Once in a blue moon you'll stay somewhere that you really want to keep to yourself, for fear that if the secret's out you'll never get booked in again future without planning a year in advance. This is one of those places - but lucky for you I'm not that selfish. I can certainly confirm what all the other glowing... More

My wife and stayed at the Vilacampina for 3 nights last week and we had the most relaxing and enjoyable experience. As previous reviewers have said Margarida and Sophia are the perfect hosts making us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived to when we left with recommendations for eating out and visiting places. We had the double room... More

We stayed there for 5 nights and that was absolutely delicious. On the one hand, guests were so kind and thoughtful ; on the other hand, food, bedrooms, bathrooms, garden and accommodations are amazing. I think the best place to stay near Tavira. To stay in the middle of olive and orange trees, with all these smells of honey and... More

This wonderful boutique hotel deserves five star praise. Hugely stylish and very comfortable, everything is arranged with generosity and charm. The rooms are full of thoughtful touches (fluffy bathrobes, water, chocolates, fruit-- no such thing as having to pay US$5 for mini-bar water or a Wi-Fi connection here). The living area balconies and chic pool area (with shaded terrace and... More

This was our first visit to Portual and VillaCampina was a fantastic place to start our holiday. The hotel is exceptional, the grounds are beautiful and Margarida, Sophia and the staff made the whole experience faultless, so professional and yet soooooooooooo relaxed. Cant wait to go back.

We stayed a vilacampini for a week and that wasn't long enough! It's a fabulous chic guest house with a warm and welcoming heart. Sophia and Margarita supported by a small crack team have this place run to a tee. Every detail is thought about and considered. They have an excellent restaurant list and suggestions of where to spend time... More

We really wanted to keep this a secret – a top secret! It is amazingly fabulous, the most gorgeous breakfasts and the staff were probably the friendliest we have found. We had an older (84 yrs) relative with us and they were so kind, so thoughtful – what a wonderful place – just a shame they don’t do dinner and... More

The villa is stunning, and the grounds are beautifully maintained. It feels like a family villa and the lounge area and pool are great places to relax in. The staff are very helpful and knowledgable about the local area. We were there with a small child and she really enjoyed the grounds, and we felt completely relaxed letting her run... More

I can't recommend Vilacampina highly enough. If you are thinking of staying there - DO! Staff cannot do enough to perfect your visit to the eastern Algarve, the house is beautiful (we especially enjoyed the pool), and the area is full of picturesque beaches and unspoilt by tourist overdevelopment. My only concern is how quickly I can get back!
