9.4/10 Exceptional! (331 reviews)

A beautifully situated and well appointed boutique hotel graced with courteous, efficient, multilingual staff. The pool and decking is framed with magnificent Mediterranean pines and rosemary. Gym is well equipped and the breakfast buffet abundant. Bedlinen is the finest, softest most silken cotton and the pillows provide a sweet slumber. Clientele in July was a mix of Portuguese ( a good sign when you stay in a country that its own people choose it) and some English, Irish and Italians. Guests were mostly well behaved.

We had a hassle on check in based on number in our party even though the room could easily accommodate us. The beds were hard and we didn’t get our queen bed. Towels weren’t the cleanest. Pool area was nice. Villa space was great as was the view
