Best Sao Bras de Alportel Hotels

A very good hotel, it is a palace itself, with a beautiful environment! But the location is slightly off, on a hill. Great view overlooking Faro! The hotel service is very good and the room is very big. We live on the 0th floor. There are often kittens coming outside the big balcony. They are so cute! Clean and comfortable, it is the best hotel we have stayed in in Spain and Portugal. breakfast is also ok! The hotel also has two swimming pools. There is a very thoughtful children's pool that is only 50cm, which is great!

This our fifth stay at this hotel and it never fails to impress. The rooms are spacious, the breakfast is exceptional and all the staff are wonderful. The hotel is not by the sea but inland about a 10 minute drive - Faro airport is about 20 minutes away, which makes it a quiet place to relax and unwind. We would recommend eating in the restaurant at night as the menu is varied and beautifully presented. All together an outstanding hotel: a real gem.

We had an exceptional stay at Viceroy. Very welcoming, every person in the hotel was friendly and helpful. We stayed at Tivoli Carvoeiro and had a not so nice welcome so this made us wish we were back at Viceroy at Ombria where we felt at home. The rooms are beautiful, the golf course is probably one of the best and enjoyable we have played at. The breakfasts were generous with the best bread and pastry selection. The restaurant has a great selection of dishes and their own pizza oven. I recommend the pizza, very delicious. A knowledgeable sommelier helped us taste some really tasty wines. I would definitely recommend and we will return next year for sure!

I saw in the ”hot hotel” comments that I find very suitable, because there is no room for hosting, codes heard by message to share the codes of access to the room where a key is for the rest of the stay. The main negative point is the acoustic of this place, which I will not qualify as a hotel, since during our 5-night stay, We have not had room service (unwashed boxes, unchanged lingerie, unfair bed, idem in the common parts); it is no more a guest room without a guest. To return to acoustics, we heard the neighbors from all sides, as if they were with us in the room. The same thing for the toilets; the door of the climbing even beautiful allows us to hear everything that happens in the bathroom from the room. Nice decoration but banking ... all furniture must be warmed because they are not stable, painted furniture prevents closing the drawers because the paint is crochet, so we could hear neighbors put their clothes up at 2 a.m. The ZARA products (douche freezer, cream for hands, smell spreader) that showed some care in place, and we wish you to share these common parts with clean people. and knowing to make and set the vessels ...

This is a lovely hotel. A great location in the hills, beautiful and quiet. Surrounded by orange, lemon and olive trees, with fab views and gardens to sit in quiet corners. The rooms are comfortable and immaculately clean. The pool area, the same. The animals are a nice touch, with a donkey, some sheep, peacocks and turtles. And cats wandering around the gardens. All of that makes this a nice place to stay. But the star of this hotel, for us, was the restaurant, the quality of the food and the fantastic staff. From the sweetest, juiciest oranges and figs from the gardens for breakfast, to Algarvian fish stew for dinner, to local specialities like Cataplan, the quality of the food is very high. The staff of this hotel are of course very professional, but they also give a lovely personal service. They are so helpful, friendly and kind. Everyone goes the extra mile to make people feel welcome. Special thanks from us go to Pedro, the restaurant manager, and Miguel and Sofia. Making people feel special, as you do, is not easy, but it makes a huge difference to your guests. Thank you for a lovely holiday!

The hotel is situated a short walk from the centre of Loule. It is a nice, clean hotel with lovely decor and friendly staff. Our room was big, clean and comfortable. The breakfast had a wide variety of choice and was tasty. The only real drawback is the view from our room was uninspiring. Overall, I would definitely stay again and would recommend it.

If you're looking for a great place to chill Herdade da Corte is where you need to go. A Rio Grande style and feel about it, surrounded by fabulous hilly views, orange, lemon trees, olive groves, and pure adulterated silence. You hear the whisper of the breeze throughout the outdoor areas which have casual seating dotted about, a sweeping view, and a to die for salt-water pool. If you want 5 star service and a butler this isn't the place for you! Our favourite time of the day was a leisurely hour and half munching our way through the buffet breakfast, consisting of 4 different freshly made juices, a good selection of local produce, bread, rolls, pastries and cake, cheese, cold meats, fruits, yoghurt, and natural cereals - while idly looking out to the hills. There's also an array of teas, and the coffee is via a machine which is good - but goat's milk! We've travelled the world extensively and it's rare to find such a place. If you want to jazz up your time there Tavira is charming, along with Tavira Island. You do need a car if you stay at Herdade and want to visit many areas, however, we had read other reviews and knew that - but we just wanted to relax there and do nothing! We stayed 4 days and did venture out 1 afternoon to a restaurant in St Luzia. Local taxi, very nice driver. 20 euro each way (same prices to Tavira) about 15 minutes journey. The owners Joao and Francisco are cool, interesting guys, very helpful, and knowledgeable about the area , local produce, wines, and activities to do there - hiking, etc. Good massage also available in relaxing room. €50 Personally speaking, we dossed (an English word for lazing about) around the pool , helping ourselves to the well-stocked honesty bar, with the occasional beer/glass of wine, absorbed in a few good crime novels. Please note: after breakfast there is NO food available until 7pm. We knew that and brought along our own snacks, nuts etc. The evening menu is mainly cold, very good local produce - oh, please try the prawns (they hot). We tried almost everything on the menu during our stay - couldn't fault anything. My husband arrived completely knackered (another old-school word for tiredness) and after almost 4 days rooted to the place said he felt like the Six Million Dollar Man! Thank you Herdades, we will be back. Hayley & Alan UK
