8.4/10 Very Good! (50 reviews)

Villa Alto is a lovely old house set high up in the hills above Ponta do Sol. With beautiful views. You will definitely need a hire car. The Staff are wonderful and work very hard to make you feel welcome. The breakfast is amazing, all freshly made from scratch. Sadly there was no dinner service available during our stay. Our room (no 9)was small and needed some TLC. The weather during our stay was stormy and the room was cold and damp. The curtains were stained and hanging from the rails. The sash windows need attention/replacement as all three were exposed to the wind and rain. We would definitely return to Villa Alto and hope for better weather.

Rooms and site were clean. Parking at casino is $12€ per day and no in and out privileges. Cleaning staff came in and cleaned our room on day 3 even though we had do not disturb sign up. Blow dryer in our room broke. We called 4 times, went to the front desk and it was never fixed. Eventually on day 3 they brought us a plug in one. Beautiful spot… staff service leaves something to be desired.

Absolutely breathtaking property. Staff were wonderful, room, shower, and bed were large. Biggest breakfast I've seen in a hotel/ resort ever with made-to-order options, easy parking, good location. Laundry service was available but priced per item. No A/C but with windows open and a fan was not bad even at end of August. Highly recommend- one of our best stays ever.
