Santa Cruz Hotels

"Restaurant food was very good, used the spa also worthwhile. Front desk very helpful and friendly. "

"Charming hotel; a home away from home, gracious owner and staff. Convenient to many places to go."

"I have stayed here several times—always love it!"

"Service was amazing, accommodations were clean and cozy, the decor was lovely and the town of Grandola was friendly and quiet."

"Beautiful and comfortable home. The listing was a little incomplete so it was unclear exactly what we were getting but pleasantly surprised. One very confusing experience is they never mentioned an actual couple lives on-site and are the hosts. They came by when we got there and were very kind and accommodating. It just would have been helpful to know they would be there. The listing said it was entirely self check-in. "

"The house has a heated pool, which allowed us to swim and sunbathe! Although the house also has air conditioning, nothing beats lighting the fireplace and spending some time chatting! Excellent architecture and decoration. Perfect location, in the countryside near the wonderful beaches. The hosts were very friendly and dedicated. We will return again and I recommend it to everyone looking for an ideal place to relax!"

"Camera pulita e fresca. Personale efficiente"

"What a gem in Portugal!!! We felt so welcome in this beautiful countryside place. If you want to get to feel Portugal - go there. Great pool, wines, rooms, breakfast….nothing to complain about at all!!!!!"

"Lovely retreat, be aware it is miles down a dusty track which can be difficult to find at first. Facilities are lovely and was not crowded when we went in July. "

"Lovely place with fab food,, nice and relaxing"

"We were uncertain we were at the right property as it is quite remote. We were pleasantly surprised at how peaceful, clean and modern the room was. Good breakfast was provided with variety and whole food. Too cold for the pool but it was clean. Closer to Porto Covo than Sines"

"Nice, clean hotel. Resident cat which is a bonus. Pool closes at 3pm which is a shame as it would be nice to use it after checking in."

"The young man who checked us in is was very nice."

"Beautiful property! We had a very nice villa with semi private pool, great food, attentive staff."

"Excellent experience and very welcoming host. We recommend!"

"Pequeno almoço muito bom!"

"Beautiful place to stay when exploring Portugal. Sometimes it’s best to get off the beaten path. Accommodations were great and the hosts made the stay pleasant. Breakfast was also very nice. Would stay again. "

"Booked a last minute reservation and was very thankful they could accommodate! Beautiful hotel grounds, comfortable beds, great breakfast, and a warm welcoming staff. "
