Santiago do Cacém hotels

Pros: Friendly staff, room was comfortable but shower head above bath was poor and needed renewing. Bath panel had been pushed in so made bathroom look untidy. Would stay again.

Cons: Shower.

Pros: Easy to drive location. Great time playing billiards and have beers while storm was hitting hard ouside.

Cons: Lunch was really bad. Expect hamburger with fries to be weird minced meat patty from the freezer and fries to be microwaved potato chips and also on the plate was cooked rice for some reason. If you want to eat, go to the pizzeria close by (for real).

Pros: Spacious parking lot. Great breakfast included. Room was comfortable with no problems.

Cons: I experienced no problems.

Pros: goog breakfast and room. No use the swiming loopool

Pros: Breakfast was perfect, we also like room and swimming pool.

Pros: This is a fantastic hotel, really based on love of nature. Location is across some parts of the town on a hill with unbelievable views. The food at the restaurant was Michelin-star quality. Would have loved to stay longer.

Cons: There is really nothing to complain about!

Pros: the bed was super comfy, the kind staff and a really pet friendly hotel, my yorkshire had the most amazing time sniffing around every little corner.

Cons: the breakfast was the same menu through our stay, so a little variety would be nice.

Pros: Staff were friendly and in particular the restaurant staff were helpful and efficient

Cons: Lack of guest control of the air conditioning in the room so room too cold for me. During a stormy night the wind made the windows howl and rain filled the runners. The noise was very loud at times so not much sleep

Pros: Just need a bit more variety on the menu for longer staying guests...but we like the spirit and vibe of the hotel and will certainly return...... these are difficult times with the virus but the staff made a big effort and with a lot of smiles and understanding...

Cons: bathroom is too cold so we have to put towels on the floor

Pros: Very friendly and welcoming staff. Delightful room with magnificent view across to the town. Parking on site. Superb breakfast, all fresh ingredients.

Cons: Dinner was not as marvellous as we had hoped it would be (but the service was excellent).

Pros: Employees focused on customer needs. Very good breakfast.

Cons: Nothing to complain.

Cons: Wind whistling through patio door but I understand they are getting replaced in January 2020

Pros: The breakfast was great with a good selection.

Pros: Clean and modern with a warm welcome . Bottled water in the room with bathrobes and slippers for added comfort. A very good selection at breakfast and excellent value for money

Cons: Very thin plastic beakers in the bathroom that were broken. Disposable cups for tea and coffee

Pros: Not exactly beautiful from the outside (big concrete block), but really good anyway! Very nice and friendly staff with excellent English skills. Easy check-in. Simple, but very clean rooms with basically everything you really need. Easy parking right in front of the hotel. Safe and quiet neighborhood, supermarkets within walking distance. Town center also in walking distance. Relaxed town without the touristy crowds (at least at off season). Good breakfast!

Cons: probably not suitable for a longer stay, but perfect location on your way down south

Pros: Nice hotel. We were there off season so couldnt use the pool and there were no spa services. The breakfast was typical for this kind of property. I think the property was in the process of updating the rooms. There were restaurants within walking distance and several a short drive away.

Cons: The coffee and juice at breakfast.

Pros: Really nice place, the staff is amazing, good breakfast and good location

Pros: Breakfast was great, good central position for restaurant

Cons: nothing

Pros: Location

Pros: Front desk staff friendly and helpful on pointing out where to go for evening meal and drinks as well as getting into the old town.

Pros: The room was clean. There were some games that you could play.

Cons: The welcoming was very short and overall the staff was not interested in talking to their guest. The breakfast was just regular - nothing special. You would ask for fill up the food. This place is nothing for light sleeper - very noisy. Overall not worth the money, would not stay here again.

Pros: Beautiful farm stay like. Perfect for a weekend away from the city!

Pros: Very friendly and helpful owner, delicious fresh juice at the breakfast.

Cons: Can't find any minuses.

Pros: Everything here is great friendly staff great breakfast. Perfect for a stay to discover this part of Portugal.

Cons: A bit remote.

Pros: Very friendly owner, good breakfast, nice room and great swimming pool.

Pros: The owner of Casas da Moagem was the sweetest - he even helped us pay our parking ticket which we got in Lagos. And since we had to leave pretty early in the morning, he arranged breakfast at 6 o clock for us. The room was super clean and the view from the balcony absolutely charming.

Pros: Room and outdoor space with pool.

Pros: The bed was comfortable, it was clean.

Cons: The guy who was supposed to be in reception made us wait for 40 mins to be checked in, in pitch blackness in our car outside the reception. We were half an hour early before the reception was supposed to shut. We were asked to call and hour before we arrived, which we did, to confirm the time we would be there. When he eventually turned up he behaved like a petulant teenage even though he had made us wait for quite a long time at the reception with no apology or acknowledgment of him being very late, nothing just extremely rude and obnoxious. Didn’t even explain anything about our stay or any information about the accommodation. Wasn’t the greatest of starts to the stay. If you think you’ll be using the outdoor pool (which is all available all year) you probably won’t because it’s freezing! Bar was closed. If you want some privacy or to get away from it all, this is not the place to go, your neighbours are literally in speaking distance and you can see them over the walk way. If you’re in the eco pod then you’ll be over looked by the cabins above and your neighbours who are a few meters away, with nothing in between them. I thought the cabins are similar to euro camp cabins that if you take your own bedding it would be a similar experience at half the price. I’ve been to many glamping experiences and this Isn’t a memorable one. There are far better out there, unfortunately this isn’t a good example of an ‘experience’ I’d like to revisit.

Pros: Great place for a weekend away. Really enjoyed the experience and being in contact with nature. The dome was clean, comfortable and warm.

Cons: We didn’t have amenities for shower as they run out of stock. Breakfast could be better giving the price.

Pros: Comfy rooms, unique experience, sky full of stars, fresh air, nice relax area. Very nice place for a few days. Tranquil and peaceful. There were no electric kettle but the team sorted out the problem quickly.

Cons: It was cold in the room during the first night. But then i warmed up the room with air conditioner.

Pros: The surroundings of Alecrim Glamping are just stunning, our wooden house even had sea view. The houses are a bit on the smaller side, but then again it is glamping and you will enjoy the cosiness and the fireplace in the living room a lot. The swimming pool, natural pool and relaxation area is very nice. We enjoyed a cocktail and they have lovely pizzas at the bar. Staff is very helpful and friendly, great Alentejo style hospitality!

Pros: Fabulous location and facilities. Will return! Will recommend to others.

Cons: It was difficult to get the heater working fully but eventually we managed.

Pros: Amazing calmness surrounding the property, waking up to those views was priceless. Perfect for a zen weekend, two nights is ideal.

Cons: I was surprised they wouldn’t allow pets even if well behaved. Possibly something to consider. The microwave and shower had some issues but manageable.

Pros: Everything. Charming , beautiful property and location , great food , friendly service .

Pros: The property is amazing, the owner has a great taste and the house interiors are very unique, relaxing and well-balance. The pieces of art and collection of objects make a difference. You can walk around and feel in your own house. Grab a book and read, maybe nap, infront of the chimney or have a walk across the stables and check on the animals. Finally, the surroundings are beautiful and the location, although quiet and isolation, is 20mim away from beautiful beaches and towns to visit.

Cons: Few options for dinner. The menu is closed and sometimes we couldn't choose between fish or meat or between vegan or non-vegan options. The bathrooms of the rooms seem to be off with the rest of the house decor and style. Very basic.

Pros: Beautiful property with so many attractive amenities. The kitchen/dining area and all the sitting areas are fantastic. Our deluxe suite was fabulous. Breakfast and dinner were wonderful. Staff was very nice and incredibly helpful. We wanted to stay longer!

Cons: We liked everything!

Pros: I was on a road trip with my partner and stayed for one night only while passing through cercal. The hotel is definitely not reachable if you do not have a car to take you through the forest where the hotel is located. The location is amazing for relaxation and disconnection. It was January and the hotel was well equipped for us to stay warm and cozy. The rooms are very clean and spacious. The breakfast was warmly and nicely presented. The variety of food was good. We couldn't use much of the facilities provided considering our short stay but we shall surely come back for a longer stay!

Cons: The only disappointing is that the hotel was surrounded by orange trees and they were all blooming but coming to the breakfast and they wouldn't serve fresh Orange Juice! Not much variety of fruits in the breakfast too.

Pros: It was the cosiest and loveliest place, the decor is sublime, it had super nice touches everywhere you look. The bed was very comfy, the room was very pleasant, the breakfast was delicious, the various living rooms were just dreamy, we absolutely loved it and will come back for sure!

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: Staff was nice

Cons: The room was not clean, no proper window so no ventilation (like a basement room). Also no air con.

Pros: Friendly and warm hosts, always keen to ensure a happy stay.

Pros: Wonderful welcome from Dona Deolinda and good family-run restaurant. Excellent breakfast. Great value for money.

Cons: No facilities to make a hot drink, small towels and no shower gel provided. But these are minor points.

Pros: Service and kindness was very good. Breakfast and dinner was very good - location excelent. Nice dogs

Cons: Keep up the good work

Pros: The place was really clean, the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was nice, staff was friendly, even though they did not speak any English, there was one guests who helped us communicate with the staff.

Cons: The staff does not speak English.

Pros: If you want to experience Portugal as a local you must stay at Deolinda’s place . They are welcoming good hearted people that will go out of their way to make you feel at home . The room was super clean , the bed was very comfortable and the shower was amazing . I will definitely come back again .

Pros: Nice location in the middle of cork trees area, it’s nice to walk there around. Super friendly and professional staff who helped us a lot in any question! Quite good selection of necessary facilities. It’s possible to order dinner to the room from local restaurant for moderate price. Breakfast was also very good!

Cons: The place overall is quite missing coziness and comfort: beds could be more comfortable, a bed in second room was put parallel to a wall without a bed board and pillow slipped on the floor the whole night and therefore one of us slept bad. Isolation also could be a bit better. Also it’s missing a lot outside sitting area next to the villa, with some chairs and table. Swimming pool was quite cold. The potential of the complex is big, but in could provide more coziness for the price asked.

Pros: Nice location with beautiful surroundings with corc oacks, the villa is warm with large rooms. Breakfast is awesome, everything is good and tasty. The spa is also great. Very friendly and professional staff.

Pros: It's an amazing place to stay and to rest. The houses are spacious and are really we'll equipped. Also the breakfast is awesome everything is good and tasty and the staff is really nice and friendly. Totally recommend to anyone who is looking for piece of mind.

Cons: There are insufficient chairs and tables during breakfast (had to wait 20 min), when all houses are occupied, which is not acceptable consider the type of place it is.

Pros: The location is amazing. A beautiful quiet location with cork oaks garden straight from the resort. Villa was extremely cosy and warm. Everyone in the hotel is very polite and willing to help. Breakfast is really delicious and with a personal touch. Our family enjoyed the stay very much. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Cons: nothing

Pros: A good place to start on the Rota Vicentina.

Cons: It was alright except for two unfriendly women at the counter.

Pros: Great location! comfortable, very clean and accommodating. It felt very personal touch.

Cons: The room might need a bit of touch-up (e,g. new mattress)

Pros: Definitely a locals place-When I first walked in there were a bunch of locals in the bar drinking beer and watching football. Staff is friendly and the restaurant downstairs serves good food. I’d stay here again if I was in the area. Just a reminder you need to ask at the bar for bed reservations!

Cons: Beds were a bit on the stiff side- but for 30 euros a night I can’t complain.

Pros: The staff are very nice. They are beautiful.

Cons: The beds

Pros: Very clean. People kind.

Cons: Though it was a Wednesday, we couldn’t sleep until 2:30 am because of the noise people were doing at café under the residence. The beds were small for people over 174cm tall...

Pros: A traditional hotel: decent, clean, well-located for the old city as well as the facilities of the commercial part of Santiago do Cacém.

Cons: It’s a bit dull and traditional, and an unimaginative breakfast.

Pros: The host was on site immediately found secure storage for our bikes and offered us cheaper options for our booking because of glitch with booking .com site. The room was large with balcony to street and breakfast basic but ok for price.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Cleanliness, helpful staff/owner. Basic but good value for money.

Cons: Everything was fine and clean but a bit old.

Pros: Excellent assistance of staff, many thanks! Great location, only meters from coach station.

Pros: The place is old but nice. The owner is very friendly and takes great pride in his place

Cons: Theo only problem I had was the room was pretty hot and I couldn’t get the air to come on.

Pros: Gabriel was very attentive, the place was very clean. Breakfast was wonderful.

Cons: Bed a bit too firm. You can hear people in other rooms.

Pros: Clean with all required facilities. Handy for main road into Santiago de Cacem. Nice quiet location and had views over fields. Nice oranges available when we arrived.

Cons: Access was bit tight for car, thankfully we only had a small car.

Pros: I really enjoyed staying there. Thank you a lot!

Pros: Friendly host. Spacious rooms. Quiet except for barking dogs.

Cons: As with most places in Portugal, rooms were too cold even with space heaters.

Pros: Confortable bed, clean, you have all you need.

Pros: The house is large and the place is very good.

Cons: I booked the house to 5 people. There weren't enough towels to all and the hostess was very rude, but so rude that we had to anticipated our check out because we couldn't stand her anymore, even everything was paid. There isn't barbecue grill as said and there isn't any hair dryer. You don't have privacy because the hostess and the neighbors are all time controlling what you do. I don't recommend you stay in this place with pets too, because the hostess will complain with you.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The garden and pool was nice.

Cons: The house was super interesting but this was not what I expected given the ratings. We stayed in the loft which was super spacious but it felt damp. The brick coves were covered in spider webs and spiders so if spiders make you uneasy not great. The church is directly behind the house which is very pretty but the bells go all night about every 15-30 mins followed by a chorus of howling dogs which kept us up. The pool and garden was really nice but I think the place needs a bit more looking after. We would have appreciated some information on what to do and where to go, information in the room would have been enough. We met the owner on the last day who is super nice and gave us tips then but the colleague who looked after us before didn't speak any english so was hard to communicate. All in all sweet place but I wouldn't go back and it was far too expensive for what it was.

Pros: Historical, beautiful, and peaceful, very welcoming host - our stay was sadly too short. We had the most wonderful bedroom

Pros: The surroundings are amazing if you appreciate the history of the house. The staff were very helpful. The breakfast was varied and plentiful. The house was warm (despite the cool February nights).

Cons: Things which were negative were of minor importance - like the squeaky bedroom door, or the loose bathroom handle. Perhaps you can expect something like that when living in a house with such an impressive history.

Pros: Historical house, perfectly kept, elegant, cosy, fully furnished with authentic furniture and tools which belonged to the owners'family. We were absolutely impressed by the noble atmosphere of the house and by the owner's friendly and professional welcome. Forthermore the owner gave us very useful information and suggestions about the surrounding area.

Pros: It is very well located, next to the castle. It is very welcoming and everyone goes out of their way to make visitors feel at home, always attentive to their needs. The breakfast is excellent and homemade.

Pros: Great location in historic neighborhood of Santiago, and very well remodeled with attention to every single small detail. It has several common areas that are exceptionally preserved that will make you feel at home. Also, Sr. Francisco was a great host who told us the story of the his family house that he converted in such a cozy boutique hotel with only seven rooms. Unique experience!

Pros: This is an amazing property. The service is incredible. We were greeted with a freshly baked baba bread and some water. They parked our car and brought in our suitcases. The house is amazing and so is the gardens. The owner made us a reservation for dinner and when we got back they even turned down the bed for us. The breakfast was delicious . This place is worth a detour. They even gave us a complimentary upgrade. Everything was just amazing. Thank you !

Pros: We have been extremely well hosted on our arrival. The owners made sure we would be comfortable all the time and ensured we were happy with the routes suggested both to the beach as well as to go out for dinner and drinks. The place is very calm, ideal to relax.

Pros: We went for a weekend and we loved everything. The place is so peaceful! The pool is perfect and was available in october!!! Wake up with the sound of lambs is a gift of nature! Marcel was so kind! Thanks for the drinks!

Cons: Having breakfast would be nice

Pros: I traveled in October and it was a perfect trip. The location is in stunning countryside, very peaceful and quiet, with lots of birdwatching in the area (which is what I was looking for). Hosts very nice. Fresh figs every day from the tree next to the cabin. Heaven.

Cons: Can't think of anything.

Pros: Very clean staff brilliant Very very quiet

Pros: The host was welcoming and very attentive. We had to leave early in the morning and they made sure breakfast was ready for us before we left. Also the host made a fantastic suggestion for dinner which was lovely!

Cons: 25 minute drive to nearest beach.

Cons: Everywhere very clean EXCEPT the balcony. There was a lot of cigarette ash and at least six cigarette butts. Not nice when you hate smoking.

Cons: The bathroom did not have the same quality level as the room. Tricky shower head and old curtain instead of cabin.

Cons: Too expensive for what you get.

Pros: The Hotel was clean.

Cons: The Hotel is facing a abandoned building full of grafitti . Is not the Hotel fault but its very depressing to look at that. The air conditioner was not working. The window shades of the room were not working also. There was not a clothes rope at the balcony to dry the clothes.

Pros: -Location -Comfortable beds -Bathroom -Free Parking

Cons: -The room smelled like clean but the floor was full of dust and sand. -Didn’t have twin beds for the couples -The dishes weren’t clean and the apartment didn’t have detergent -The soap provided wasn’t from Apartamentos Al Tarik, but from some hotel in Lisbon. -One of the blinds didn’t work properly so the light would wake us every morning

Pros: Close to the beach with easy parking. Quiet at night.

Cons: Facilities were very old and used a lot. Kitchen seemed not so clean so we did not use. Shower in the room was extremely tiny and was continuously stuck.

Pros: Space, separate kitchen room, balcony, walking distance from beach

Cons: NOISE! Could not sleep! On 1-st floor there is some shop and bar/eating place and before 6 AM it started to make noise- moving furniture all around was heard to 2nd floor room!!!!!!

Pros: The location, the tranquility of Alentejo.

Cons: The place and surroundings could be a bit better maintained.

Pros: Good check in, friendly receptionist. Simple light, airy room. Comfortable and warm. Nice big balcony for catching the late afternoon sun.

Cons: Although it is a big building we found it difficult to find, there is a small sign on the door which couldn't be seen from the street. The only other thing wrong was the lack of hot water in the shower and sink in the morning. We tried from 7am until we left at 9am but there was only cold water. A feeble apology from the receptionist when we left but no explanation.

Pros: Super clean, quiet and Cute! Loved the decor and views from the top story. Nice people, close to the Rota Vincentina, shops and restaurants.

Cons: There was a green light above the door...to show the exit in case of fire?! It was Way too bright! I kept thinking it was morning. No hot water at first, but then they solved that! Thank you

Pros: The staff were very nice and helpful. The location was within 5 minutes of walking to a great little cafe and a supermarket

Pros: I cannot say this loud enough-this was the best value for such a nice facility and room. Located right on the Rota Vicentina, right close to city center, great staff. Too good to be true and lucky to have stayed there.

Cons: Minor detail, might want to make a key drop or mail slot to return the key when leaving early. Snuck mine under the door, didn't want to leave door unlocked.

Pros: Clean & neat new hotel. Friendly & service minded staff. No frills, but all we were needing for a good night’s sleep. Excellent value for money. Well located on the Rota Vicentina.

Pros: Wonderful staff, clean facilities, easy location, remodeling is well underway and doesn’t affect the experience much. WiFi works in rooms. Great value

Cons: Furnishings still lacking at reception.

Pros: Staff and location

Cons: Very limited parking
