“Fantastic stay”

Beautiful place to stay! We were here with our whole family and rented the large apartment and 1 studio. Nice base to discover the Algarve. Very child friendly. Linda and Joris do everything they can to make the stay as comfortable as possible. Kids have a great time at the pool in a safe and well-organized environment so that moms and dads can also relax.

The best place in the Algarve!

We never go to the same holiday spot twice, except for Vila do Ouro. That says enough. This is such a nice, beautiful place where we feel very much at home. It is run by Linda & Joris who do this perfectly. They give you a very warm welcome every time and ensure that the grounds and accommodations are always tip top. […]

Beautiful accommodation in the Algarve

What a wonderful and beautiful place. Beautiful Portuguese villa in the middle of an oasis of greenery. We stayed in a bungalow in the beautiful tropical garden with a view of Albufeira and the sea. Nice and calm. The bungalow has everything you need. And 2 luxurious sunbeds with a thick mattress outside. The swimming pool is beautiful. The same luxurious sunbeds surround it too. […]

Wonderfully quiet with liveliness around the corner

I stayed at VdO for a week. Wonderfully quiet in bungalow no. 12, fully equipped and with a beautiful view from the very spacious terrace. The accommodation and the flowery park of VdO are well cared for. It is wonderful to stay there in late summer. […] I already have an option for spring 2024.

Nice view

Been to this apartment complex several times with our family. The owners are a super sweet Dutch family. Beautiful bungalows and apartments. Lovely swimming pool and tennis court. Not too crowded. You can hire a car through the owners and you need it to get to the beach. […]

Beautiful garden

If you are looking for peace, space and a stay outside touristy Albufeira, Vila do Ouro is the place to be.
The beautiful garden with wide views will make you forget that you are near one of the Algarve’s busiest resorts.[…] In addition, Linda and Joris are very hospitable and approachable. Definitely a recommendable base to explore this part of the Algarve.

Fantastic

We had a fantastic week with Joris and Linda. A very nice place to stay, wonderfully relaxed, neat and very well maintained. The four of us were in a bungalow. (2 adults and 2 children) fine, you are outside a lot. Lovely swimming pool and if you want to do something, you are quite close to everything. We will definitely come back.
