Great location, amazing staff, and beautiful room. We had the Family Room with Balcony and it was perfect - very clean and enough room for our group. Breakfast was delicious every morning. 12 minute walk to the beach with shops and restaurants along the way. Highly recommend this place and would definitely come back in the future!

A perfect home base in the western Algarve. Clean, quiet and family run. Breakfast options are good and get you set for the day. Room is spacious, bed is comfortable. Appreciated being up away from the beach but still easily walkable to Algar Seco boardwalk and the beach. Easy parking and easy to leave and return to the Inn after day trips. Plus, returning to pool area after walking trails all day was a real treat. Highly recommend!

This was a nice stay. Virgil, an owner greeted us, and answered all our questions. The rooms were quiet, and clean, and comfortable. We liked being away from the many people that are down around the main village. Virgil recommend the restaurant about 100 meters up the road, and we went two nights in a row. Great food and atmosphere.

We loved our stay here although it was only for one night! The hotel exceeded our expectations based on the pictures. Very clean, modern, and bright. The buffet breakfast also exceeded expectations! Walking distance to everywhere you would need to go in Carvoeiro too - beach, town center, restaurant, bars, sights, etc. The value of this stay was unmatched and I definitely would recommend staying here during your time in Carvoeiro!!

Beautifully kept property and perfect accompaniment to the "beach vibe" of the Algarve. Spacious room featuring two bedrooms and a small sitting room. Perfect for two couples or a family of four. The complimentary breakfast was excellent and the proprietors took a personal interest in your comfort and making sure you had everything you needed for a wonderful experience. If you wanted to stay close to the hotel rather than go into town, the property boasted a clean, glistening and quiet pool.

Well maintained.

A well maintained property. Breakfast was very good with cooked eggs on request. Balcony chairs were hard and uncomfortable overlooking a seating area where some children played and the ball landed on our balcony . Pillows 2 types one too hard the other too soft. Noisy plumbing from next room. Overall a good stay but did not like the uphill location.

The hotel is a nice small hotel that is well taken care of and the staff are very helpful and friendly. There are only 3 rooms without a balcony and they face the road. No view whatsoever. We were in oner of those rooms and had i known that we were getting one of them I would not have stayed there. Too bad because the hotel itself is nice. Average breakfast but more than adequate.

Perfect location with easy walking access to all. Theres a delicious inexpensive restaurant right across the street. Other restaurants you can walk to as well, and the town is perfect and not too crowded and overrun, like some of the other Algarve areas. The beach and Algar Seco are approx 10minutes walk away. The room was clean and had all the amenities we needed. the room has an air conditioning unit. Very nice terrace just outside the room. The room is Nicely updated and attractive looking. It was a quiet. It had a nice looking pool although we didnt use it. The area is safe and the building is quiet as well. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We had a small problem with the toilet and it was fixed by the time we returned that day! Plenty parking spots. We would definitely stay here again.
