Hochklassig in allen Belangen

Sehr persönliches, kleines Luxus Hotel. Freundliches Personal, immer hilfsbereit, super Aussicht mit Palmen, einmalige Sonnenuntergänge, Essen wie erwartet überragend, tolle, grosszügige Grün-anlagen um den Pool. Einzige kleine Kritik:EUR 27.50 für einen Aperol-Spritz am Pool scheint mit doch etwas gar teuer zu sein!

Perfect retreat

Amazing stay at Vila Joya! Two days was not enough. Vila Joya has it all, walking distance to stunning beaches, top notch amenities including a quiet pool, delicious food and superb service.
Natalie, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Maravilhoso

A localização e os jardins são maravilhosos. O quarto é confortável e o pequeno almoço é muito bom. O acesso à praia é óptimo. Só não apreciámos o jantar, talvez o chef não estivesse inspirado nesse dia. A salada de peixe servida na esplanada da piscina é excelente, o chef Francisco é extraordinário. Os sumos no restaurante da praia são divinais. O lugar é um verdadeiro paraíso.

Stille og rolig ved stranden

Litt smårusk i kommunikasjonen, litt feil opplysninger ble gitt. Treningsrommet var dårlig utstyrt, samt apparater som ikke virket. Sprayen til å rengjøre etter seg var tom i 5 dager

Hotel boutique incrível, somente a cama podia ser um pouco melhor. Mas não diminui em nada a avaliação geral do hotel.

Delightful

The position of the restaurant terrace overlooking the sea is delightful; we saw some wonderful sunsets. The breakfasts were very good, the evening "degustation" meals were amazing. With the bars by the pool and on the beach there is a good choice of lighter meals as well. The staff were most friendly and welcoming.

Take your stay to another level!

It came with great fanfare and it surpassed our expectations. It has a great location, beautiful and manicured gardens, but what puts it above most is their personnel, who is serviceable without being intrusive, caring and lovely. The restaurant is food for the ages, the views are eternal. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts!
