Hotels near Santa Maria e Santiago

"It was unfortunate that there was road construction at the time of our stay 10 /13-10 / 20. However, with the windows closed and our air conditioner on we slept well. Staff friendly and helpful,( shout out to Mario ) Very reasonably priced "

"There's a welcome drink at check in, which is a nice touch. Decent size room with a good size south facing balcony (worth the extra cost). Spacious and clean bathroom. Pool clean but totally very warm in October, despite the sunny weather. Plenty of sun loungers available. Pool access is through the gym though which is rather strange, or via reception on the floor above. The indoor pool is very small, short and narrow, ok to lounge about in, but you can't really swim. There is a sauna and steam room too, but these are also quite small. One annoying feature is that pool towels are only available at reception for a €10 deposit, annoying if you arrive at the spa and then have to go back up to reception on the floor above to get a towel. I don't know why this couldn't be done in the spa itself. Good choice at breakfast, especially the hot food selection, but the pastries are a poor, and not very well displayed, just thrown onto a plate. The dining room is also quite noisy being a hard floor, with chairs being moved etc. Piano player during breakfast is a nice touch, as is the sparkling wine. The roof bar is a great place in the evening, often with live music, food and snacks available too. During our stay one of the lifts was out of service for 5 days, meaning there was always a long wait. All in all, a good hotel with great facilities and also only 5 minutes walk to the town centre."

"We loved the restoration of the old existing structure alongside the stunning extension to the rear. From entering the hotel there is a true welcoming check in. The decor is exquisite and provides a serene ambience. Staff are very helpful and respectful to all our requests. The gardens and the pot plants throughout the exterior of the hotel are calming to the mind. The therapist Christina in the wellness centre was excellent and provided me with a very positive experience at the Luma Wellness Centre. The housekeeping staff were very attentive and our room and terrace were immaculately clean to a high standard. We loved the pool/beach bag provided and the coffee maker in the room. Breakfast was to a high standard and we loved the menu options served to the table. We loved the food in the restaurant,its presentation and the staff and manager’s attentiveness during our dining experience."

"We appreciated everything about the Ozadi - from arrival to departure!"

"We really like our stay, easy parking, nice pool."

"4star experience, we could check-in early and relax at the rooftop, the best: free pastries and tea offered all day, rooms large and nicely furbished, excellent restaurant Coisa Linda only 2min walk away, 2min walk to Pingo Doce supermarket and 5min walk to city center, super nice staff"

"Extensive breakfast buffet, hardworking, helpful staff, comfortable rooms and great outside areas. Some parts of the hotel, notably the dining room, could use an update but this did not detract from our stay."

"The only item I can say wasn't 100% to my satisfaction was the water pressure in the shower. I know I'm nitpicking. The breakfast was wonderful and there were so many different cheeses to try (7? 8?) and breads to choose from. "

"The drive up to the resort is an adventure in itself. Winding roads through the hills until suddenly you’re in this peaceful hideaway overlooking Tavira’s countryside. It already feels special before you even arrive. What really made our stay unforgettable though was Fransisco. He’s one of the kindest, most genuine people we’ve ever met while traveling. From the moment we got there, he made us feel completely at home. He wasn’t just a host, more like a friend who truly cares that you have the best experience possible. He gave the absolute best recommendations for restaurants and things to see, plus the special opportunity to be the first harvesters of his new garden on site. The suite was spotless, beautifully designed, and had that cozy, eco-friendly charm that makes you instantly relax. And then there’s the infinity pool, the views are insane. Sitting out there, surrounded by silence and mountains, felt unreal. And we can’t forget the dogs. They were the sweetest, happiest companions during our stay, full of personality, playful, and always around to brighten your day. They added so much warmth to the whole experience. We came here looking for peace and a break from the noise, and we left with so much more: real connection, great memories, and a reminder of how good people and good places can make you feel. If you’re considering staying here , just do it. Between Francisco, the location, and the dogs, this was one of the best travel experiences we’ve ever had. "
