Vitor's Village

Great stay, nice staff! Walkable to gorgeous beaches and the town of Portimaõ. Comfy beds, clean apartments. Could do with a bit more shelving in the bathroom (even a small chair under the sink would do) and some hooks here and there, but otherwise perfect.

What a fantastic place, so clean, staff friendly and apartment immaculate. Highly recommended.

Niet voor mensen die slecht ter been zijn (heuvelachtig terrein). Ferragudo is nog een authentiek dorp. Ontbijt: dikke voldoende.

Beautiful pool area and gardens. Everywhere is very clean and well maintained. Our room had a large sitting room/dining kitchen, separate large bedroom and bathroom. We had a decent view of the river and lower swimming pool even though we didn't pay extra for a river view. Nice large balcony. The room was cleaned every day. I found the mattress very hard so I asked at reception if it was possible to have a bed topper. When we came back that evening the bed had a topper on it which made a difference. We found all of the staff except one to be very friendly. The main guy running the bar always looked angry. The bar service was very slow. Even if there were three or four staff in the bar area it appeared that no one else was allowed to serve to help reduce the queue. Check in was very quick and the receptionist was lovely. We walked to Lidl to get provisions it's only about 10-15 mins walk. There is also a new supermarket next to Lidl that has a nice cafe and we bought hot fresh cooked chicken here (I think it's called Commercial) and also further along the road there is a lovely bakery just after Lidl. This also has a nice cafe. We used Uber for the return trip and it was only about 4 euros. Ferragudo has a lovely beach with a couple of lovely restaurants. Sunbed and parasol hire on the beach cost us 20 euro for two sunbeds for the whole day

As others have stated this place is fabulous, other than a very short steep hill to the lovely village of Ferragudo. We had a one bedroom apartment which was large, with a well equipped kitchen ( no conventional oven). During our 7 night stay, we ate out on 4 occasions, Uber Eats one night, and meals prepared at the apt on the other 2 nights( an ideal mix for just the 2 of us). Everywhere was spotlessly clean, with housekeeping going a great job every day too. Plenty of sun loungers available, as long as you aren’t particular for any spot. My only small gripe is that as a 4* Establishment, beach towels were not available to borrow/rent, which for us travelling on ‘ a carry on luggage’ basis was a nuisance. Other than this would definitely return to Vitors and to this lovely relatively unspoiled area. It is not an area for anyone looking for a lively upbeat nightlife type holiday….perfect for families imo
