This is a small hotel with small rooms but they have everything you need. The staff was very friendly and they had complimentary cake and port to try before dinner. Close to lots of restaurants and the beach is walkable.

We loved everything about our stay: check in/out experience, the kindness of the property owner, cleanliness of the room, our view, & the delicious breakfast in a cozy atmosphere! As we were doing a multiday hike, we appreciated the flexibility to have a luggage service drop off & pick up our luggage before/after check out. Thank you for our stay!

I’m sorry that we only had 1 night at Guarda Rios. The area is peaceful, we walked the beaches, enjoyed meals in town and relaxed at our B&B. I sincerely hope we can return.

This is a great hotel. We stayed for two nights and got to relax and mill about the town for our first part of our trip in Portugal. The staff is lovely and will give suggestions on where to go and where to eat. You can walk everyplace in the town and to the beaches from the hotel but it is very quiet and you will get a good night sleep. There is no parking, but there is a free lot right behind the hotel that is easy. The town is very nice and lots of great restaurants and shops.

Amazing place to stay

Amazing, what can i say! This is a true home from home. Spotlessly clean, extremely well appointed and the staff were absolutely amazing and so friendly. The food was lovely, including the home made cake which is available 24/7. There was also a selection of local drinks to try as well. Just the best place to stay, and 50 meters from one of the best restaurants in the region.

What a wonderful small hotel! Although it is small in terms of the number of rooms, the room itself was a very nice size and the balcony was a real sized balcony. The hotel is immaculate! The bed was comfortable, the staff was extremely attentive to us, and we loved the breakfast . (Try both the tomato jelly and the pumpkin jelly. Excellent). The hotel is right in the middle of the town, which is totally charming, so everything is convenient to walk to. I would highly, highly recommend this hotel!

We spent 3 nights in an ocean view room with a terrace in June. The view could not be better anywhere in Milfontes, I think. It was really the highlight of our stay. The hotel is among the cleanest I have experienced.I was very impressed. Maria is a lovely host and was always ready to help with anything we asked about. Guarda Rios is near the beaches which is a big plus for us. Our room was tastefully decorated although very small for two people plus our two suitcases. Since this was part of a longer trip for us, maybe it would be easier for travelers without much luggage.
