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.

The apartment was spacious, spotlessly clean, and had everything we needed — including a well-equipped kitchen and a large, sunny terrace with a beautiful ocean view. The location is perfect: just a short walk to the beach and the charming village square filled with great restaurants and cafés. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the entire property felt safe, quiet, and very well maintained. The pool area was clean and never too crowded — ideal for a relaxing afternoon. We especially appreciated the free and secure garage parking, as well as the reliable Wi-Fi. Another thoughtful detail was that no deposits were required for keys or garage access — we felt trusted and welcomed from the moment we arrived. We recommend Vila Castelo Parque to anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable base for exploring the Algarve.

Some of the kitchen equipment could use an update to match the otherwise high standard of the apartment. Also, it would be a nice gesture to provide enough dishwasher tablets for the entire stay, especially for longer bookings, rather than charging extra for something so minor.

The location of the villa is great for getting around, only a short walk to the beach and other local amenities. We travelled mostly by foot everywhere, but hired scooters one day to go a little further with exploring the village. The villa itself was very well equipped and was found in a good clean and well maintained condition. The staff were all really pleasant and very helpful.

Coming home!

The two bedroom apartment was just perfect with modern kitchen, spacious bedrooms and a hot tub on balcony. The swimming pool was a short walk from apartment and the pool bar was nice. A short walk to the beach, two nice restaurants at the beach, Club Nau worth booking in advance. Staff were friendly and the pool chairs over comfy and plenty of them. Decent gym with weights, equipment and treadmills.

It was perfect. worth having a car as proper supermarket a bit of a trek, you’d need to self -cater a bit for breakfast,lunch if you didn’t want to be in and out all day

There's much to commend this property, even before you enter the front door - the location is perfect, both for the main beach in Ferragudo, Praia Grande and for this picturesque town itself. The pre-stay communication was thorough and full of information and when I met the reception staff, they were absolutely excellent, very helpful and with faultless English. When the occasional housekeeping issue arose, it was dealt with quickly and efficiently. I also had a garage space with this property, which was a bonus. The apartment is huge, with a very large lounge/dining area, well-equipped kitchen, bedroom and bathroom downstairs and by means of an impressive spiral staircase, and additional bedroom, bathroom and utility room. An absolute pleasure to stay here.

I can't actually fault the accommodation, but if you have an aversion to hills or steps, Vila Castelo Parque and Ferragudo itself probably isn't the place for you.

The cleanliness of both the apartment bit also poolside ans reception area. Really comfortable sun loungers, really relaxed feel and environment. All the staff so friendly and pleasant from the maids to poolside bar staff. Great food , fairly priced drinks. Good gym facilities . Brilliant location few minutes walk ti the beach or into town for food. Went above and beyond to get our room early really early so we could check straight in!

Nothing. It was flawless exactly like it has been in previous stays here

Perfect location. Beautiful Villa with picturesque views. Roof top in the Penthouse is an added bonus - sunrise and sunset - glorious. Plenty of restaurants - excellent variety. Short stroll to beach or town. Locals are so friendly and helpful. Didn't want to leave.

Quite a few steps to get to accommodation from the car park. Not too much of a problem - only when carrying luggage to and from.

Fab location, close to beach and to the town centre. Views are lovely. Couldn’t fault the villa, it was beautiful, clean, had everything you need. Few hills to climb to get to it, but nothing too strenuous. We are planning to come back in October!

There was nothing to dislike.

Beautiful spot. Lovely quiet separate pool. Apartment is lovely and modern.

Would have loved a full length mirror. Longer hanging space for long dresses. An easier way to take suitcases to the apartment.

Great location. Spacious property very very quiet as at the end of summer.

The washing machine. The day before leaving we went out at 10am came back at 6pm and the washing machine just wouldn’t stop. It washed over and over. We couldn’t get the door open. We left the next day with a load of wet washing! New clothes came out looking old as they were continually washing & spinning over and over.
