Santa Clara A Velha Hotels

The view, value. Very basic, no TV in the room.

The hotel was located in a very quiet area and quiet close to a selection of restraurants. Parking spaces were limited and this could cause a problem at busy times. There was no food available on the evenings which was a bit inconvenient if you arrived in the evening.

The view is absolutely astonishing and the location is brilliant. Mountain in a very short reach to the sea, can easily benefit of both. It fits both summer and winter trip with quite some nice details and a cozy environment. The owner was especially attentive creating a good mood and allowing a better experience throughout all the stay. Option of a double bed (not twin) is missing in such a romantic inn the option should be available.

Superb locale and orientation with a southward view over the coast, the cities of Portimnão and Lagos, the estuary of the Arade and the Ria de Alvor. Cozy atmosphere of the common spaces. Quality well under what is expected from a 4 star Inn. Poor hygiene on room and toilet. Air conditioning unable to heat up the room, telephone did not work. No tv or mini bar in the room. No hot water in the shower in the morning (unacceptable!). Satellite tv reception in the common room recently disconnected. You can clearly see this inn has entered a decayment cycle and needs urgent renovation.

Location, size and layout of room, attention of staff Poor quality breakfasts compared to other similar hotels, limited choice in evening menu. Saved by several good local restaurants. Car essential.
