This place is ideal. We had a room with a balcony overlooking the ocean, cliffs and the beach. quite frankly you can’t ask for better. It’s not to far from things but far enough not to be noisy. The view is beautiful. The room was modern and clean. It’s a small hotel of about 12 rooms. We highly recommend. Wish we could have stayed longer.

This is a beautiful located and charming hotel. I feel like I found a slice of paradise in the corner of the Algarve coast. The staff was wonderful and as charming as the decor of this hotel. The breakfast on the balcony delivered in picnic baskets was the caring touch you will not find everywhere.

Exceptional stay :)
We couldn't recommend this Guest House enough. Ruth and her team were amazing and made us feel at home. I'd highly recommend the breakfast on offer, especially if you have the sea view, it's the best view in Carvoiero. We plan to come back again and will most definitely stay here!

Lovely! Amazing views and excellent service. It was so peaceful to eat breakfast each morning overlooking the ocean and go to bed each night to the sound of the waves. The hotel was clean, in an excellent location, and the beds were comfortable. Highly recommend!

Loved this guest house. We stayed in Jan 2024. Only complaint is the shower door didn't keep the water in the shower and ended up with pool of water in the bathroom that extended into the room. Staff super friendly and the terrace was lovely.

Excellent Beachfront Hotel with Helpful Staff
We recently stayed at a hotel in Carvoeiro and had a wonderful experience. The location of the hotel was perfect with stunning views of the beach. We were particularly impressed with Catia who was incredibly helpful and dedicated to her job. She gave us fantastic recommendations for things to do in the area, and made our stay that much more enjoyable. Overall, we highly recommend this hotel and will definitely book it again on our next visit to the Algarve.

We were amazed at the view from our balcony at O Castelo! It was fit for a celebrity couple! Seriously, we would recommend this hotel for a couple ( not with kids) who wants to get away from "the hub", but still walkable for restaurants, shops and bars. It was magical, seriously...with attentive check-in personnel, to a fantastic large room overlooking an alcove beach, to a personally delivered private breakfast with everything you would need, to a VERY comfy bed (which we all want, right?!). We loved this little hotel and the little town on the beach. We highly recommend this boutique hotel.

Front desk person was very friendly and she even called 3 different restaurants on December 31st to make reservations for us. All staff smiled all the time. The ocean views are gorgeus. The place is very clean and you can listen to ocean. I highly recommend Castello House for those who want to feel at peace.

Lovely room and stunning views
Rooms match photos, bed very comfortable and TV has Netflix, good free wifi included. Hotel is walking distance to beach and restaurants. Feels safe and secure. I imagine parking would be an issue in the high season. Beautiful boutique hotel- very romantic, highly recommend. Great base to visit other beautiful places also e.g. Silves, Ferraguda, if you enjoy walking you can do a 6 hour cliff walk from here.

Best location in Carvoeiro with amazing cliff/beach/ocean views. Highly recommend the picnic breakfast that they offer as eating on our balcony was a highlight every day. Everyone working here were friendly and helpful. Even did our laundry for a small fee. The girl at check in (?Katia) was super nice and helpful. I highly recommend o Castello guest house, you will not be disappointed.

We enjoyed our stay here, as the view and listening to the ocean was quite nice. At first, our iPhones did not work with the available wifi. When we informed the host that we needed wifi for work meetings, they called the internet company right away to fix the problem before the meetings. They upgraded their routers, so the video connection worked just fine. We really appreciate their concern and effort to make this possible. It was a lovely stay with such an easy walk to everything. Would highly recommend this accommodation.

Beautiful guesthouse and beautiful view
The guesthouse was beautiful and the sea view was amazing to chill out in. Would definitely stay again. Only 2 down points were someone knocking on our door saying check out time had passed (we still had nearly an hour left based on the check out time on our reservation email) and the hotel was unable to collect payment prior to check-in (it was a banking error but caused some stress trying to sort it out a few days before check in as we were traveling).

Castelo Guest House is a charming and cozy property that is PERFECTLY situated along the Carvoeiro seaside. The rooms with the terrace are absolutely incredibly - imagine waking up every day to a gorgeous ocean view and soothing sounds of ocean waves. The staff was pleasant and helpful. The property is well maintained and comfortable. As is reasonable for a B&B, don't expect the amenities you would get at a hotel. We didn't purchase the breakfast plan, but the buffet breakfast looked delicious. If you're looking for affordable, comfortable, and incredible views - you can't do any better than Castelo Guest House.

What a View!
I can't imagine a better view than from the room at Castelo Guest House. The room was simple, very clean and well furnished. The area was very safe and just beautiful. The service was kind, helpful and not overbearing. While there is no reserved parking available, it was not an issue parking on the street during October. I would return whole heartedly without hesitation.
