Find the Cheap Quelfes Hotels

A lovely, small hotel. Well situated a ten minute walk from the harbour. We had a room on the ground floor which had fridge and basic cooking facilities however we only used the kettle and fridge! . Only drawback was not enough storage to fully unpack our bags. On the upside, all staff were really friendly and helpful. We would stay here again if we return to Olhao.

Very clean and new hotel. The carpets in the hallways were brilliant - well thought out to make wheeled suitcases easy to pull; also stylish. Bed was super comfortable, AC very effective, room was kept immaculately clean by friendly cleaning staff. Friendly staff served breakfast and in the roof top bar which was amazing, with 360degree views. Dipping pool and sun loungers were well-used; hard to get a lounger in time! Downside: some very odd management decisions. Despite description on Trip there was no cafe, no lunch or dinner and not even bar snacks! I rang on the 2nd day to ask for a bottle of water … response “Madam, this is a 3* hotel. You only get a bottle of water on your first day”!! Bizarre. I was able to buy a $0.99 bottle from the bar for €2.50! Breakfast: the ubiquitous coffee machine producing the most disgusting coffee - I tried all of them! In the end I risked tea and even the hot water had scum on it. I know I was not alone … bacon - HP sauce standing proud like a statue - no sausages, cooked tomato, fried egg etc! Pancakes and waffles - no syrup! Nice fresh bread rolls and croissants. Sliced cheese and packaged ham. Selection of cereals, orange juice and good selection of fruit. After 5 breakfasts I got fed up. WARNING - I was asked to give them my debit card to pay - she wrote down all the details! After I thought - why? I asked why - she said do they could charge me after I left if anything was missing or broken. I was assured this was legal in Portugal! I told them that was what “checkout” was for! I froze my card but I was really angry and when I have time to get a replacement I will need to cancel it! Balcony nice but only looked onto other rooms! Looking down - WHY NO GARDEN???!!! Just rooftops. I recommend a 4 hour boat trip …. Maybe 30m pleasant walk. Also hire bikes and go to the Nature Reserve - don’t miss Roman Salt Pits and beach crabs ….😊

Is it a very comfy hotel and location is super convenient in the huge supermarket and centres everywhere just 15 min walk and go to islands ferry port is 20min u can buy tickets there for 4 4€ , the concept is new inside the mall is the hotel and have nice Decor model , just the breakfast can be improved

The hotel has a good location, where you can watch the sea. The terrace is large but the facilities in the room are outdated. The staff at the front desk is quite nice. I stayed for one night and had the dinner at the hotel restaurant. The dishes tasted good.

This our fifth stay at this hotel and it never fails to impress. The rooms are spacious, the breakfast is exceptional and all the staff are wonderful. The hotel is not by the sea but inland about a 10 minute drive - Faro airport is about 20 minutes away, which makes it a quiet place to relax and unwind. We would recommend eating in the restaurant at night as the menu is varied and beautifully presented. All together an outstanding hotel: a real gem.

When we checked in and went to our room we were underwhelmed. The Secret Suite was advertised as a private part of the property that sounded very romantic. It was anything but. However, Pedro was very determined to find us a suitable alternative. His commitment to first class service transitioned us from disappointment to hope for an enjoyable experience at Vila Monte. If you choose to stay there, you would be wise to ask for him. The property has beautiful grounds with plenty of spaces to kick back and relax. The staff is friendly and attentive. We had a spectacular dinner last night, thanks to Raquel, Daniel, Juceila and Joao. From Racquel’s warm greeting when we arrived at A Terra, to Daniel and Juceila caring for our needs throughout the evening, we could not have asked for more. The cuisine was exceptional, as it was each night that we ate there. And Joao! What a superb sommelier!!! His recommendations provided us with special introductions to Portuguese wines. He was full of insights and interesting stories. Do not go to Vila Monte without spending an evening with Raquel, Daniel, Juceila and Joao! BTW…shout out to Paolo and the rest of the team who took great care of us on previous meals at A Terra.
