Vila Gale Collection S. Miguel Hotel
Luis went out of his way to be helpful to us. He was extremely welcoming and friendly. When we needed an electric kettle, he arranged it to appear in our room really quickly! He also gave us a really lovely room for which we were very grateful. It was a super stay, thank you.

Lusitano Garden Villas
This hotel is a hidden gem. It’s about four minutes from the airport and very quiet. The staff were incredibly kind. The villa was spotless, and we slept like a dream. Breakfast was delivered to the villa and it was very good. We also went to see the horses, it was fun.
