Villa Flor by Villa Plus
A private villa rental via Villa Plus
About this hotel
Villa Flor is let through Villa Plus, a private villa holiday specialist, putting it in a different category from the guesthouses and apartment-hotels that make up most of the near-waterpark cluster around Zoomarine. A private villa rental typically means more space and independence than a standard hotel room, appealing to a larger family or group wanting its own kitchen and living area for a longer stay rather than splitting between several hotel rooms. It sits within the same general area as the closer guesthouses in this list, part of the wider stretch of villas and small stays around Guia that put families within a short ride of the park's gates. Faro Airport access follows the same pattern as the rest of the area, generally a taxi ride of thirty to forty-five minutes or a longer public transport trip, making a rental car the practical choice for getting around during a villa stay.

Our take
This suits a larger family or group wanting the independence of a private villa, through an established operator in Villa Plus, rather than a standard hotel room near Zoomarine. It's a different style of booking than the area's guesthouses and apartment-hotels, generally requiring a longer minimum stay and more advance planning. Families wanting a simpler, shorter booking with hotel-style flexibility should look toward one of the area's guesthouses or apartment-hotels instead.
- ✓Book well ahead if considering a private villa rental, since minimum-stay requirements are typically longer than at a standard hotel.
- ✓Confirm exact villa amenities and layout directly with Villa Plus before booking, since private rentals vary property to property.
- ✓Plan for a rental car for the week, in keeping with most stays in this area of the Algarve.

Why guests love itWe booked Villa Flor through Villa Plus for the independence a private villa offers, useful with three kids and a lot of pool towels to manage after Zoomarine days. Having our own kitchen and living space made evenings easier than shuttling between hotel rooms would have been. It required more advance planning than a standard hotel booking, a longer minimum stay, more logistics to confirm directly, but for a full week near the park it gave us room to actually spread out.
