This a great hotel. Newly renovated using beautiful materials, it is so comfortable and lovely. The location is perfect: it's in a quiet area so sleeping is no problem, but every tourist site is just a short walk away. There is a lovely terrace on the top of the building with a great view. We stayed in a hotel-type room but they have a larger two-bedroom apartment-type room for longer stays Getting to meet the owner was a real treat. He is so proud of the hotel, and rightly so. The building has been in his family for many generations and he lovingly renovated it and did a great job. Plus, he is so welcoming, we feel like we made a new friend. We liked Faro but loved Solar Mendoca.

In the reviews I read it said the hotel was like an oasis. I now understand why. It is magical! As we were being shown around, the only word I could utter was WOW! Beautifully and tastefully decorated, super friendly and attentive staff, a great location and an amazing breakfast - this is a hotel I will definitely return to. Already looking and it is fully booked for many dates. Don’t wait - book it now. You won’t be disappointed.

FAQs about hotels in Algarve

Sun and Fun in the Algarve

A paradise of yellow sandstone cliffs and turquoise waters that's full of green golf courses and seasoned with delicious food and rich history, the Algarve region in Portugal has lively spots, quiet corners, and inland areas that well deserve a visit. From the banks of the Ria Formosa lagoon in the east, to the high cliffs of Sagres on the southwest tip of Europe, the region is a great option for a sunny holiday and Booking.com will help you find the best hotels in the Algarve.

The name of this Portuguese region comes from the Arabic Al-Gharb, meaning ‘The West’, but before being part of the Moorish empire, it was inhabited by ancient tribes, and successively by Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, and Visigoths.

When it officially became part of Portugal, it gained fame as a centre for trade. The beautiful city of Lagos still offers a picturesque and colourful historic centre that recalls its important position in the area.

Flying into Faro Airport puts the whole region at your fingertips. The best all-inclusive hotels in the Algarve include their own golf course, an activity very popular in this region. If you just want sea and sun, then keep an eye on our deals for the best beach hotels in the Algarve.

    It was the perfect place to explore the Algarve! Placid Village is a complex of several houses situated on a small hill, a swimming pool, a tennis court and parking spaces. In our apartment we had 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living room with a kitchenette and a large balcony. The apartment was well-equipped. We could cook freely in the kitchen, we had a stove, oven, microwave, kettle and all kitchen utensils. There was also a washing machine in the bathroom. The rooms were air conditioned. We felt like at home there. The staff was helpfull and friendly. Next to reception is also a snacbar.The center of Carvoeiro is a 20-minute walk away. I highly recommend it, the best place!

    Really fun, lovely town.

    Really fun, lovely town. We loved the old town, it was filled with character. Lots of little shops and stalls and every type of cuisine you could possibly want! Amazing bars and restaurants to suit all needs. The beaches were lovely and large. The sea was quite rough but all main beaches were life guarded.

    Lovely old town with intact walls. Not crazy busy like other destinations but we were there in October. In general prices are OK but not cheap. Food was decent but we weren't blown away by what was on offer. A lovely place to visit and explore. Would definitely go back.

    Lagos felt like a home from home for us, easy to get around, whether on foot or with the super-affordable Ubers. The food was incredible; not a single bad meal in 14 days, and all very reasonably priced. We loved Pie, Tieto (the all-you-can-eat Japanese spot, incredible) and of course Na Na Bah, home to one of the world’s top 50 burgers. You can't miss out on an early morning breakfast and one of the best coffees in town by going to Black and White - simply the best staff! The Portuguese people are genuinely friendly and full of life, we made so many new friends and felt completely welcomed. We are already planning our next trip and honestly wouldn’t change a thing. We split our stay between the Carvi Beach Hotel by Praia Dona Ana and the Marina Club Hotel near the marina, both within easy walking distance of the old town and both we would happily return to either. And do not miss the little café at the top of Praia Dona Ana Beach , all the profit helps to support the Philharmonic Orchester and Marisa serves what might just be the best 'Pastel de Nata' in all of Lagos.

    Aljezur is a great location to visit if you like nature, surfing, good food, a slower pace of life. I would recommend staying in Aljezur, getting a car to drive around to different beaches and villages where you can find good restaurants. In the evening, in Aljezur, always book ahead a table.

    Amazing place lots of restaurants and bars but it is all spaced out if you have good legs this is no problem. Of course you can hire a car and drive out at night but if you want to drink you need to walk as we didn't see 1 taxi on our 9 night stay. Find accommodation near to Mareta beach as that's about central. Very young area lots of fit surfing people day and night which is great. There are 3 beaches within walking distance Tonel is the one for surfing if you can do!! Mareta beach is the nicest of the 3. There are many more you can drive to. The fort is interesting. Can be very windy as it is on the cliff top! We love the Algarve the whole lot of it I am addicted to it.

    Been visiting Alvor for yrs.

    Been visiting Alvor for yrs. This trip was the third this year. Alvor not for the party animal. But some great nights to be had. Walking along boardwalk and other pathways a must. The people are delightful, always smiling. Plenty of taxis to be had. For people with mobility issues Alvor might prove a challenge due to streets being steep,uneven footpaths that are also narrow. You will be spolt for choice regards restaurants,bars,entertainment and all the fish dishes you would like.

    Beautiful fishing village with gorgeous coastal views.

    Beautiful fishing village with gorgeous coastal views. I loved the fact that there were no high rise buildings. Very quaint and charming location, and centrally located to visit other parts of the Algarve coast!
