Conversas de Alpendre

Great hotel. Very well appointed rooms. A lot of thought went into the design and decor. The room is spacious and comfortable. The hotel is located in a rural area but it is only a 20 minute drive into Tavira, though if you just want to relax it’s an ideal spot for doing so. The food is excellent. Don’t skip having dinner there. One of our best meals in Portugal.

A Hidden Gem with Heartfelt Hospitality This hotel is an absolute delight — full of hidden charm and character. What truly sets it apart is the incredible staff who treat you like family. We had the pleasure of getting to know Marcia, Ana, and Rodrigo, among others, and their warmth made our stay unforgettable. The food was exceptional — a huge shoutout to the kitchen team for consistently delivering 10/10 meals. We also loved the unique experiences offered, like yoga and Palettes on the lawn in front of the hotel, which added a special touch to our stay. A wonderful experience from start to finish. We’ll certainly be returning!

This country hotel does not deserve the rating it receives. I had a rather small terrace room with a jacuzzi which had no proper power and the water dribbled out. The shower in the room continually emitted loud crashing and banging noises as they established on day 2 after I pointed it out was airlocked. It went on for most of the night. No apology was forthcoming and I was advised it would be looked into. Next evening the crashing and banging continued despite being told it was fixed. Again no apology. It was eventually fixed on my second evening and I managed one night's sleep. I should not have been charged for a room I could not sleep in by reason of the excessive noise and banging all night. Some form of apology should have been forthcoming.

It was a very mixed bag for us. Some outstanding moments and some not so good. The breakfast and food in general was outstanding. The chef was also very accommodating to any request made. We loved it. The outdoor area is beautiful with tons of|Character and lots of space . However with summers come kids and the pool was mostly inaccessible due to high occupation rate with youngsters. The website pictures can be a bit misleading. The jacuzzi room is tiny ( it does say 17sq meter, so my bad for missing this bit of info) and hardly has enough room to store luggage or clothes. Barely enough clearance from shower door or toilet door. . The picture shown definitely not reflecting that. It does not have the openness feel you anticipated. It also now has a structure outside the room and patio that create a sense of closeness. And forget the jacuzzi. It was blurry and not real jets. The shutters don’t close. So yes not the romantic room you may have in mind. We met some wonderful staff that would go to any length of effort to make you happy and some not so much, almost snappy. Bottom line, it was not an experience commensurate with the price paid, and would say proceed with caution.

What an amazing place. A true island of peace and quiet. Fantastic staff, so friendly and happy. This place was 100% what we needed to get some rest. Fun activities like wine tasting, incredible breakfast. An absolute must do if you want to visit this region. We stayed in The Cabin. Just WOW

Very expensive stay for an apartment that lacked several key utensils (including a bottle opener - we borrowed one from the bar but were rather abruptly told to bring it straight back after use) and was worn (stained linen on chairs) in places. Pool is missing several tiles which resulted in injury to one adult's foot. Breakfast was nice but same every day. We stayed in far less expensive places during our tour of Algarve which were much nicer.

A Rare Find ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chanced upon this gem while exploring the Algarve. Beautifully designed cabin with plunge pool, flawless service, stunning views, and incredible beaches minutes away. Quietly confident and perfectly priced—we’ll be back often!

Unforgettable holiday in fabulous farm hotel with great service (thank you team) and impressive attention to detail. Breakfast was absolutely delicious and so fresh. Can't wait to be back !
