  Excellent all round

  15 Feb 2026

  We stayed 10 nights as a group of 10 people doing recreational activities in the Algarve. We also stayed here for 2 nights in September 25. Rooms/apartments were great with a restaurant & bar on site. Food was amazing and well thought out to provide us with a true taste of Portuguese cuisine. Patricia & Catia couldn't be more helpful with everything we needed. Great value for money, quiet location close to Luz and easy to get around. Highly recommended 👌

  Quiet small complex, relaxing week.

  08 Jul 2024

  My partner and I stay here for the first week of July 2024. We informed the hotel that we would be arriving late as it is not manned 24hrs a day. Prompt response from hotel and received a WhatsApp message to inform when we arrived, a member of staff arrived within 5 minutes to show us to our apartment. It is a small complex of 16ish apartments. Keycoded electric gate for easy access day and night, ample carpark.We stayed in number 15, one bedroom, large, clean apartment, with a reasonable equipped, kitchenette (bring basics no shop on site, water etc), Bath with shower over bath and comfortable king size bed. Plenty of storage space and a safe in wardrobe and good size balcony. All apartment overlook pool, which was a tad fresh when we stayed but weather had not been great in previous weeks so did warm up with more hours of sun. The complex is quiet with lovely garden. Staff were very friendly and helpful, anything required can be asked at reception or via WhatsApp if not manned, prompt response to any message. It is a 30 minute hilly walk to luz but the hotel team will order a taxi with a company they have an agreement with, we used this service one early evening costing €5.50 late evening and return journey of €7.50, very reliable and professional service. Continental breakfast was included, hot choice of food, varied choice for small hotel. Evening meals can be ordered.We had a car for the week, good base to explore, luz has many good resturants , cafes and shops. All the staff were happy and friendly and I would happily stay here again.Thankyou to the manager and her team... we had a great week.

  Chilled break

  27 Oct 2022

  We had a great time, very relaxing. Catia & Patericia (hope we have spelt name correctly) made sure any concerns we had were dealt with quickly and efficently. Staff work hard, lovely breakfast each morning and great coffee!! Had an evening meal which we requested before 4pm and chose from menu delivered to our room. We arrived at the restaurant and enjoyed a few drinks before being served mouth watering lamb type of casserole (best meal of the holiday) and good red wine. We did not have a car but walked to Espiche, bus service available but check times especially during off season. Bus to Lagos, spent a day visiting the Old Town with great and varied shops. Luz beach picturesque, had a wonderful short break people friendly and helpful. Location very peaceful and taxi service reasonable price.

  Superb hotel and outstanding staff

  22 Aug 2022

  The place is nice and remote and very peaceful. We stayed here during the first week of August. The staff work hard and they look after their guests. It’s obvious they take pride and it really shows. The rooms can vary, some are very nice, especially near the pool. They are more like studio rooms and very spacious. Both rooms we had also had a TV and a fridge.Quite a few reviews mention having a car. I recommend this, I thought I could get away without a car hire but later regretted it. Although saying that Bolt, Uber and FreeNow were great apps for cabs and the fares were crazy cheap. There is a 30 min walk to get to the beach, just check Apple/Google maps (we ignored the ‘private’ sign as it was a public path anyway :PPros:- Wonderful staff- Peaceful location- Beautiful scenery - Amazing pool- Excellent rooms (ones we had 1 and 2)- Breakfast was ok- Manager lady is super helpful- Air-con- Fridge (for nice cold drinks)- Secure gated accessCons:- You need a car ideally- Some rooms didn’t look too great- Breakfast was ok - No dinner (although we did find out there was dinner if you asked, they would tell you what was available that evening)- No shops for quite a distance (if no car)I know I listed some cons, but they are more of guidance to take precautions like hire a car, get snacks and drinks from the local Spar, etc..I loved our stay here, it was wonderful.

  Relaxing Getaway

  30 Jan 2021

  We booked this self catering apartment with the idea of relaxing, not leaving the place and to cook indoors (due to Covid). Place easy to find & 5 mint drive to Praia da Luz. Plenty of parking inside and check-in was quick (not much info given though). We stayed in room 14 which is a 1 bed apt over looking the complex & pool. No major issues with the apartment. We stayed in the winter but in the summer the large balcony will be great (could do with 2 x sun loungers). We booked breakfast for the 2 nights which was great and brought to our apt ever morning. Just a couple of things to mention, free Wi-Fi worked fine, no info in the room regarding anything, had a phone but no number of the reception, emergency number, etc, air con worked well on heat (in both living room & bedroom), kitchen needs to be better equipped for cooking and due to Covid-19 I would have liked that there had been some / any info in the apt regarding rules, etc in the room. No gel for your hands, masks, nothing. Overall great & cheap 2 night getaway. We would return.
