"Vila Origens is an amazing find. It is in the heart of the old town of Albufeira, literally built next to the city castle wall, hence their name. Their infinity pool is right next to the 1000 year old castle wall, with a breathtaking view of the village hills. This is a new vila so while the location is ancient, the facility is cutting edge including floor heating in the bathroom which dries up the shower remnants rapidly and leaving the bathroom fresh. The free breakfast buffet consists of an amazing spread of local cheese, cured meats, pastry and fruit, a king’s feast all presented on a nice platter brought to our table. The best part of this place is the staff, particularly Vera who was born in town and a true local and gave us the local view of this old fishing village that has in the last 15 years turned into a hot tourist spot. If you are looking for a boutique resort with all the amenities you can ask for, in the best location of town and a super nice staff, Vila Origens is it! "

"Cute place "

"Picked this area for the beach accessibility and it was perfect. Room was clean and staff daily tidied up the room. The breakfast buffet had a great assortment of food and beverages and staff again were great. If I had to think of one thing that did disappoint it would have to be the slow or missing service in the lobby bar in the evening. If I were to return to the area, I would definitely go back to this hotel. "

"I travelled all the way from Delhi to be with a friend, who was celebrating her 40th birthday. I booked accommodation at the same hotel and booked a ‘Deluxe Suite’ on the topmost floor. AI reached the property at about 9 PM on a Friday evening. After checking in, 'Anna' the lady at the Front Office, helped me lug my rather heavy suitcase the last two floors and unlocked the door for me. The suite was lavish as lavish can be and from another era. The washroom reminded me of ‘The Grand Budapest Hotel’. The terrace was mindbogglingly huge with two sets of loungers and tea tables for two at both end for a cosy conversation and was just the place to soak in the sun and the surf, with endless views of the ocean stretching across the horizon. The video that I am posting along with, hardly does justice to the opulence. After a quick wash up, I reached the in-house restaurant past 10 PM, the closing time. 'Martin', the Barman who happened to be my age exactly, ensured that I get a bite while sipping my drink. Next day was her birthday. At 9.30 PM, after a sumptuous dinner, I realised I had forgotten to let the Property to arrange a small cake for the occasion. I called Jorge, at the Front Office and explained my predicament. He had quietly slipped in the Cake in my room and it was breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you ‘Belver Boa Vista Hotel & Spa’, for being so understanding and allow us to make the most of the occasion. Can’t wait to get back!!"

"Property is dated but that was not important to us. It was clean and we had everything we needed. Views were beautiful but may not be suitable for persons with mobility concerns."

"We stayed here for 4 nights and our stay was great. The staff on reception were so friendly and helpful and greeted us every time with a smile and hello as we were on the same floor. The staff at breakfast and at the bar were also friendly and welcoming. Our room was great with a balcony over looking the pool. The spa treatments were great and value for money was amazing. The only thing to comment on which wasn’t too big an issue was the ‘gym’. An outside area with machines which were weathered and not your usual expectation of a gym. There were lots of reviews commenting about the noise but yeah it was noisy when our balcony door was open but not enough to interrupt our sleep or put us off our stay. Great hotel for location and great facilities with great people that work there."

"Very clean. Good choices for breakfast. Friendly staff. Great location. Would definitely stay here again"

"Excellent place to stay, close to beach and all amenities "

"Good hotel with good location. Need more pillows for the meds though!"
