Very stylish hotel in a great location. The staff were so nice and the bakery downstairs (which included breakfast) was so convenient. There isn’t an elevator and all rooms are upstairs-so consider that in your planning.

The staff was amazing. Ines and Carolina were both fantastic. They were so helpful, kind and professional. We stayed there for 2 nights and the hotel is perfectly situated. The parking is not onsite but it is very close to the hotel. (2 minutes walk) so it is very convenient and cheap. You pay 3.40 euros for 24 hours. There is also Padaria Portuguesa attached to this hotel so all the food comes from there. Its amazing and very affordable. Lastly, after leaving the property and arriving at our next destination in the Algarve, we noticed that we had forgotten 3 jackets in the closet. The staff went out of there way to send our jackets to our location in Portimao. Both Ines and Carolina were absolutely fantastic and we just want to take a moment to acknowledge their hard work and strong work ethic and amazing customer service. In summary, i would strongly recommend this hotel. The hotel is stunning on the inside as well as on the outside. The interior deco and art is just spot on. We adored this small boutique hotel. It is truly a gem in Setubal.
