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!
