Casa Camelia

We had a perfect stay at Casa Camelia in Vilamoura. The house is beautiful, very clean and equipped with everything you need. The pool is just amazing – we spent a lot of time relaxing there. The location is quiet and still close to the marina and beaches. Our host was super friendly, helpful and always available for questions, which made the stay even better. We can 100% recommend Casa Camelia and would love to come back!

Lovely sized property that was great for our family. The villa is in a lovely neighbourhood and we felt very safe. Plenty of room inside and out with a private garden area and drive, which we were able to park our motorhome in. Ensuite to each bedroom. Good size kitchen with everything you need. Swimming pool was a good size and provided us with lots of fun (unheated). It was a short uber ride to and from the local town/port with a great selection of bars and restaurants. The host Miguel responded quickly to any messages we sent. Easy access from 12 o'clock and didn't have to leave till 12 so relaxed end to the holiday. Very good value for the price.

The property needs some general updating ie bathrooms and kitchen but all functional. We had problems with the beds being uncomfortable and when we checked the slats they were placed in all directions and some broke...could do with some replacement bases. On arrival we were pleased to see pool furniture and a sun terrace but I needed to clean all the cushions and terrace table before we could use them. The patio furniture chirs were broken in places so again some updated furniture would be good. Obviously if.money is spent it would probably reflect in the price! The advert said the property had sea views but it didn't ( views were good despite this) and it was further to the town that stipulated. I am sure that if we had insisted about these problems Miguel would have rectified them.

The outside area was fabulous the pool so clean and plenty of sun beds and large area, the host Miguel was lovely to deal with, we needed an extra fan and he had no problem giving us one . Nearest shop is about a 7/8 min walk

Inside the villa needs to be updated the door locks ( very hard to lock up at night ) , kitchen cupboards , toilet seats etc very old , but showers are old but powerful and work perfectly fine . pots are not for the gas hob as u burn ur hands off the handles , but a lot of plates forks knives pans , coffee machines , WiFi does not work in all areas of the villa just in one bedroom and main living area

The outside of the property is beautiful and the pool was wonderful. My children spent loads of time in the pool, as did we, which was great as it was very hot! The internal size of the property is spacious with a bathroom per bedroom and would comfortably sleep 6.

The inside of the property is dated unfortunately. The property has no air-con which was the biggest drawback for us as it was so hot at night. The children and we found sleeping difficult in the heat. There were 2 fans provided but they did not provide a lot of comfort. There were a lot of ants in the kitchen. The showers need some tlc. There are no basics provided such as toilet roll, soap, etc.
