AP Eva Senses
We were so happy to swim in the indoor heated pool and the lovely warm sauna was perfect after a day of exploring the old town. The breakfast we received as we waited for our taxi to the airport was delicious . Perfect location, great staff, comfortable bed!

Pedras d'el Rei

The Patio Suite Hotel
I loved this hotel I wasn't expecting to have a full apartment absolutely over the moon and a balcony so happy. The only thing that went wrong was the shower and hot water kept turning off but we loved every second. I would stay at the hotel again and again.
