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.

Lovely lovely property
Great hotel. Nice cozy feel. Loved the beach house down the street. One of the only hotel out of 5 we stayed in that had face clothes. Linens were fabulous, towels, sheets! Oreo the onsite dog was the very best addition to our stay.
