Portugal’s Mediterranean charm is most prominent on the golden beaches of the Algarve; in the wilderness of the Azores islands; among the vineyards of Douro Valley; and on the cobbled streets of Lisbon and Porto, where old-world culture meets cosmopolitan bars and restaurants.

Located in a privileged area of Oporto, and dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries, the Condes de Azevedo Palace offers an elegant and classic oasis, with all the necessary commodities of the 21st-century traveler. Initially built as the home for the "Condes de Azevedo", the Palace owned by Viscount Francisco Lopes de Azevedo Velho da Fonseca de Barbosa Pinheiro Pereira e Sá served various purposes throughout its time. Probably its most iconic role, was when a typography was set up, essential for the "First Portuguese Grammar" in 1536, having translated other essential works of Cervantes and Virgílio. Newly converted to the Condes de Azevedo Palace, it offers 19 5-star apartments spread out through three floors, a common garden patio, private parking, and a very comfortable breakfast lounge to start your day in the best way possible.
The Palace is perfectly situated to all of the tourist attractions. The staff was very friendly and always willing to help. I stayed in a 2 bedroom 3 bathroom unit. It also had a kitchen and living room on the 1st floor. On the 2nd floor, there was another sitting room in front of the other bedroom. On hotels.com, the bedrooms were listed as having queen beds, but each bedroom had a king bed. Continental breakfast was brought to the room every morning at your time of choosing. It's really a full breakfast. I ended up putting alot of it in the fridge and would snack off of it throughout the day. I highly recommend this place!

And with the Rooftop Terrace providing stunning views to local monuments such as the St. Georges Castle, the Santa Justa elevator, and the majestic Rossio and Commercial square with its magnificent arch the triumph and mesmerising view on the river Tejo.
Stayed for four nights in June 2022. Overall thought it was excellent value for money! Extremely central location - minutes from lift and Rossio station (for day trips to Sintra etc). Vibe is very cool and artsy, though lots of mirrors so a bit discombobulating! Room was very spacious and well equipped including fridge, coffee machine and powerful shower. Especially considering the central location, the room was very quiet and I slept very well every night. AC wasn't working but we were comfortable with a fan. Also big shout out to the reception staff who provided a cake in the room for my birthday - it was great and thank you so much!

We stayed here 4 nights with two friends. The rooms are nice and clean. We missed a shelf for the beauty products in the bathroom. Even in the shower. The breakfast is ok, the service could be better for a 4 stars hotel. The pool is great and clean. The hotel employees are very friendly and accommodating. They all speak good English. The service in the restaurant could be better for a 4 star hotel. Some do not speak English well, the waiting times for drinks are sometimes too long. But the burgers are very good. We would come again.

The Luna Solaqua assumes a central position on the Algarve coast. It is just a few minutes from the iconic Praia dos Pescadores, as well as the main shopping area of Albufeira. Next to the hotel, you can find numerous restaurants, bars and shops, typical of tourist offer very characteristic of this region.
This was a lovely hotel. We were surprised by how large our self catering apartment was and it was kept very clean daily. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. It was a great base for us to explore Portugal with our hire car - parking no problem. It is in walking distance of the more lively old town and beaches, but we liked the fact it was in a quieter area itself. We didn't really use the pools as we tended to go off to the beaches in the day, but they all looked great.

We spent one night here, stop from Lisbon to Porto. The location is near the beach. Staff was super friendly and very attentive and responsive. Super clean all around. The beds were comfy and the room was spacious enough. We also had a balcony which was perfect with a glass of port.

We are a family of 4 just back from a wonderful holiday in the Alfagar village .Would totally recommend it to anyone young or old.The resort is very well maintained and looks fantastic. We had a sea view apartment which was perfect for our needs. A very short stroll to a beautiful beach.The mini market is adequate and there is a Spar just across the road.. The 2 nearest restaurants to the Alfagar are Portobello and Restaurant Martins ,both less than a 5 min walk. Would definitely plan to return next summer Absolutely loved it.

Hotel clean, we had a 1 bedroom and it was large enough. Cleaners there every day except Sunday not always the same one or at the same time. Area is great close to bars and restaurants. Taxis good value for money. Only real problem we had with this hotel was the people reserving sun beds at 6am and not actually using them until around 3.00pm. Also while we were there a hen party checked in, although website states no stag or hen parties allowed! The rooms are not soundproofed and you can here everything including the next door shower being switched on. We did enjoy our holiday despite the issues raised but would not return to this hotel.

We are just finished a week here , a family of 4 ( 2 adults and 2 teenagers ) - a very positive experience. We had a pool view with balcony apartment . Very spacious and clean. Good air con . Despite being close to pool, restaurant etc it was not noisy at all . Cleaned every day with fresh towels . Food In hotel restaurant was very nice . Location was good as it was in a relatively quiet area with a 15 min walk to the old town and a 15 min walk to the strip . Nearby supermarket if anything needed . There was construction in the neighbourhood but we did not notice any noise from it . Couldn’t find any faults worth mentioning .

The apartment was very spacious and clean. Mattresses were hard but new ones were being delivered as we left! The kitchen is nice. No cleaning products or basics, just cutlery, crockery and cookware. Balcony very spacious with a table and 6 chairs. No loungers though. There is some noise from the bars below. We were on the first floor, and weren’t particularly disturbed. Not high season, mind! Overall, a great holiday and extremely good value.
