The property is historic and wonderfully decorated. The owner is an artist. The main house/ 2nd floor is like a museum filled with the owners paintings, btw he is so nice and down to earth.

Charming & historic
Despite reading earlier encouraging reviews the hotel surpassed our expectations. Small hotel, about 30 bedrooms. Undoubted character of history & culture in the buildings and furnishings. Friendly & obliging staff. You can have a personal tour round the original buildings and its story.
Opened in 2022 is the impressive Crista Galli restaurant for evenings. Daily housekeeping except Sundays.
Disabled access would be worth enquiring on.

Incredible stay!
This guesthouse is such a special place! The house and grounds are absolutely beautiful, so tranquil and lush! The breakfast room is adorable. So fun wandering around the house and seeing all of the artifacts from all around the world as well. We found the location to be perfect for exploring both the area more west in the Algarve (7 hanging valleys trail, benagil) and east (Tavira, Faro) as it is pretty centrally located. The staff was absolutely wonderful as well, I cannot say enough good things! We had an issue with our arrival time and ended up getting in much later than expected, and the staff was so understanding and helpful. I would highly highly recommend this place!! Its a hidden gem!

Qurky but nice
A unique experience! A bit like spending some overnight time in a well kept museum. But it was a nice place to be and if in the area again it is a hotel we would return to. The rooms were quirky but clean with old stile furniture and artefacts in room and around the area. Breakfast good. Staff friendly. Pool area magnificent.. All in all a real one off!

charming and unique
This hotel is a work in progress. ..charming and unique....but not a building site..lovely unheated pool. Wonderful as a base or for total casual relaxation.
Currently only serves breakfast..huge continental spread..gorgeous. small 'fridge in room means you can keep food fresh if you go shopping and want lunch. A kettle might be nice.
Traditional Portuguese solid buildings with beautiful Moriccan style lamps everywhere, lots of wrought iron and heavy wood, with many artefacts from other countries.
Aldi is a few hundred yards walking distance in one direction and the tiny village with it's lovely little restaurants a bit further away in the other. The streets are quite steep and cobbled. ....but we managed it even post hip surgery 5 months ago.
You can always get a taxi...leave your car at the hitel!

Tranquil Hotel in lovely Mediterranean gardens.
This is an excellent hotel. Located just off Armacao De Pera, which allows it to be tranquil within its beautiful and peaceful Mediterranean gardens. It has a fantastic swimming pool within the garden areas. Breakfast is given within a beautifully furnished building. The bedrooms are located in a separate building which has been tastefully decorated with North African fittings and ornaments. Making this is one of my favourite hotels in the Algarve.

So peaceful
Such a lovely hotel with so many interesting pieces of decoration and furniture around. Pool area is lovely and there was never a problem getting a sunbed. The only downfall is that we ended up spending a lot on taxis into the town or beach and back again as there is Very little in that area. But the hotel was always perfectly peaceful.

Peaceful hotel
Loved this hotel. The main building has loads of character with lots of interesting bits on furniture to look at. The pool area was really clean. Lovely peaceful place to chill by the pool and soak up the sunshine. What topped it off for me was all the amazing olive trees in the grounds, truly beautiful! The breakfast was varied, lots of delicious things to fill you up for a day of exploring the algarve. Would stay here again!

Nice stay for being away from the hustle and bustle of most of the Algarve... Only a short ride to nice beaches. Hotel has a WONDERFUL breakfast. Large rooms. The beds and bedding leave something to be desired as they were not very comfortable.

Beautiful hotel full of culture
Quite stay, plenty of space, beautiful rooms and garden full of centuries old olive trees. Alcantarilha is a charming village with a great case de pasto and a beautiful old church. Angel, the proprietor of the hotel, is warm and hospitable and willing to share his love of Portugal with guests.
