Garden House - Costa Vicentina - Alentejo Coast

8.8 out of 10, Excellent, (23)
"Property was perfect for our needs. Not fancy, but very clean and enough room for my wife and I with our adult son. Although it could accomodate up to 5 guests, I would not recommend it. Quiet, little town with a couple of good restaurants and cafes. Short and easy 15 min drive to Vila Nova de Milfontes or Porto Covo with amazing beaches. Hosts were wonderful and communicative while we were there. Only slight downside was that once we left, the communication was almost non-existent although we...

La Réserve Comporta

3.5 star property
6.0 out of 10, (1)
"I’m confident it will be better over time, but right now they have quite a bit to work on. Many drinking glass were not cleaned and spider web on some chairs. Despite >85% empty (my assumption) we got an apartment where we had to go up some stairs to reach it. No elevator and not possible to change. The reception is not very quick or helpful. Took 10 minutes from the got or passports until check in was done, or even more. On the plus side, it’s rather affordable to be this section of...

EcoLodge Bungalow ...

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (1)
"We spent ten days in Portugal and were blown away by the landscapes, people, culture and food. We traveled around several areas south of Lisbon but this Eco Lodge was the most wonderful experience of all -- we stayed in both the Tree House and the Bungalow. Manuel & Hélène the owners were so lovely, warm and gracious -- helpful in guiding us to one of the most beautiful beaches we've ever seen and other sites in the area. The bungalow and treehouse were incredibly charming, clean comfortable and...

Casa das Pergolas Summer/Winter Retreat, Comporta, Alentejo

9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (21)
"Lovely place. Definitely need your own transport. Nice beaches and places to visit in the area. Be warned the pool isn’t heated, so our kids couldn’t use it, was very cold which was disappointing. Otherwise nice."

Beautiful Villa on the rice fields walking distance to the beach

4.0 out of 10, (1)
"Property ConditionThe house itself has potential but the location noise issue is a deal-breaker. The microcement surfaces mentioned by the host are indeed delicate, though normal use should not result in the extensive damage claims we received. Cannot recommend this property due to the undisclosed highway noise and concerning post-stay billing practices. Future guests should be aware of both the location limitations and potential for disputed charges. Consider properties with transparent...

Hotel Apartamento Porto Côvo

3.0 star property
9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (7)
"We only used this hotel to stay overnight while traveling from The Algarve to Lisbon. But it was more than adequate for that. The rooms were a little dated but very clean and well maintained. The building is located within easy walking distance of the town, restaurants, and the beach. Porto Covo is a nice small town, and parking was easy. The staff was very nice and spoke English, which we appreciated. Facility was quiet but be advised their is no front desk help from midnight to 8:00. Overall,...
