Our stay was okay. We booked for 9 days and the staff were amazing in the restaurant, we’d come back to a perfect temperature in the room, the only issue is the beds were uncomfortable as it was two singles pushed together. You could hear next door moving around which was so difficult when trying to sleep. Housekeeping would show up at random times and move everything of yours that was away neatly in a drawer. Location was quite secluded but could get an Uber for less than 5 euros. Heavily disappointed in the state of the rooms but the staff made the experience worthwhile.

This was an incredibly cheap March 2024 11 day holiday for the two of us and we read many reviews knowing specific types of peoples “problems” with the complex and booked here anyway knowing non of it would be a problem for us. Especially at the price we paid.
If it wasn’t clean enough, we’d clean it ourselves, if the beds weren’t uncomfortable we’d deal with it, if there was no wifi we’d buy a data eSim, if the pool was cold we wouldn’t use it, if there was a problem we would speak to reception rather than complain on a review site afterwards etc etc. Expectations were well and truly checked BEFORE we booked. We are very well travelled individuals who love a bargain.
Our apartment was huge and modern so I’m assuming it had just been refurbed. It was also clean and lovely.
The area itself is very quiet with not much around at all which was what we knew and wanted for out holiday.
Beds were very hard which I love (I don’t know why folks complained previously about uncomfortable beds, each to their own I guess).
It would have been better to have duvets rather than multiple sheets on the beds but this didn’t really bother us.
Birds start tweeting loudly at approx 6am when it starts to get light so bring earplugs if that bothers you.
The kitchen was lovely with a table to eat at but was missing a few daft things like a second “large” cup and more than one teaspoon. We asked for a second mug but didn’t need another teaspoon but I’m sure reception would have given us one if we asked. There was a serrated knife and a bottle opener as well as everything else you’d need. I’m not sure if we ever got the oven to work properly or not as the instructions didn’t make any sense settings wise….but we made it work nonetheless and cooked many meals in it.
Large lounge with aircon and a table and four chairs to eat at and a coffee table, sofa and single seater. Lockable door to patio worked.
The bathroom again was huge with a very powerful shower over the bath.
The bath plug itself drained quickly and there’s no way you’re getting a full bath of hot water (it does get cold in Portugal in the Winter) as the water tank is too small but this really wasn’t an issue.
His and hers sinks (yes the bathroom was this big) was great but the cold tap wouldnt budge on the one but again this did not bother us.
No Wifi in your apartment, but we knew this prior to booking so it didnt bother us.
Free Wifi at reception is dreadful but by the pool it is very fast.
We parked right by our apartment front door.
Outdoor terrace had nice sunlight in the mornings.
Pool was incredibly cold in March and was unusable (not an issue) even though it was 17 degrees and sunny.
Complex is approx 20/25 fast pace walk downhill to the town centre which we knew when booking, so anyone complaining about location needs to do their homework prior to booking.
Because of the distance from town you may find that “certain people” stay at the pool all day long drinking and speaking very loudly the entire time about the most mundane things and chat on Facetime with speaker on full blast etc. Whenever these “types” are about you’re best off heading to a beach for some peace and quiet.
Large well stocked Intermarche supermarket is a five minute drive away or about 25 mins walk.
We did not eat at the restaurant or drink at the bar.
We absolutely loved our time at Colina Village and would heartily recommend and stay there again.

Great little self contained appointments, very friendly staff and very clean.
It's not the high high end of accommodation but a clean friendly atmosphere makes up for it. Really enjoyed my stay an will be coming back

Close to town only a few euros in a taxi /Uber which is great and staff at bar are very friendly but the worse beds I’ve ever stayed in. Sofa was very unclean and overall the place needs a very deep clean and new pillows. We stayed for 5 nights and none of us slept one good night. We won’t be back.

Beautiful place with the loveliest staff, if you have any issues they deal with it ASAP. Isolated enough to be peaceful and near enough to the beach and a supermarket to walk but uber runs efficiently and is inexpensive. the food at the restaurant is delicious as are the cocktails at the bar.
