Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and contained everything we needed, which was superb. The kitchen/sitting room and the bedroom were fantastic, but the design made it a bit challenging to reach the breakfast area. The shower room and bathroom were very comfortable.
My stay at the hotel was incredible. The rooms were spacious, very comfortable, and impeccably clean. I was impressed by the open kitchen layout. However, the lack of views was a little disappointing. Overall, a huge suite with separate lounge, full kitchen facilities, massive balcony with sun loungers, 2 bathrooms, and a separate bedroom made it amazing.
The hotel is a peaceful retreat nestled in the hills of the Algarve, offering a serene ambiance and excellent service. While the self-catering facilities may come at an extra cost, the spacious and well-lit rooms provide a comfortable stay with some great amenities. The location allows for a relaxing escape, though recent fires have affected the surroundings.
