Fortaleza de Sagres played a key defensive role over the years. Now a historic site, you can just imagine some of the scenes its mighty walls have witnessed.

To visit this history-filled fortress, find your way to Vila do Bispo. There are plenty of other interesting attractions in the area, like Cape St. Vincent Lighthouse, Martinhal Beach, and Sagres Fortress.

8/10 Very Good! (624 reviews)

Thank you Grand Muchu Oura View Club. For a pleasant stay and enjoyable holiday. I got in contact with the hotel prior to arriving as our flight arrived in Faro early in the morning. This was excellently acknowledged and our early check into the hotel was fully accomodated. My travelling party needed the extra support and this was honoured by the reception team. Communication with the hotel upon arrival and throughout our stay was very pleasant. Even when we had issues with the light in the room, it was promptly dealt with. Ok, food options were slightly limited but we had 5 different restaurant options which meant we were not bored. The location is fab and met our needs. Cleaning was on point and staff were very accomodating. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks again. 😊

9/10 Wonderful! (599 reviews)

Booked a studio apartment last minute for 3 nights. Smart hotel, good security. Very friendly staff. Lovely pools as well as an indoor pool. Comfortable outdoor area. Spacious well equipped room, we did end up in a disabled room despite full fitness! Did feel if you were disabled there was only a shower over the bath which was quite high to get into, not a problem for us though. Had a nice meal in the lovely restaurant. Good parking.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (149 reviews)

Lovely tranquil location, but not difficult to find. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was large, very clean, with a very good en-suite that had an excellent shower. Outdoor heated swimming pool was a bonus and was open for around 12 hours each day. Grounds were well kept, with several nice places to sit and relax in front of some spectacular views. More work is being done to add extra children's play areas. Nice restaurant and bar area. Around a ten minute drive to Tavira, so close enough to other bars and restaurants as/when these might be needed. On the down side, breakfast was a little limited and lacked variety, especially for someone with dietary constraints, but what was there was always fresh. Bed was a little on the firm side for both of us. Overall, a very nice, well-run hotel in which to spend a relaxing holiday. 4.5/5
