"We had a wonderful stay at this remote farm hotel. Everything was lovely from start to finish. The accommodation was spotless, comfortable, and very well looked after. The peaceful surroundings made it the perfect place to relax and unwind, with beautiful countryside views and a real sense of tranquillity. It was a great escape from the hustle and bustle, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. We would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing getaway and would happily...

"The vibe was so calm and relaxing. The breakfasts had a huge variety of food, and were tasty. The beds were less firm than usual Portuguese standards, but quite firm by UK standards. The pool was a delightful respite from daily life and as it was quiet, we often had the whole space to ourselves. The staff were lovely. The local town was a bit quiet, and developing in tourism. But the hotel offered free bikes to go and explore. A lovely place to stay for deep relaxation over a long weekend, and...

Top Santa Maria Hotel Reviews

Monte do Cardal

8/10 Good

"The scenery at the location is breathtaking. It’s located close to the coastline and beach area. Although, it’s a little farther from the highway (almost 1.5 hr), it has plenty of restaurants. Not to much of anything else. Staff was friendly but not helpful communicating. For example, they advertised laundry facilities. When I asked about the location of the laundry, a lady offered to help. She specifically said, I would do it for free. We waited about 3 hours to be handled a bag of clothing not completely dry. At the time of checking out we were charged €20 because of the last request and use of dryer. Also, this location doesn’t offer air conditioning. We were sweating all night; not fun. The room only has a small window in the bathroom. We were given a fan that circulated the heat inside the room. Breakfast was great!"

Monte do Alento - Castro da Cola

8/10 Good

"This property is a little oasis hidden away. While a bit tricky to get to as you have to drive on unpaved roads, it's worth it once you get there. The room had everything we needed, and the breakfast was wonderful and included local products. The location is quite rural, however, the closest town (Ourique) was only a 15 minute drive away. It's not a big town by any means, but there were a few restaurant options and a Pingo Doce and an Aldi for groceries. The only thing preventing this from being a 5 star stay was the atmosphere during our stay due to other guests. There happened to be a large family who booked during the same time as us and they completely took over the pool area. As the location is in such a quiet area and there isn't a ton to do, we were looking forward to sitting by the beautiful pool and relaxing in the afternoon. That was tainted by children screaming and jumping into the pool, in addition to them bringing a speaker and playing loud music for hours. They were having a good time and the property is family friendly so perhaps our fault for not inquiring, but if you're looking for a quiet getaway, this may not be the place to book. While it wasn't the stay we were hoping for, the staff and accommodation itself was wonderful."

"Was just as expected. 6 PM Check in was tough after long day hiking fisherman’s trail. Friendly staff."

Villa Termal Spa Hotel – Villa Termal Spa Resort

8/10 Good

"Finding the reception was a challenge as Google maps brought us to the Spa. Check in was simple and easy with very pleasant staff. We had a lovely stay and the termal spa was delightful, again with helpful and pleasant staff. The grounds of the resort are lovely with a lot of old broadleaf trees. The grounds are in need of a complete clean up and Maintenance. It's a pity because the walk up to the Fonte dos Amores is so lovely and peaceful. Breakfast is Fab with great choice for everyone."

HS Milfontes Beach Hotel - Duna Parque Resorts & Hotels

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in an excellent spot overlooking the beach. It’s particularly lovely at sunset the breakfast was excellent and the staff are very helpful. The actual room was clean and hygienic. The only issue we had is that the hotel looks worn out it needs to uplift, painting and show an element of modernisation. Overall we enjoyed our day."

Hotel Alcatruz

10/10 Excellent

"Nice room and breakfast"

Enigma - Nature & Water Hotel

8/10 Good

"Cet hôtel charme d'emblée par son architecture et son design intérieur particulièrement réussis. Toutefois, le plaisir du séjour est en partie atténué par quelques faiblesses au niveau de l'entretien (ex.: problème de climatisation, lampe non fonctionnel, robinetterie qui mériterait d'être resserrée, présence d'algues dans la piscine, etc.). L'établissement possède un cachet indéniable, mais un suivi plus rigoureux de la maintenance lui permettrait de retrouver tout son standing."

Monte da Bemposta,

10/10 Excellent

"Such an amazing place to be in nature and watch tremendous sunsets. Highly recommend"
