Hotel Alisios

Hotel Alisios is a dream come true...I had a wonderful two weeks filled with nothing but joy. I'm already making plans to come back, I miss it so much. The hotel is situated just 10 minutes walk away from the Old Town, where you can find a myriad of restaurants, bars and coffee shops. The location of the hotel itself is quiet and peaceful, so if you want some hustle and bustle, just pop into the Old Town, there is something for everyone there. There is a lovely bar in the hotel if you don't want to go out at night, and entertainment is provided a couple of nights a week. The beach is a short walk down, as the hotel is built into a cliff face. The sea is cold, but just beautiful. You can choose to pay a daily fee to use the sunbeds on the beach, or just relax on the terrace at the hotel, with stunning views of the sea, which is what I chose to do everyday. I'd definitely recommend having dinner in the hotel. The views are stunning and the food is absolutely delicious. Definitely try the almond parfait on the dessert menu, it's been on the menu for 20 years 😀 Everyone in the hotel is friendly and smiling, from the reception staff to the lovely cleaning staff. I do have to send particular thanks to Emanuele and Michelly in the Terrace Bar, who made everyday a pure joy. But my biggest thanks has to go to Américo, also from the Terrace. One of the most professional, friendly and attentive members of staff I've ever had the pleasure to meet, anywhere. I mentioned that I was teaching myself Portuguese, and during my entire stay, he spoke nothing but Portuguese to me and made sure to correct me if I made any mistakes; and always with a smile 😀 And I can say that two weeks later, I'm now having full conversations in Portuguese, which I didn't think would be possible before I left London. He is a true asset to the hotel, and I'm truly grateful for the help and time he gave me. To all the Hotel Alisios team, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for a wonderful two weeks. I look forward to seeing you again very soon. Muito obrigada por todo. Nathalie

This hotel is superb in every way Staff were lovely, breakfast amazing, rooms were so clean and comfortable

Family-run hotel. Excellent breakfast where no wishes remain unfulfilled. Very helpful staff. Perfect location since it is not in the middle of the hustle and bustle, but you can reach the city center in 10 minutes. Happy to do it again anytime. 👍
