The villa was ideal, loads of space for a party of 9 with great views. The previous reviews mentioned the steps which would definately be a challenge for the older generation, and possibly more lighting for the outside areas, but overall excellent.

We had a wonderful two weeks stay. The villa was perfect, very spacious for our 3 families and very well equipped. The pool was beautiful and the many seating areas provided lots of space. The walk to Alvor was quick and easy with lots of lovely restaurants and shops to explore. It was so nice to be able to let the teenagers explore alone! The area was quiet and felt very safe. Aart was on hand and very quick to help us out with one or two small issues. Would highly recommend, a fabulous villa and location. Thank you.

Excellent property, lots of space, we were 9 adults but could easily have been 12 and there would still have been plenty space.Have marked down a little for cleanliness, the pool (particularly tiling) could definitely have done with a good scrub.Very well equipped, it’s obviously not a new building but everything was in working order (bar a few minor snags communicated directly to the host which absolutely would not have changed our decision to stay here).Location up the hill, but means you can see the sea, and is more peaceful. Alvor an easy enough 20min walk in, 30 to the beach (or 5 in the car).Would recommend and would stay again.

Lovely villa
Our party was 7 – myself, my daughters and their families, including 2 children. The villa is beautiful, and has a glorious setting, with panoramic views! It is a little shabbier than the pictures, but still lovely, with pretty bedrooms and loads of living space.Outside, the pool area is fabulous, but be warned, there are a lot of steps! Definitely not for toddlers, but our girls loved it, and barely left the pool! The location was perfect for us – Alvor with a huge choice of restaurants, and a great supermarket in easy reach.The barbecue was disappointing, but the eating area beautiful. The kitchen was well equipped.All in all, we had a wonderful time, and made many happy memories

Enjoyable holiday
The villa was lovely, plenty of space, well equipped. The pool area was superb with plenty of facilities for all ages.The more mature and less active of our party found the many stairs and steps daunting, likewise the walk to Alvor centre but the Ubers were very speedy. Apart from this we had a great family holiday.

Wonderful Stay & Vacation
This property was absolutely perfect for our extended family gathering. Accommodating six adults and three children (aged 9, 12, and 16), it suited all of our needs flawlessly. While the property does feature numerous stairs, both the kids and my parents (aged 74 and 76) managed them well throughout our stay. Each evening, we enjoyed a delightful stroll downtown for gelato and soaked in the vibrant nightlife. The check-in process was seamless, with timely email and message updates provided days in advance. Our visit coincided with the Euro Cup Futbol, and we relished the lively atmosphere in Alvor while watching the games. Additionally, we embarked on a breathtaking sea cave tour in Lagos and explored the stunning local beaches. This experience was truly unforgettable, and we eagerly anticipate returning in the future!

Family holiday
Very spacious villa with space for a large group, we werw 11 adults and a small baby. The outside kitchen and barbeque were amazing. Only downside is the number of steps. This villa wouldn’t suit anyone with mobility issues or with very young children. The pool was a great focal point and there were plenty of sunbeds. It is only a short walk into the village or to the beach, a perfect location
Fab place in great position
This was our second stay at the Villa,
Had an amazing time. We spent most of our time outside, in the pool or sitting a one of the many seating areas. About 15-20 minutes into Alvor where we found some great restaurants and bars.
Only downside is the number of steps.
I would suggest a rail of some kind just for safety. Other than that a fantastic place to make great memories.
Great space
Villa better than expected. Three parts of family stayed and easy to arrange bedrooms etc. Outside spaces were amazing with four bedrooms with own balconies. Would recommend a car as very hot and not keen on walking or getting a bus
Vila Vita Nova excelente!

We had a great stay at this villa. We travelled as 3 families of 4, plenty of space for all our families to be comfortable. Pool was a fab size for all the children, they loved it. Great facilities. Some of the slabs around the pool are loose which is a concern, and there are areas of tiredness but it is generally well maintained and we had no issues. The air conditioning is pay on arrival, we had a couple of issues with some of the units stopping working on the first night but Aart came over first thing the next morning to sort out and left us with better instructions should it happen again – which it did but all ok. Great location for Alvor, lovely walk after a lovely evening meal. We had a great stay and would stay again.

We had a wonderful stay at the villa for a week in June. Pool was great, rooms were lovely and spacious. Communication with Aart was very good and he was very attentive when we had any issues. About a 10 minute walk into Alvor which is great on an evening. Quite a lot of noise from the local hotel next door during the day and a couple of evenings, but other than that would highly recommend this place.

Perfect for a group our size (10).
Lovely outside cooking area and the pool was a great alternative to the many beaches in the area.
We could not fault it in any way – although the number of steps that you have to climb on a regular basis might cause elderly guests problems

We stayed at the villa for a week – we were a family group of adults and teenagers. The villa was perfect for our group as there were so many different terraces – plenty of space to gather all together but also all have our own space! The facilities overall were excellent. The only thing I think could be made a bit clearer was the number of steps in and around the villa – we counted 133 in total! Whilst just about ok for the older members of our group, for anyone with mobility issues or very small children it might be tricky. Overall though this is an absolutely fantastic villa in a great location. Thank you!

The Villa is set on top of the hill overlooking the town with a sea view and only a 10-15 minute walk to the centre of Alvor. The accommodation is excellent, although you may find it difficult to cook for a large party of 12 in one oven, although the BBQ is fantastic and there are restaurants a plenty close by. The property manager, Aart greets you on arrival which is a lovely touch and shows you around the property. The only downside to the property is accessibility if you are not fit and active as there a lot of steps leading to the villa itself. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. So much so we have booked again for next year. Thank you for having us all and we can’t wait until next year. The Newcombe family.

Having been to Alvor several times before we decided to bring the whole family out to experience what Alvor has to offer, Villa Vita Nova did not disappoint anyone.
It is an absolutely stunning villa with lovely views over the horizon. Whether you wanted to be on your own, or together as a family, every room in this very spacious villa was immaculately presented.
The pool was also very impressive and to our surprise there was a box of pool equipment ie. lilo, balls, bats, rings etc. for us to use. Night lights came on in the evening and it was just beautiful.
As the details state it’s a 10 minute walk to the lovely town of Alvor, with a supermarket just a 5 minute walk from the villa and on the way to the town. It’s about a 20 minute walk to the beach.
Aart called in to greet us shortly after our arrival and all communication with Aart, throughout the whole booking process and any other query after, was excellent.
This is truly an amazing villa and we would recommend it in the highest possible terms to any future holiday maker.

Mooie ruime, huiselijk villa met veel slaapkamers en badkamers. Goede bedden en heerlijke douches. Heerlijk zoutwater zwembad (beter dan chloor), goed wifi en heerlijk uitgebreide keuken.
Het is wel veel trappenlopen vooral voor de wat oudere mensen.
Aanbeveling: buitenkoelkast, schaduwdoek boven terras en langere lakens/dekens
