for our family of four. We enjoyed the beautiful view from the balcony. The staff was extremely helpful, the pool was pleasant and the location very convenient, walking distance to the beach and restaurants.

Vila Castelo Parque is in a great location between Praia Grande beach and the square in Ferragudo, which is the prettiest village in the Algarve. All the staff were so helpful.

Nothing comes to mind, we know they've plans to update some of the gym equipment
