Montinho de Ouro

"We have stayed here 5 times in total, but will not be back. I’ve always had a good rapport with the owner (over email), but she didn’t even seem bothered to reply, prior to our stay. While there, she sent a cleaner down to the pool area to tell us (a group of 4) to be quiet, as long stay guests were trying to read their books. No compromise, no discussion. We have since found a nice spot in Alvor, where all guests are treated with respect, and the food offering is far superior."

"We stayed 10 nights as a group of 10 people doing recreational activities in the Algarve. We also stayed here for 2 nights in September 25. Rooms/apartments were great with a restaurant & bar on site. Food was amazing and well thought out to provide us with a true taste of Portuguese cuisine. Patricia & Catia couldn't be more helpful with everything we needed. Great value for money, quiet location close to Luz and easy to get around. Highly recommended 👌"

"My partner and I stay here for the first week of July 2024. We informed the hotel that we would be arriving late as it is not manned 24hrs a day. Prompt response from hotel and received a WhatsApp message to inform when we arrived, a member of staff arrived within 5 minutes to show us to our apartment. It is a small complex of 16ish apartments. Keycoded electric gate for easy access day and night, ample carpark. We stayed in number 15, one bedroom, large, clean apartment, with a reasonable equipped, kitchenette (bring basics no shop on site, water etc), Bath with shower over bath and comfortable king size bed. Plenty of storage space and a safe in wardrobe and good size balcony. All apartment overlook pool, which was a tad fresh when we stayed but weather had not been great in previous weeks so did warm up with more hours of sun. The complex is quiet with lovely garden. Staff were very friendly and helpful, anything required can be asked at reception or via WhatsApp if not manned, prompt response to any message. It is a 30 minute hilly walk to luz but the hotel team will order a taxi with a company they have an agreement with, we used this service one early evening costing €5.50 late evening and return journey of €7.50, very reliable and professional service. Continental breakfast was included, hot choice of food, varied choice for small hotel. Evening meals can be ordered. We had a car for the week, good base to explore, luz has many good resturants , cafes and shops. All the staff were happy and friendly and I would happily stay here again. Thankyou to the manager and her team... we had a great week."
