Good stay in Almancil

Very good stay in Almancil, 15 min drive from Faro and 40 mins to Benagil caves. Host was gracious enough to accept a late check-in for us and was always available on whatsapp for any queries.

I stayed only one night before my flight and had an late check-in so the owner gave me all the info via whats app to check-in by myself. The rooms are cozy, clean and functional, the kitchen is big and there's everything you need, the bathroom is clean too. There are restaurants around the hostel. Very nice place!

We arrived late for a one night stay (me and my husband and son) and had a family suite. Dalila was so helpful and the property was beautifully clean and with great facilities (en suite, kitchen). Would definitely stay again!

Très bruyant lorsque la porte d’entrée se refermait. La porte devrait avoir un amortisseur pour qu’elle se ferme doucement.

Contente

L'hostel était très bien. La dame de la réception était top!! Super gentille et aimable. Les chambres suites sont très bien, très spacieuse. Le seul problème est qu'on entend tout. Si vous tombez sur des gens trop bruyant c'est compliqué.
