Hotele: Vila Nova de Milfontes

Plusy: tranquil setting set in beautiful grounds

Plusy: The views are amazing, the breakfast was nice and the staff were really welcoming and accomodating

Minusy: Nothing

Plusy: Amazing view from the suites

Minusy: No restaurant on premises.

Plusy: Very friendly and caring staff. Excellent massage. Overall very beautiful property.

Plusy: It has a very nice pool and bar area and the private jacuzzi on the terraces in the premium accommodation are great. The grounds are nice to walk around and the views of the countryside are great. Rooms and beds are both large and spacious, although we didn’t really use the upstairs lounge area (better in winter with the wood burning stove I think). Breakfast was nice enough and they bake excellent fresh cakes and their own signature cookies daily which you can help yourself to for afternoon tea.

Minusy: Some of the photos on the site which attracted us to the hotel are actually from the private area which you have to book and pay extra for. You have to pay extra to use the hammam and jacuzzi. The mini bar/ fridge and wardrobe area in the room were a bit cramped which is unfortunate in such large rooms.

Plusy: The relaxing atmosphere. The full body massage was incredible!

Minusy: Breakfast could be better.

Plusy: Nice location, very quiet surroundings. Dinner can be ordered and it is quite good. The guesthouse tries to position itself as something special and a bit luxury. However, all plates, cups etc are from Ikea. I would expect something different with this positioning.

Minusy: It is important to know that: - the dirt road that takes you there is very, very bumpy - there is no wifi in the room (at least room 10), only in the common area, quality is poor We found it a bit "impersonal" there. Staff was friendly but there was no personal touch to it as we were used to from other guesthouses.

Plusy: Wondering breakfast featuring local products. Perfect bedding. Serene location.

Plusy: This place is located in a very quiet location in the countryside surrounded by fields, woods and animals (donkeys, sheep etc.) it felt like being able to disconnect from the rest of the world.

Plusy: Delicious homemade breakfast in a tranquil setting. Beautiful surroundings and facilities!

Minusy: Should have stayed longer!

Plusy: Rooms food pool peace staff dinner everything

Minusy: There was nothing that I did not like.

Plusy: The location is perfect, right in the center of the city and walking distance from restaurants and sites. It met our expectations, simple and very clean! Friendly staff giving us tips on where to go. Definitely good value for money!

Minusy: Nothing we didn’t like.

Plusy: The apartment we had was near the pool with a outdoor table where we could eat breakfast outside :) The owner gave us a lot of information about the village. There was also a free parking a 2 Minute walk away from the apartment.

Minusy: The cupboards in the kitchen had a very weird smell like there was growing a lot of mould in it.

Plusy: Super stosunek ceny do jakości. Czysto. Miły recepcjonista

Plusy: very clean, good position, friendly staff, sunny room

Minusy: bad spring mattresses, no place to put the suitcase, no table to put some belongings on.

Plusy: Easy to find; good deal for the price; internet was ok; good location and very friendly and helpful staff! If you have luggage ask to stay closer to the ground floor !

Plusy: Ideal location.

Minusy: Spacious rooms.

Plusy: Wonderful gentleman at the front desk, gave many recommendations. Great place to stay!

Plusy: The hotel is towards the end of the main strip so it's not too much traffic going on, and we went during off season. From checking in to checking out, it was a breeze. The lady at the reception was very nice and spoke good English. She really helped us in giving us directions of where to go for food because we were starving when we arrived and not that many places open at night for some reason. She also suggested what to do around the area to explore, as well as where to park our car since we rented a car and drove there. The room is nice and spacious and comfortable. The bathroom is clean, however, the bed and bedding is a little old looking and worn out but it was fine, we only stayed one night. There's a TV in the room so I can fall asleep watching TV, since we went during off peak season and everything closed early and there wasn't much to do at night. The balcony is a plus to look out to when waking up in the morning and see the views, if you have the ocean view room you can look over the side of the high walled balcony and see a little bit of the water from far away. The hotel has a little courtyard in the middle with a lemon/orange tree so it feels like home and relaxing. It's a perfect little place to go for a weekend and to relax. It's a good place for couples too since the rooms are only double beds and the architecture is nice and feels nice. The beach is somewhat near by and you can walk to it for exploration in the day time. The hotel is also close to all the little shops so it's cool to shop and explore/walk around the main strip of the town.

Minusy: No parking in the premises. There's no elevator so you have to carry your luggage up the stairs, and it depends on which level you're staying in it's going to be a hike for you to bring your stuff up. I stayed on the 2nd level so it was difficult for me with my luggage.

Plusy: Great location

Minusy: Bed was too hard

Plusy: It was just one night stay on our way to Lagos but very enjoyable. Patios da Vila is clean, comfortable, functional and close to town and beaches. We had an apartment on the ground floor with 4 chairs, table and 2 deck chairs. Kitchen is well equipped with kettle, toster and cutlery.

Plusy: Very helpful about our arriving late. Well-equipped room with kitchen. Bed rather hard. Lovely patio, spacious room, spotlessly clean.

Plusy: Very good location. 10 min walk to beach and restaurants. Spotless apartment and outside space.

Minusy: Shower was in bath. Shower head not secure so water went everywhere. I reported it twice and they tried to fix it but still came undone.

Plusy: Very nice, spacious apartment with a terrace, perfect location - walking distance to the beaches and to the center, very friendly and helpful staff

Minusy: the WiFi connection on the room did not work perfectly

Plusy: Bardzo czysto, uroczy hotelik, miła obsługa

Plusy: Really nicely equipped and laid out flat with large balcony. Super friendly staff with great recommendations. A few steps from the river beach. A lovely stay.

Minusy: Maybe a bit pricey for a flat without breakfast.

Plusy: Yes all good

Plusy: The size of the room and the staff.

Minusy: The daily housekeeping.

Plusy: The staff were lovely and even allowed a late check in for us. The breakfast was really good and the room was spotless. The beds were very comfortable and everything was fresh and clean. Lovely location and great parking along with lovely gardens and there was a pool.

Plusy: Web search

Plusy: We had a private area, almost like a full house. The breakfast was great all the time.

Minusy: Internet access was almost imposible to get.

Plusy: breakfast was good with everything you needed, garden and surroundings are beautiful, it was so quiet, you are a few km away from the next village, so you need a car, but if you want a quiet holiday, its a perfect place

Plusy: Pefect location just outside the town of Vila Nova but inside a natural park. For those in search of tranquility and nature this is the place to be. Accomodation is very simple but comfortable. Breakfast is good with a vast choice of local food. Also you can enjoy pool and a tennis field.

Minusy: Not the cheapest choice. Room are clean but they can do better.

Plusy: Very friendly and helpful staff. Thank you for the good recommendations!

Minusy: A bigger blanket on the bed would have been nice, since it is chilly at night.

Plusy: Great cake, warm welkom with thee Also the cake with breakfast was wonderfully Great!

Plusy: Cleanliness and staff support. It was very friendly

Minusy: Bed mattress

Plusy: Nice place with a homely feel. Breakfast was very tasty and the staff was super friendly. Especially João who checked us in and gave us excellent tips what to see and eat around the town :)

Plusy: The staff was very nice :)

Plusy: Quite very quite. Friendly helpful staff Very clean

Minusy: The internet connection was poor slow the further from the office the worse it was

Plusy: Przemiła obsługa, poczęstunek po podróży (domowe ciasto i lemoniada). Super śniadanie!

Plusy: Miejsce z klimatem. Oddające charakter okolicy. Przytulnie. Życzliwie. Urocze patio. Stolik na zewnatrz przy każdym pokoju. Na przeciwko u sąsiadów w otwartym garażu wspaniały stary, czerwony Defender.

Minusy: Pokoje bardzo małe i zapach wilgoci.

Plusy: The location is excellent, close to town and the beach but just far enough from the built up area to be tranquil. The hotel is no frills but comfortable and our room had a big private balcony overlooking the countryside.

Minusy: Breakfast could have been more varied bearing in mind it was provided at extra cost.

Plusy: 2 bedroom apartment was perfect for our holiday, pool was lovely, very convenient location for the town and beaches.

Plusy: Very quiet and clean accomodation. Friendly staff. We we had fun playing tennis and the pool was also very nice. Parking available.

Minusy: It would have been nice to have washing-up liquid, salt or pepper. The kitchen had a very bad smell.

Plusy: Staff, overall environment, quiet and beautifully renovated

Minusy: At booking, weeks before the prepayment was deducted, I specifically mention one of the guests had mobility problems. The property has apartments whit bathrooms proper for persons whit special needs, visible from the photos, which were not available and I respect that. However, before charging the stay (one week before check-in, 500+ EUR by the way) the booking staff should had warned the available/assigned apartment bathroom was not proper for person with special needs. Actually, the bathroom was even difficult for people with normal mobility. The bathroom was beautifully decorated but the architect tried to cope all the acessories were there was no space for it. Example 1: not possible to stand or seat at the toilet without previously closing completely the door. Extremely hard for senior, children or difficult mobility guests (and whom has the responsibility to support them) Example 2: the choice for a bathtub, respective location in the bathroom, the bathtub high and particularly the type of curtain/door used made impossible for someone with difficult mobility to get in. Again, it is a legit choice by the owner to use and promote the space has it was, my angriness is just about not had been warned and offered the choice. By the way, before performing the booking (performing, not confirming) eat this location we tried in 3 others in Vila Nova de Milfontes, sending the same message and all of them answered: I'm afraid we can't guarantee we will have a room/apartment with such characteristics so we honestly suggest not to book. Simple, isn't?

Plusy: Swimming pool. Nice room amd and balcony.

Plusy: Excellent location tucked away behind many holiday apartments. The property had a huge garden and onsite parking. Pool was also appreciated. Nice breakfast! Very relaxed.

Minusy: Nothing

Plusy: A nice, clean and beautiful place. Very close to town with a good breakfast. Pool was an added bonus, as the ocean was too cold when we were there. Would highly recommend. Staff were helpful and kind.

Minusy: Nothing.

Plusy: Beautiful views, very friendly staff, great quinta!

Minusy: Nothing

Plusy: Very modern and well kept. The rooms are really great! It is in the middle of nowhere with a pool, which we enjoyed.

Minusy: You have to book a dinner 24 hours in advance. So when you arrive, you cant get a dinner that night- which happened to us. We tried to male reservations in all the restaurants that the hotel recommended - all booked out. So we ended up snacking that night. Another option was to go and try to get into a restaurant, but then one of us would bot be able to enjoy a glass of wine due to driving. You cant walk into the city. It is 10 minutes drive.

Plusy: Nicely tucked away outside of the city. It is a haven of quiet and peace if you want to stay close to nature. The property is very neatly arranged and very charming. Ideal for families on a couple of days stay.

Minusy: Offering a larger more elaborate breakfast or readily available eating in options might be ideal for those who want to just stay in and enjoy the wonderful environment.

Plusy: Bfast very good. Location stunning. Staff excellent and always ready to help.

Minusy: Not enough lights in the kitchen and bedroom. Lack of enough pots and pans etc., for cooking everyday. Beds a little uncomfortable.

Plusy: The place Was one of the best that I have stay . The perfect place to relax and enjoy nature . Will definitely go back .

Plusy: Location

Minusy: Internet + seating around the pool

Plusy: Location Staff We have the room keys so we don’t need to go always to the reception

Minusy: Maybe one chair because there’s no chair in the room

Plusy: The room and it's place, close to the old part of the town and the beach.

Minusy: Next to your room was the laundery.it was noisy and smelling. A Shame because the service was in top and the room fine and very clean.

Plusy: Very relaxing area; easy to find parking; super nice staff. At the reception, the girl gave us plenty of info on the local restaurants and a few tips on the main attractions.

Minusy: I guess that they forgot to clean our toilet bin due to busy time. Sometimes a bit noisy, as we could hear the neighbours on the stairs and the doors slamming....but this is not the owner's fault.

Plusy: Everything like the fotos on the booking

Minusy: Osoby z obsługi nie mówiły po angielsku. Wi-fi działo tylko w konkretnym miejscu na korytarzu- tam gdzie umieszczone było hasło, w pokoju nie działało. Pokój położony w oddzielnym budynku niż recepcja. Pokój czysty, ale niezbyt miły, stare meble, łóżko i pościel sprawiają wrażenie rowniez dość starych. Przy 13 stopniach na zewnątrz, w pokoju było bardzo zimno, klimatyzacja kiepsko działała. Brak kawy, herbaty, nawet wrzątku nie dostaliśmy, osoba obsługująca recepcję niechętnie nam udostępniła sztućce do śniadania, które chcieliśmy zjeść w części wspolnej. Cena jak za taką jakość za wysoka.

Plusy: Dobra lokalizacja, przy cichej uliczce, blisko centrum, w pobliżu można znaleźć miejsca do parkowania bezpłatne. Wygodne łóżko, dobra klimatyzacja. W pokoju była mała lodówka, bardzo przydatna.

Minusy: Tani pokój (ale i tak droższy niż w hotelach położonych w głębi Alentejo) w zamykanym na klucz budynku oddalonym o 20 m. od głównego hotelu, położony był na wysokim piętrze, niewygodne było otwieranie głównych drzwi kluczem i dźwiganie bagaży.

Plusy: Excellent location and continental breakfast. Totally recommendable for a very affordable price. Stayed in a three single bed room.

Plusy: ?

Minusy: Extremely small room above noisy intersection where folks walked by talking loudly till 2:30a.m. The image on booking.com did not show the real room.

Plusy: Nothing ! The place is horrible, shower door broke, mold on the Bathroom walls, there’s a awful sewer smell. Bedroom very small no room to put your luggage. We do not recommend this place to no one.

Minusy: Location only.

Plusy: The location was super a short walk to the water, in the old part of town, with quaint bars and restaurants on the doorstep. Good breakfast included. The rooms are comfortable and very clean, but a bit dated. Excellent value.

Minusy: The rooms were a bit dated.

Plusy: Położenie w samym centrum,codzienne sprzątanie pokoju,lodówka w pokoju,prywatna łazienka,lśniąco czysto

Minusy: Personel nie mówi w języku angielskim,ale nie stanowiło to dużego problemu podczas zameldowania.

Plusy: The room was clean.

Minusy: The old man at reception was rude and mostly just grunted - after opening our room door he turned and walked away without a word. We were located in another building from the one we booked. We booked a room in Casa dos Arcos but we ended up in the hotel next door! The room was very small, the fridge didn't work, there was no kettle or any facilities other than the shower, toilet and basin and I had to squat in the shower to wash my feet because it was too small to bend over! We certainly won't recommend this accommodation to our family and friends in Australia nor to any else thinking of staying in Milfontes.

Plusy: Excellent breakfast. Nice, clean bathroom.

Minusy: The price Is economy but i find some hair in the bathroom. i don't reccomand to someone Who Need comfort Place . The matress Is good .

Plusy: Big Swimming pool, staff speaks English, minutes walk from the beach.

Minusy: Car park in front of the apartment. While sitting in front of the house we had a nice view on rental car and all the cars of all the other guests
