The villa was spacious, well-equipped with all amenities, and conveniently located just a short walk from the beach. The reception staff were very helpful and provided useful information for first-time visitors to the area. The property features a lovely pool, sauna, and restaurant, with beautiful ocean views from the patio and terrace. It is also situated right along the famous Seven Hanging Valleys Trail. The only issue during our stay was an unexpected water shut-off on both days. We would have appreciated prior notice so we could prepare accordingly. Overall, our stay was very enjoyable and relaxing.

Old property. The kitchen door handle was broken. The bathroom tap kept dripping, no soap in kitchen. Frayed old towels. Baed room AC started dripping water on day 2 and had to shut it off. Lady at the reception unhelpful and made comments about too many tourists. Overall, not recommended.

The washing machine was half filled with dirty water that smelled horrible. The entire room and hallway smelled. We got over this issue and the inability to wash our clothes midway through our trip but then the roaches started running around our room and we were done. The front desk did move use to a new unit at 1130pm for which we were thankful.

Wonderful tiny apartment. Very quiet area , super clean and kind staff. Parking right outside our door for the rental made coming and going a breeze. Oh!! And… there are 2 balconies!! Beds are extra firm but we loved it and rooms are decorated nicely and appear on the newer side. We loved our stay here, conveniently located close to a beach town (5 min away), Benagil caves ( 10 minute drive)). Well worth it! We will be back!

I liked using this hotel as my base for many activities. I could walk to the beginning of the Seven Hanging Valleys Trail in about ten minutes by heading east. The views are spectacular. I could walk ten minutes west to get to an excellent place for breakfast or lunch "Earth Shop and Cafe." We had a car so we could also do outings, for example, Praia Nova (for the beach and the lovely chapel on the cliffs), and Silves for the castle and the storks by the river as you enter the town.

Very small bathroom & shower

Check in was very quick. We asked fro a ground floor unit and they changed it for us. Once in the unit, it was fine but there were no blinds on front kitchen window and the bathroom was extremely small. The stove was hard to operate and we never figured out the wash machine. The entire property was clean but dated and the hotel next door was under a complete reno. Staff at the property were very courteous but very limited English.

Nice lodging units. We got upgraded to a 2 bedroom unit. The exteriors looks amazing. The interiors are awesome. The kitchen had everything you need, including a dishwasher and a washing machine. The pool looked amazing. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Many people were in resort for long stay and repeated customers. They had their own restaurant but were not far away from downtown full of restaurants and shopping.
