We had a lovely stay here. The offstreet parking was a bonus! Super close to restaurants and the beach. A great place to start the seven hanging valleys trail walk. Breakfast was delicious.

We very much enjoyed our stay here. Fairly simple no-fuss accommodations, perfect for an active vacation of exploring Carvoeiro and vicinity. Isabella and the staff are wonderfully helpful and accommodating; for us she arranged a great boat tour of the stunning coastline and caves. A wonderful breakfast spread (featuring a number of home baked items) is put out each morning in a sun-lit breakfast room. And the location is terrific, in a quiet and peaceful area above the town's central streets but only a 5-minute walk away. Would definitely stay again.

Rooms were clean. Staff were very helpful with location advice and breakfast advice. The breakfast itself was good. Same offering every day, but a good selection. There is also a good size car park for the guest house size. Important in the Algarve as renting a car is a popular choice.

A perfect home base in the western Algarve. Clean, quiet and family run. Breakfast options are good and get you set for the day. Room is spacious, bed is comfortable. Appreciated being up away from the beach but still easily walkable to Algar Seco boardwalk and the beach. Easy parking and easy to leave and return to the Inn after day trips. Plus, returning to pool area after walking trails all day was a real treat. Highly recommend!
