  Negative experience, unfriendly and pompous staff.

  The 2 older males who work here are very unfriendly, unwelcoming, and a bad representation of the business. Myself and my partner entered, got pointed to a table and ignored. Whether the staff are homophobic- I don’t know, but certainly not a good look for Vila Ventura. We both ordered risotto, which was bland, flavourless, and far too hot to try to eat. After leaving it for 10 minutes it was stil… Read moreThe 2 older males who work here are very unfriendly, unwelcoming, and a bad representation of the business.

  Nice hotel in a lacklustre location

  Quiet location and quite remote. Definitely need a car to explore this area and beyond. Hotel is clean and tidy with regular daily cleaning service. Reception staff are polite, friendly and very helpful. Hotel grounds are very limited with no outside public areas or gardens. Canico is not the most attractive place with lots of concrete, even around the beach front. Parking is very sparse around th… Read moreQuiet location and quite remote.

  Despite covid restrictions we had a lovely holiday.

  We stayed for 4'weeks over Xmas and New Year. The staff were all excellent especially the receptionists. Our return flight was cancelled and they all helped us with forms and getting a covid test.

  Not so friendly

  The place looks cozy, better than all the bright-light restaurants. The food was not bad, but the service is crap! Waiters that place food on your table on their way to another table, no single friendly word. We didn’t feel welcome! This is the first time in my life I didn’t leave a tip.The place looks cozy, better than all the bright-light restaurants. The food was not bad, but the service is crap!

  From cleaners to management, brilliant people

  We stayed from March into Easter (April) 2018 and loved it. We did not want to go home. The restaurant is in a lovely outdoor setting with good service. Fantastic barbecue and oven. Our room (no 10 ) had a spacious terrace looking out with glimpses of the sea and a steakhouse across the road which also has a dramatic outside area on the cliffs. Room spotless, linen changed every day if wanted. Bus… Read moreWe stayed from March into Easter (April) 2018 and loved it. We did not want to go home.
