Overall the hotel is good. The rooms are clean, service is good and the location is perfect. However Dont be misled by previous reviews. You CANNOT use the pool next door at Casa Mitchel, even though it owned by the same people.

We stayed one night for around £23 including breakfast, free wifi internet in a smallish room with two twin beds pushed together. It has air con and a fridge with a reasonable bathroom with a shower over a very small bath. The hotel is close to The Old Town. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful. She changed breakfast from... More

We arrived at around 8.30pm and were greated by a very nice elderly lady who spoke very good English. As she was waiting on... More

Just returned from a week in Albufeira and a stay in Vila Branca, and couldnt say it was bad but equally couldnt say it was great either. If you are after a cheap week in a good location this is the place, these apartments are family run and owned which is linked to the Casa Mitchell complex on the other... More

Writing a hotel review is difficult because you can't compare the Vila Branca with the MGM Grand like you can't compare a Smart Car to a Hummer. That said, the hotel was a perfect New Years Eve weekend stay for my wife and me. The room which we stayed had 2 beds pushed together, a 13" TV, a mirror, and... More
