Algarve Hotel Guide. Pousadas de Portugal Hotels in Algarve, Portugal

Spacious, quiet and beautiful hotel in a former convent. Tastefully and sympathetically converted, peaceful gardens and pool, beautiful open courtyard. Some of the best dining in town. Staff were exemplary, friendly and highly skilled. Wifi was good and male parking for guests. Very highly recommended.

The Algarve has everything to offer in the Spring, good weather, great scenery (wild flowers), great beaches. A great place for a relaxing holiday.

On the positive side: the grounds, the views and the hotel looks are beautiful. Also plenty of fresh fruit for breakfast. The service, however, stains the impression of the hotel starting from unwelcoming receptionist and finishing with waiters. We stayed for 4 days and only on the last morning waiter asked us whether we wanted tea or coffee. She brought the wrong order and when I said to her it was wrong she rolled her eyes in irritation! Overall breakfast was a mess, they constantly run out of food and it would take ages to bring replacement. Food at the reataurant is not great either. And when I asked the waiter what would be the ingredients of fruit and veg salad, he replied: "just normal fruit and veg!" Food is tasteless and you will find much better outside.
