Hotel di Picota

"Love this place. Very convenient for the airport with a nice pool and sun loungers. Sadly the restaurant next door has closed since our last visit but Pingo Doce supermarket is only a short walk for a picnic or they have a cafe. Only improvement would be a kettle in the room!"

"I don’t know anything about the property. I booked the place by mistake via Expedia, and neither the hotel nor Expedia offered any financial relief. It cost 3 days/nights. Instead of the hotel trying to track me down, it was simpler to just register me as a no show and charge for 3 nights."

"Das Zimmer, und vor allem der Flur, war in einem sehr schlechten Zustand. Das Badezimmer roch nach Abwasser. In der Beschreibung sollte unbedingt erwähnt werden, dass es sich um ein Gemeinschaftsbad handelt."

"Gut ausgestattet, schneller Service, schönes Gelände."

"Staff were very helpful in organising transport for us. "

"Wir hatten ein tolles modernes Zimmer mit Meerblick. Alles ist sehr sauber und gepflegt. Frühstück war auch sehr gut"

"Amazing staff and property "

"The ultimate escape to real luxury with genuinely fine people. I loved the restored 19th-century palace with very spacious and sleek bedrooms that opened up to individual, private patios fronted by lovely gardens and singing birds. The swimming pool was fresh water, and if you got chilly in the spring weather you could jump into the steam room or sauna. Views of the countryside from the terraces were spectacular. The cuisine was very well prepared, a good fusion of traditional Portuguese food...

"Kitchen not well equipped for cooking, just warming up or cooking eggs, very few utensils and no oven. Cleaning staff friendly but not English speaking. Although Expedia stated that a hair drier available on request, we requested one and were told by the reception person that it was not available! Really disappointing, but parking very easy and location ok to walk to oldtown/ center town, although not always through sidewalks, watch the traffic and walk fast. "

"This property and entire experience was excellent. The staff at the hotel and restaurant are really extraordinarily good. The food was excellent both for breakfast and at the restaurant. The pool is beautiful and people were using it while we were there even though it was mid April and lovely warm. This is a wonderful find and we look forward to going back. The grounds are beautifully maintained and there is a farm animal area to visit which is lovely and fun!"

"De kamers waren perfect, alsook het onderhoud. Het personeel was zeer helfvol."

"Beautiful hotel which is spotlessly clean and staffed by the most lovely people. My husband and I were discussing how lucky the hotel is to have such brilliant people. Everyone of them couldn’t do enough and it wasn’t “ forced” as they all were so naturally lovely. From the lovely lady who checked us in on arrival then the cleaners who were excellent. Then Ivanilda in the breakfast room who went out of her way to help us choose the beach / island we visited. Then she checked on us the next day...

"Sehr sauberes und modernes toll eingerichtetes Designhotel in zentraler Lage! Tolle Möbel! Personal sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Schöne und gut eingerichtete Zimmer, keine Geräusche aus den Nachbarzimmern hörbar. Das Frühstück ist überragend, alles frisch zubereitet! Wir kommen gerne wieder!"

"Generally good value for money and good as stopover after arriving at nearby Faro airport but we were disappointed not to have any coffee or tea making facilities in the room."
