Caneiros Luxury House & Suites

Fantastic small boutique hotel just five minutes walk from the beach. Really relaxed vibe, extremely peaceful, and great service. Also, breakfast is excellent, and the pool very picturesque and refreshing in the Algarve heat - never was unable to get a sunbed.

This is an amazing hotel, one of the best we've ever stayed in. The hotel is spotless and our room (suite) was large with a huge balcony and a distant seaview. There's a spa and a small but well-equipped gym and the outdoor pool is perfect for the long hot summer days. I've seen other reviews saying that there aren't enough sun loungers around the pool but there were always some available when we wanted them. We had breakfast outside each morning overlooking the pool and countryside. Service is at the table and, surprisingly, wasn't a buffet as it was cooked to order; there's a really good choice of food from cereals, fruits, pastries, bread, cheese, cold meats, cooked food. Other food is available throughout the day, with a good selection of snacks and lighter lunches although the choice is a bit limited in the evening. We ate in a few times in the evening and it was great quality and very tasty but you will want to try other local restaurants. There's a few within 15 minutes walk of the hotel and we do recommend the seafood restaurant at the local beach (also owned by the hotel). It's not cheap but it is top quality seafood. The hotel is located on the edge of Ferragudo. The nearest beach is busy but beautiful and is about 5 minutes walk. It takes about 30 minutes to walk into the centre of Ferragudo. We were advised to download the Uber app and it cost about €5 to travel to the centre ( well worth it in our opinion). Good local excursions included a boat trip to see the caves (stunning) and a visit to local vineyards (we enjoyed a recommendation to Arvad). I've saved the best bit till last; the hotel was lovely but the thing that really made it exceptional for us was the staff. They are so professional and so friendly. Everyone was so helpful and welcoming. Whether it was barstaff, cleaners, reception etc didn't matter as everyone would greet you with a friendly smile and a cheerful hello (or Bom Dia!). I will mention some staff. At breakfast, Ana, Bruno and Claudia were brilliant, you really felt like they wanted the best for everyone. A special mention goes to Alexandre who we regularly saw in the afternoons and evenings. We really enjoyed our conversations with him and his knowledge of local vineyards and wines. He even researched and listed local vineyards for us and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Arvad Vineyard (recommended by Alex). Overall, we loved our 10 nights at this wonderful hotel. If we ever visit this part of the Algarve again then we will definitely be looking to return here.

Definitely check this place out! This is an amazing hotel that is just footsteps from the beach. The staff is very helpful, and our guest room is huge and nicely decorated.
