Top Santa Maria Hotel Reviews

Monchique Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Great value deal off-season & mid-week, looks quite new. Amenities & cleanliness actually score closer to 4.5 if more precise, due some nitpicks (at least one was easily fixable). Mountain gives beautiful views - terrace is a great place to eat breakfast/a la carte restaurant meals from (covered for shade). Included breakfast buffet great, totally worth it - choice of fruit/cereals/muesli/cooked breakfast (good), several fruit juices/coffee, milk choices including lactose-free milk ("sem lactose" in Portuguese) as well as other non-dairy "milk"s without a special request. Reception spoke enough/good English. Went extra mile when mentioned was my wife's birthday one evening, came out with a little cake with candles (like a big brownie + pretty, decorative icing), plus left another in our room's fridge. Pools are lovely (though covered outdoor warm one was full of little dark-coloured bits of perhaps the wooden boards around/stuff from between the ridges there). So much across 3 linked blocks (A, B, C) with numerous floors but because of all the corridors & going up/down levels in lifts or stairs to move across them to get to the different facilities, can feel like a rabbit warren. But a well signed one (except one area exiting a lift/stairs I ended up unsure which way to go). Nit-picks: - Missing corkscrew/sharp knives, maid got 1 (said should've had, maybe unchecked between guests). - Hairs on shower wall - Limiting fridge layout (removed shelves for wine/any carton)"

Villa Eira

10/10 Excellent

"Loved it. Very friendly and professional"

Monte da Bemposta,

10/10 Excellent

"Simple but tasty breakfast. Really kid-friendly."

Quinta Do Moinho De Vento Duna Parque Resorts & Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"An excellent bed and breakfast style hotel. The staff is friendly and warm. The breakfast is good."

Herdade Do Touril

8/10 Good

"A lovely respite during our walk along the Fisherman's Trail. Everything was great, other than our accommodations were across the road from the main building. After walking for hours and miles, that extra distance was disappointing. Other than the initial golf cart ride with our luggage to the room, we had to walk back and forth to pool, dinner, and breakfast. Five stars for everything else!"

HS Milfontes Beach Hotel - Duna Parque Resorts & Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"Location is absolute top tier - very kind staff, highly recommend."

Monte das Alpenduradas

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely place"

Quinta do Canal

8/10 Good

"There is no lobby. You are emailed a code and room number. My code was emailed 1 hour after my check in time. Fortunately we found a helpful staff member that helped us and got us into the room. Hotel was nice. Rooms do not have a mini fridge so keeping things cold like medicine is a problem. Breakfast was really good. Location is close enough to town and is safe."

In Portugal, Algarve, large villa in Monchique, swimming pool, sauna, Jacuzzi

10/10 Excellent

"This is such a lovely villa in a quiet, beautiful part of Portugal. If you're looking for sleek and modern this won't be for you but if you're looking for rustic charm then you've come to the right place. The villa is quirky and spotlessly clean with a beautiful deep pool and endless fruit-filled gardens. The villa has everything you need and Eulalila was so very helpful. Both coasts are within easy reach by car and there are beautiful walks nearby. We would definitely come back."
