Vale de Milho Village

"We had a fantastic stay at Vale de Milho Village! The accommodation was excellent – spotless, comfortable, and perfectly equipped with everything we needed. From start to finish, the team ensured our stay was smooth and enjoyable, and we couldn’t have asked for more. The location was perfect – peaceful, beautiful, and ideally placed for exploring the area. It truly felt like we’d stumbled upon a hidden gem. We left feeling completely relaxed and already planning our next visit. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a perfect getaway. We’ll definitely be back!"

"The experience fell far short of expectations due to misleading advertising, poor maintenance. The listing for the three-bedroom villa included the following statements: "From the first-floor balcony you can enjoy a view of the lake." "Townhouses each with its own private garden and swimming pool, overlooking a natural lake with an ocean backdrop view." These descriptions are entirely inaccurate in relation to Villa No. 23. There was no view of the lake whatsoever from any part of the property. This is a clear case of false advertising. Additionally, the photos shown during booking are not representative of the actual garden and pool area at Villa No. 23. The images suggest a spacious, well-maintained garden with a rectangular pool. In contrast, what we arrived to was: A tiny, triangular garden barely large enough for a small family to use. A plunge pool, not the full-sized pool implied, with one corner cut off. A mud strip beside the pool, with dumped safety equipment at the bottom. Overgrown, poorly maintained hedges and a small triangle of patchy grass. The outdoor space was oppressive, unattractive, and not suitable for relaxing, which was one of our primary reasons for booking a villa of this size. When I raised this issue directly with your manager, Georges, I was simply told, "the plots differ" and thanked for my feedback. This response was entirely unsatisfactory, especially given that Villa No. 23 has a significantly smaller plot compared to other three-bedroom villas on the property. Additional Concerns Cleaning: We were told cleaning would occur on alternate days, but no cleaning was done during our stay. Noise: Ongoing building work nearby caused loud noise even inside the villa, further impacting our ability to relax. Overall, our family was extremely disappointed by the disparity between what was advertised and what was delivered. We chose this property with the expectation of enjoying time together in a private, serene outdoor setting — an experience we were categorically denied."

"My family and I have previously stayed at Quinta do Algarvio owned by the same group. This time we thought we would try Vale Do Milho as my parents were coming with us and we needed a x3 bedroom propery. The photos looked great and the x3 beds occupied a larger plot so enough space for x5 adults. On arrival after an early morning flight we were tired and just wanted to unpack. We were given the keys to our townhouse and told that the router had been stolen and that the previous occupants had left it in a mess. The entire resort looked shabby and tired with flaking plaster everywhere. We unlocked the door to find an extremely tired property with the tiniest garden and pool you could imagine. We could not have put x5 chairs around it let alone x5 sunbeds. The hedges were so high it felt like a dark gloomy prison cell. We complained and thankfully we had the pleasure of a wonderful man called Andre who listened and then tried to resolve it. It was Easter weekend so difficult but he kept trying. He moved us to a x2 bed which wasn’t ideal as my adult son had to sleep on a camp bed but it was only for one night. The following day we moved to Carveiro Gardens again owned by the same group. What a difference ! We had a luxury x3 bed villa which was light , airy , spacious and spotless. The lady on reception here was so accommodating we could not have asked for more. Our holiday started on day 2 and we would all give Carveiro Gardens x5 stars!!! Massive thankyou to Andre whom without our holiday was doomed ! He is a credit to the company he represents . Thankyou x"
