Villa Aqua Overview
It’s all about the pool at Villa Aqua, an immaculately presented four-bedroom villa, situated between Vale De Parra and Albufeira. With two very different vibes, you can enjoy tranquillity in one resort or head for some fun nightlife in the other.
The villa has a modern design on two levels and plush interiors. A beautiful, mosaic tiled pool rests at the foot of the property with adjacent flat green lawn. Sunny loungers rest poolside and overlook mature, evergreen trees. The overhanging terrace provides ample shade for an al fresco dining table and citrus coloured chairs.
The glass floor to ceiling sliding doors throughout allow lots of sunlight to enter the villa. Furnishings are modern, featuring designer sofa chairs and a glass dining table. All bedrooms have sliding doors which open directly out onto the terrace. Imagine awaking and allowing the sun to kiss your skin before heading down for breakfast. The two double bedrooms feature pristine, ensuite bathrooms, tiled in blue mosaic.
Centred between two beautiful resorts, you have your choice of picturesque and peaceful Vale De Parra or the livelier Albufeira. In the day, you’re spoilt for choice with beaches to enjoy and at night, the resort lights up with fun restaurants and bars.

The villa is set in a beautiful cul-de-sac with lots of other beautiful villas, it’s a very quiet and family friendly area. The villa is very deceiving when you walk in as there are two bedrooms on the ground floor and then it drops down to a huge living area, housing the further two bedrooms and the kitchen. The bedrooms are all with their own bathrooms, there is also a family toilet facility next to the kitchen which is very handy. The kitchen is fully equipped with items to use if you prefer to eat in - which as a family we enjoy doing during the day. There’s a BBQ outside and lots of areas for seating to eat both upstairs, inside and next to the pool. The living room is very comfortable, with a TV if the weather isn’t great, and other seating areas on the balconies. The pool is a great size, though very cold when we attended (but what can you expect in October?!) there are lots of sunbeds around the pool, which means you can sunbathe from the morning until late afternoon. Albufeira itself is a very vibrant town with both an old town and a new town. There are lots of places to eat, including grills, Indians, Chinese’s, Portuguese restaurants, pizzerias and so on. We didn’t have a bad experience at any of the restaurants that we went to! There are lots of great bars, many of which have live music on each night, which was great! There’s a town close to the villa called Galé which has an excellent beach and a perfect fish restaurant! All in all an excellent villa, excellent location and excellent family holiday!

Villa Aqua is great place for lazing round the pool, we spent most of our holiday outside the villa, eating at the table outside the kitchen door then relaxing and socialising on the balcony outside lounge in the evenings Although Albufeira old town was 10 minutes away we had no problem getting taxis All in all we had a great holiday

Wonderful villa that provided the base for a great holiday! The layout is perfect with two ample sized en suite bedrooms on each floor. The kitchen is well equipped but we did not make full use of this due to eating out. A great pool area exposed to the sun for most of the day but falling into shade late in the afternoon (which was a relief due to relentless sunshine). The location of the villa is at the end of a road backing onto a woodland area which made for a peaceful stay. Not too easy to walk to local shop / restaurants due to distance and hilly terrain but the hire car removed this obstacle. The villa was found to be immaculately clean and all in all everything we needed for a villa holiday.

Villa Aqua is amazing. The layout was perfect for our two families as it gave us privacy with two bedrooms upstairs and two downstairs. The bbq is right next to the dinning area and the kitchen so everyone can be together. The outdoor area is great with a great pool and enough sun loungers for everyone. There was a lovely restaurant within a fifteen minutes walk( up hill on the way back)

Super modern villa very clean. Much more private than Villa Leonar next door. Plenty of steps to get to pool etc. Beds very firm. Worth noting no U.K. TV channels - not an issue for us given excellent weather.

Incredible villa in a wonderful quiet location. Unbelievable woodland area which also included a sea view. Having 4 en-suite bedrooms was such a bonus. Fully equipped with quality items with nothing left out.

Facilities within the property - which is huge - were excellent. Only downside was that due to the time of year it was cold so jumper time, Kitchen was perhaps a little on the small side considering the villa could sleep 8 though ample for the 4 people in the group. A car is needed to get to the villa, there are shops, bars and restaurant about 10 minutes walk away. Albufeira is a short drive away and there are plenty of shops and restaurants there. Each room has a balcony with doors opening from bedrooms and living area. TV had a couple of UK channels I would stay here again.

I've been to the area many times. The choice of restaurants and bars is very good and the weather is always the main driver for us. The villas have always been very high quality (and I've stayed in quite a few).

Lovely and well equipped villa. We had a car and proved essential to get about. Walk to the supermarket was approx 15 minutes downhill and a few minutes more going back up the hill so we did use the car most of the time. Would have been useful to know just how steep. We had a great and relaxing holiday and will consider using Solmar villas again. Thanks
