Hotel Algarve Casino

10/10 Excellent

"The property is located on the water side of the street with lovely gardens and two pools well maintained. There is a nice boardwalk down to the beach and the designated chairs and umbrellas for this property only. There are two pools and exercise room. It is attached to the casino, but it is a separate entrance. There is paid for valet parking or free access to self-parking a block or so away. The grounds are well kept and beautiful. Our room had a balcony overlooking the ocean. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it, It is at the end of the main tourist street with the restaurants and stores but far enough as not to hear the noise of the busy street."

RR Alvor Baía Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The pool area is outstanding. Loads of sun bed. The staff were all great especially the reception staff they were so friendly and genuine. I decided to switch my package to all inclusive once I’d arrived. The quality of food and drink is really good I especially enjoyed the different breads and salads available in the restaurants. I would definitely recommend and can’t wait to visit again."

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)"

Hotel Avenida Praia

10/10 Excellent

"Everyone one was great, we had a room with balcony and a fantastic view. Just a short was to the sand down the stairs. Security was awesome (police station two doors down). It’s on a walk street but you can unload at the door (just make sure you get the code to get the car in the street prior to arrival. The village is awesome also. Parking is free on the streets."

Jupiter Algarve Hotel - Beach & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The entire stay exceeded expectations. The Soul Spa including the aquatic circuit was very special. The location was ideal with many shops and restaurants within walking distance."

Vitors Village

10/10 Excellent

"Great set up for families. Close to Ferragudo square"

Vale del Rei Hotel & Villas

10/10 Excellent

"I had a wonderful stay at Vale d'El Rei Hotel & Villas. The property was beautiful, peaceful, and exceptionally clean, with a very relaxing atmosphere. Everything was well maintained, and the staff were friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. The breakfast was especially impressive, with a great variety of fresh and delicious options to start the day. The location is a little away from the main road, so having a car is definitely recommended, but that also gives the hotel a quiet and relaxing setting away from the crowds. Overall, everything was excellent, and I really enjoyed my stay. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would happily stay here again."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Santa Clara-A-Velha?

The best area to stay in Santa Clara-A-Velha is very much around the Santa Clara Dam and its reservoir, as this is the primary attraction and defines the local experience.This area is centred around the large freshwater lake created by the Santa Clara Dam. Accommodation options, primarily guesthouses and holiday homes, are typically found just off the N123 road that runs alongside the reservoir or a short drive from the main dam wall. The landscape is dominated by rolling hills and cork oak forests, offering a peaceful, rural setting.For couples looking for a relaxing escape, staying near the reservoir offers direct access to water activities like kayaking or paddleboarding, and opportunities for scenic walks or picnics by the water. Many properties here feature private terraces overlooking the lake, superb for enjoying the quiet evenings.Families will also find this area ideal due to the space and outdoor activities available. Children can enjoy swimming in the lake (at designated spots), fishing, or exploring the surrounding countryside.

When is the best time to go to Santa Clara-A-Velha?

This period is also less crowded, providing a more peaceful experience for those looking to relax and unwind.Autumn offers similar pleasant temperatures, generally between 20°C and 28°C, with less chance of rain than in spring. The landscape takes on a golden hue, and it's a great time for outdoor pursuits like cycling or boating on the reservoir. The harvest season in the surrounding Alentejo region also means local produce is abundant, offering a wonderful culinary experience for those interested in local flavours.While the summer months (July and August) are hot, often exceeding 30°C, they are great for enjoying water sports on the Santa Clara Reservoir, such as paddleboarding or kayaking.
