Rooms were clean. Staff were very helpful with location advice and breakfast advice. The breakfast itself was good. Same offering every day, but a good selection. There is also a good size car park for the guest house size. Important in the Algarve as renting a car is a popular choice.

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!

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!
