Just one glance at the reviews is enough to assure potential guests of the quality of accommodation at Jardins Vale de Parra Hotel.

The complex which lies close to Albufeira on the beautiful Algarve coast of Portugal has received glowing write ups from former guests, with many people giving the hotel 10 out of 10 and raving about the high standard of rooms and facilities, warm welcome, excellent service, value for money, and beautiful setting. Built in 2003, the Vale de Parra Hotel offers three-star apartment accomodation that provides guests with self-catering independence alongside the convenience and excellent service of a hotel.

Location

Located in the quiet valley of Vale de Parra, the apartment complex is just a taxi ride away from the popular resort of Albufeira with its excellent shops, restaurants, nightlife and picturesque old town.

Golfers looking for a holiday on the Algarve should look no further – the Jardins Vale de Parra Hotel lies close to the Salgados Golf Course, and is also close to the picturesque Albufeira Marina, which is growing as a tourist resort and boasts some decent drinking and dining options.

Amenities

The 104 apartments that make up the complex all have a modern, tasteful design and are designed to be comfortable and practical as well as attractive.

Each air conditioned apartment boasts satellite TV, private bathroom, a microwave, fridge, kettle, toaster, washing machine, iron and ironing board, whilst a daily maid service ensures the rooms are kept spick and span. Internet access and laundry services are available to guests at an extra cost. Several of the rooms have direct access to the scenic gardens and pools of the attractive modern complex.

The resort is around six miles from Albufeira where guests will find plenty of opportunity for exploring and shopping by day and drinking and dining by night. The nearest beach is just two kilometres away, but guests may well find they are happy to just relax in the attractive grounds of the hotel and soak up the warm Algarve sun. The outdoor area of the complex features three saltwater pools – one for children. A poolside bar serves drinks and snacks, and is an ideal meeting point on balmy summer evenings.

A further bar stays open until the small hours, with entertainment laid on nightly during the summer months. Those with a love of the great outdoors might want to take advantage of the opportunity to hire bicycles or arrange horse riding and pony trekking excursions, whilst boating and fishing are on offer at the marina and a range of watersports can be arranged at the nearby beaches. Before setting off, guests can enjoy a delicious buffet breakfast of fresh fruits, breads, meats and cereals.

Further Activities

In and around the Albufeira region of the Algarve lie beaches where the sands are fine and soft, and the clear turquoise seas are backed by rocks and red cliffs. Taking a drive along the Algarve coast, visitors will encounter wonderfully relaxed fishing villages and endless sandy beaches, whilst heading a few miles inland will allow guests at the Jardin Vale de Parra hotel to discover green hills, unspoilt Algarve towns and villages and trees laden with oranges, lemons, almonds, figs.and countless other fresh and tasty treats.

Hiring a bicycle or horseriding are two great ways to see the area, whilst car hire is a good bet for longer excursions. The slow pace of life in the Algarve, together with the beautiful scenery, makes driving in the area a pleasure in itself. A must for any tourist staying at the Jardin Vale de Parra hotel is a trip to Albufeira town, where modern tourist facilities lie side by side with centuries-old cobbled squares and windy streets. Once a quiet fishing resort, the town’s gorgeous location and terrific beaches have led to it becoming one of the most popular tourist results on the Algarve coast of Portugal.

The town is split into two distinct halves – the New Town and the historic Old Town. In the old town, tourists will find a maze of pedestrianised cobbled streets, surrounding the town’s picturesque main square. The square and surrounding streets are lined with lively bars and simple restaurants serving delicious fish caught that day by the fishing boats that depart from Fisherman’s Beach. By contrast, the New Town offers modern shops, supermarkets, bars, discos and nightclubs. This is the area to head for if you want to party until the sun comes up – especially the famous Strip, with its late night bars and clubs. Of course, no coastal town on the Algarve is complete without its beach, and a steep downhill path in Albufeira leads to the beautiful Praia da Oura (Beach of Gold). Albufeira is easily reached on foot, bicycle or by public footpath during the day, and is a quick taxi ride from the hotel at night.
