We only stayed one night but we loved everything about Grand House! Such a beautiful and unique boutique hotel. The rooms are cozy and inviting, and the beds very comfortable with nice linens. The staff at the beach club and restaurant was excellent and very accommodating. A must-stop on your Algarve trip!

The property is very nice and clean and breakfast was fantastic. The beach club is about a 3 minute drive, and is very peaceful. They close at 5pm, which is really early. The sun is still beaming until 8pm. It would have been nice to not feel rushed out of there, especially since there isn’t a ton of things to do in the evening. You basically are stationed at the hotel. The area needs more restaurants. Definitely a little sleepy of a town, but worth a night. We stayed two, and it was one too many. The shopping is great. Nice Portuguese pottery and other authentic items for cheap.

Top notch service. Breakfast was outstanding. Food at the Beach Club also excellent. Would highly recommend. Caution: if using a US credit card be warned they forced us to pay in US dollars instead of euros, thus paying a higher exchange rate that someone made money from - and they told us that we were charged in euros although the receipts said otherwise. We were not offered the machine to process payments - the employee did it.

Grand house was so impressive from the arrival and seeing the exterior of this remarkable building to the welcome and all interactions with the team. The daily gifts were lovely and fresh oranges supplied throughout. Breakfast was superb with views across the river. Thank you for his amazing experience

Lovely hotel in quaint location. Loved the beach club as well. Note that this is in a very quiet part of the Algarve - it is peaceful but not “hustle bustle.”

Nice place
Tim was small but comfortable. Enjoyed the town and hotel. Their Beach Club closed at 5 which was a total bummer. I think they keep it open later doing the high season. It’s about a 10 min ride in their shuttle. 30 min by bike, which are available free of charge at the hotel. There’s a great bike riding area through a forest. Breakfast was lovely. Staff was very kind and helpful.

Thought the bathroom facilities were skimpy as Relais's go generally! Fell badly off bottom stair outside the dining room as last stair coming down outside the dining room blends into the wood floor and not visible in bad light Last stair requires marking with light edge to avoid a future bad accident

Howard

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service
This property was very disappointing on many fronts. First, the room was fine and clean, but despite that we had booked a suite, it was very small, and the bathroom was extremely small for a suite. The shower stall had a major flaw in that the shower head did not come out far enough from the wall, so you had to lean against the wall to get your head wet. They also had large glass dispensers in the shower for shampoo and conditioner, which is extremely dangerous. We were so worried we would drop them as they were just sitting on a glass shelf. Our biggest complaint was about the bar service or lack thereof. There are only two tables in the bar, plus the living room which only seats 4 people, so it was not an issue of too busy. The bartender had no idea what he was doing
