Stayed here for 2 nights while hiking the Fishermans Trail in 2019. The room itself is basic and quite small but if you have been hiking 20+kms per day who cares! The breakfast was outstanding and one that I will remember as being up there in terms of quality and just good freshness. The family vibe is lovely and relaxing and nice to enjoy a beer in the nice shaded outdoor area. We got our washing done here which was a relief as we were nearing the end of our 140km hike.
We stayed two nights.
Pros: Beautiful outdoor garden area to relax, listen to nice music or eat (outdoor tables and chairs).
Clothesline. Fridge for common guest use. Pleasant lounge area with books and TV. Nice indoor dining area as well. Free wifi which works inside and in your room as well as in the outdoor garden.
Staff are very pleasant and helpful, They know the area, are very friendly and helpful and are multi lingual.
The breakfast buffet is very varied and with very good quality food. The fresh orange juice is delicious.
Cons: Bedroom is quite small and there is little cupboard space. Twin beds/ soft mattress. The bathroom is small but modern and functional, although our sink plughole could not be sealed for washing clothes; the shower is quite small with only a shower curtain. Now air conditioning. No TV. No safe. No elevator. The walk to the beach is pretty but reasonably long over a sandy track.
In summary this is a fairly basic hostel but with lovely surroundings, very good food and it is a beautiful place to enjoy the surroundings. It has a lot to recommend it. I would definitely stay here again.
We just walked by and stopped to have breakfast, welcomed by a wonderful smily staff. It’s the best breakfast buffet I had in Portugal (and cheap, 7,50€/person). Many different high quality local products. Great terrace ! 👍
Nice bright clean apartment ; friendly proprietors and staff and excellent breakfast. Great location for outdoor activities on the south west coast of Portugal, especially water sports. Attractive outdoor eating facilities, which we were unable to take advantage of because of the weather in February.
May be perfect for some peoples.. the place was kinda clean, a breakfast was available downstairs (a bit overpriced at 7,50 euros). It has a "community" feels.. I don't know how to explain, nobody was rude or impolite, but it did had a "strange" vibe... maybe just not our style.
It was also overall overpriced for what it is... *very* small rooms and bed.
The surrounding look like a desert city, wilds dogs, broken houses, weird noises at night, junk yard, etc.
The only good point is that it is near the best beaches in Algarve.
