Chaotic check-in. Only one staff dealing with people checking in and tourists trying to pay to see the gardens. Hotel nice but seemed disorganized and understaffed. Pool area is nice but very busy. Good option to be close to airport for an early flight. Breakfast was nice.

This is our 3rd visit and we have always felt very comfortable and very friendly, however the only thing we found this time was the dinner menu was different. We found that the dinner menu was very limited and could have done with more choices for mains and desserts. That would be our only criticism as it was much less variety than from our original stay in 2021.

What a stunning hotel

Love, love, loved our stay here what a hotel. Beautiful palace with sympathetically added bedrooms. Spacious, luxurious rooms, again with fantastic views. Wonderful views for the pool and bar area-stunning.Do wander into the town and around the beautiful gardens. Friendly, helpful staff-booked us a taxi for early airport run, with a breakfast bag. Even went to the trouble of prepping us coffees at 5am. We felt thoroughly spoilt.

Special and lovely stay.

It is a special place to stay, lovely palace with modern annex for guest rooms. Great view, nice large rooms. Small improvements can be made in rooms, like updating the pillows. Overall a very lovely stay. Please keep in mind on Sunday evening the town is pretty much closed for business. So if you don’t plan on dining at the Pousada the options are scarce.

The Palace itself is fantastic, very historic and picturesque, this includes reception, the gardens, restaurant, common areas. The rooms are good: modern, neat, nothing flashy or eccentric but clean and with plenty of natural light. Overall good experience, quite unique. Public transportation won't work well though, but for us this wasn't an issue as we had a car and we could drive to Faro for shopping or dining options (20 minutes) and approximately the same drive time to Tavira.

The old part of the hotel is very beautiful but the new section where our room was felt like walking through a modern art museum. While it was comfortable & the service was great it felt soulless . Maybe it’s nicer in summer .

Unique hotel worth a visit.

Amazing views over Faro. Excellent reception, bar and Resturant service and attention. Carolina’s welcome best we have had worldwide! Lovely clean room with large bed… however had troubles understanding the bath/shower/plug without any instructions and got parts wet that should have stayed dry and had a bath with heel holding down plug etc. Needs a small instruction sticker!
