Amares Hotel Guide - Caldelas Spa hotels in Amares, Portugal.

"Words honestly can’t describe how incredible this stay was. The property itself is absolutely beautiful — peaceful, relaxing, surrounded by nature, with stunning sunsets, fruit trees, and amazing views everywhere you look. It felt like a hidden paradise. The hot tub, outdoor spaces, and overall atmosphere made it such a special experience. But what truly made this unforgettable was Ziv and Karen. They didn’t treat us like guests — they treated us like family. They were like having a mom and dad away from home. Their kindness, care, and hospitality went far beyond anything we ever expected. My girlfriend forgot important medication back home, and Karen went out of her way to help us get what we needed. She even went to the supermarket herself to buy hair products so she could do my girlfriend’s hair for a wedding we were attending — and it looked absolutely amazing. She also offered to iron my clothes for the wedding. They warmed up the hot tub for us, constantly checked in on us, and even brought us food because they felt we needed to eat something. That level of care is something you rarely experience anywhere. You can truly feel the love and heart they put into this place and into the people who stay here. We left feeling grateful, cared for, and honestly emotional about leaving. Ziv and Karen deserve the absolute best, and we will never forget this experience. If you’re considering staying here, don’t even think twice — book it."

"Aurélie was fabulous host, very caring and responsive thank you. The villa is more beautiful than the photos can show, set in lush green gardens and woodland.We were unfortunate to have some of the worst wet weather for our stay which meant we were cooler in the property than we would have been if it was mild. Saying this it didn't detract from our enjoyment of the stay. The villa was immaculately clean with comfortable bedrooms. Great for our large family who enjoyed sitting around the massive kitchen table eating and playing games together. The table tennis tournament was fun too. I can imagine in the summer sitting around the pool you wouldn't have to venture far to have a great stay. "

"This was one of our favorite places we stayed in Portugal. The lady who runs this is absolutely wonderful (as well as her pet goat and dogs). She even makes a lovely homemade breakfast, by request, for only 6€ a person. In the morning, we could smell her homemade bread baking. The suite we stayed in had a full kitchen, a super comfortable bed, nice bathroom and a beautiful balcony with a view of the hills. The property is very quiet and located in such a peaceful area. If we ever go back to Portugal, we are staying at this ranch again. "

"Staff was great, they were happy to share their knowledge about the nearby national park and local eateries. We felt it was great value. "
