Pateo Village Reviews

Great place to stay. I will return for sure. Very close to the city center, Praia dos pescadores, coffee shops, restaurants and supermarkets. I recommend without any doubts.

Once again we enjoyed Pateo Village fantastically, we can now say that Pateo Village is our favorite stay in Albufeira. Wonderful stay in a quiet area close to the center, Staff is extremely friendly

Spacious apartment, in a very pleasant place with easy access to Albufeira (by car or transport). The indoor pool is a bonus at this time of year. The internet signal is weak and unstable in the apartments.

We went for the heated pool but the water temperature was 23 degrees. That is, cold. We told the maintenance man who was doing the measurements twice and he didn't pay any attention to us. In that aspect very bad. Very spacious apartment. Relatively close to the center

Excellent quality/price ratio. Very well located, attentive staff, good and clean pool, comfortable apartments. Quiet surroundings. I will return without any hesitation.

Fantastic ten stars super attentive staff I was with 3 children and they managed to provide an excellent location for the apartment. I strongly recommend. To be repeated next year without a doubt. Congratulations are all.

Pateo Village is about 15 minutes walk outside Albufeira, with its countless restaurants, bars and nightlife, so a bit of a haven if you want to escape the crowds after a while. There are two little supermarkets and a couple of cafes just a few minutes’ walk from the apartments, so it has everything you need. The apartments themselves are rather basic, but clean, and they comfortably sleep four people. There is a cafe on site, plus three pools (one for children). Overall, good value, and you get what you pay for, so if you want something luxurious you may be disappointed, but our family of four was very happy. Only 45 mins in a taxi to and from Faro airport as well and the main bus station is about 10 mins in a cab, which will take you to other resorts along the coast, plus Lisbon (a three-hour journey). One minor quibble: one of the receptionists couldn’t crack a smile, and a warmer welcome would have been nice after a long journey, but thankfully, the other ones on duty were very helpful… all in all, a good-value option.

Ignore the reviews from the 50 year old group of Karens below, this place is lovely. We travelled Sept 2024 as a family of 4 and arrived at 9pm. Check-in was quick and easy, with no-one asking for any deposit, (we had bought it just in case). We were given the key to our apartment and directions. The apartment was spotless, overlooking the pool and garden, the aircon was ice cold and free all day every day. Two aircon units in each apartment. The apartments are very big, easily enough to accommodate us. The pool area and gardens are spotless as is the indoor pool and jacuzzi, there is a 24 hour shop on site also if you need an emergency bottle of wine at 3am! We didn't try the cafe on site but used the one about 100 yards away, which do a good full english for 6 euros. There is a supermarket next door too and Aldi is a 4 euro taxi ride away. The walk into the old town is all downhill and takes around 15 mins, but there are bars to stop in on the way if you want to. I highly recommend downloading a taxi app called Bolt to get back. The taxis when booked through the app are dirt cheap and reliable, plus there is no need to tip the driver. Return from the old town is 4 euros. All in all, a lovely, peaceful place to stay, with the bars and shops of the Old Town only a 15 minute stroll away. The only thing I would say as a minor negative is the outdoor pool is cold, but you soon get used to it. Highly recommended.

On arrival we were not asked for any deposit which had been mentioned on our booking. It was €20 for the safe key, which was refundable at the end of our stay. As it was late evening when we arrived and we hadn't got our bearings yet the receptionist kindly rang a taxi for us to go down to old town to get food. We had a top story apartment, which was lovely, clean and spacious with a large rooftop balcony overlooking the pools and beautiful well kept grounds. The apartment had everything we needed including kettle, toaster, microwave, cooker, hair dryer, TV, WiFi and air conditioning. The bed was very comfortable. Housekeeping came every second day and replaced all used towels/tea towels. There is a small shop on site for basics to get you started. A coffee shop where you could get a small selection of drinks and different foods including a full English breakfast which was very good. Very clean pool area which includes 2 outdoor swimming pools (1 kids pool) and an indoor heated pool plus a jacuzzi. Plenty of sunbeds and sun shades for anyone who needed them. It is in a quite residential area of the Algarve. A little out of town on a hill with a 20/25 minute walk down to old town but taxis are only about €4 each way for anyone who would prefer not to walk. We would not hesitate in staying in Pateo village if we go back to the Algarve in the future.

Located a little further up a hill than we would have liked, but appreciated the fitness effort whilst enjoying a week of Portuguese food. Large apartments, friendly staff, quiet complex and all apartments surround the well kept garden and pool.

Stayed here for 3 nights, 4 days in total as part of a group of 4 young girls. We received a friendly welcome on arrival with staff willing to help. We were a bit worried after reading other reviews but we had no problems at all during our stay. The hotel has a shop on site and a small cafe which we used everyday for drinks and food. The pool area was lovely with shaded areas available. The greenery and cleanliness of the area was well kept and maintained every day. We walked to a shop only 2 minutes away to get food and drinks for the room. We stayed on ground level where the room was basic but had everything you needed and a great size. We always felt safe and comfortable staying here and would definitely return. Taxis to old and new town were cheap through Uber and the location gave us a great base to stay and relax. Overall we were very pleased and could not complain about one thing while staying here.

Really clean apartments, comfy bed. Lovely pool area, great food in snack bar. Overall really nice place. Staff at the snack bar really friendly, and the pool bar at night. Set up a hill but taxis down train areas are cheap enough. Book through bolt app for cheapest taxi.

We stayed here for just one night as a family of 4 with 2 teenagers. We arrived a day earlier than our place for our holiday became available. It was actually excellent. I was a bit worried about the whole €100 deposit thing but although this was stipulated in the information sent to us on booking we weren't actually asked for it. I think that given the reasonable cost and excellent location this place might have a habit of attracting rowdy groups that they have had bad experiences with. This is clean, has a lovely pool and there are a range of nationalities with some looking as if they were regulars. We were really happy with it and would have been happy to stay for longer.

Just back from another wonderful stay at this gem of a place. Our 6th time back here since 2013 and will most definitely come again. This place is the ideal for families with young children, pool area is never too busy. Accommodation is basic, but spotlessly clean. As for the complex itself, WOW….. it is kept immaculate. The green grass and planting just adds to the relaxed vibe of this place. All the staff are so friendly and the cleaning laddies are so nice…. Even taking care to be quiet when the kids were still asleep one morning. Short trip in a taxi down to the old town, and you can find everything you need. Thanks to everyone at Pateo Village.
