We especially liked the pool area, however it could do with smartening up slightly. The staff were very friendly, a member of staff called Rose was very helpful. She spoke very good English and I believe she had only just started the job recently and seemed to be learning the ropes very quickly.

It would have very helpful for us if there had been a lift, we are both 76 and the stairs were quite difficult at times. Also it would have been quite good if there had been tea and coffee making facilities in the room. However we still enjoyed the stay.

Excellent hotel - nice old building tastefully modernised but not at all hyper-modern! Just good solid stuff that works (like the shower, etc, bidet etc). Simple functioning air conditioning (which was required as we were there during seriously hot weather). Very pleasant garden on steep slope with a cleverly placed swimming pool (quite big) surrounded by sub tropical plants and flowers. Good breakfast included in the reasonably priced room. We dined in one night and the restaurant was good quality and good value. Real traditional Portuguese fare. Friendly and helpful staff too. What’s not to like?? Caldas de Monchique is a very pretty spa village. So all in all strongly recommended!

Nothing!

A gem in the Monchique mountains in a tranquil setting located next to a thermal resort, certainly worth a visit. What an absolutely cute family run Inn with an excellent restaurant. Very professionally run with excellent food and service. The chef actually came out to explain how she made the delicious carob dessert which was scrumptious. We had a Junior Suite with a lovely terrace off the living room, couldn’t ask for a more peaceful setting.

The building and patio areas needed cleaning and there was black mold on the walls

Location great. Nice pool, nice terraces. Restaurant food good. Staff were nice, and helpful. The area was peaceful.

Breakfast o.k. The bacon and eggs cold unless there at the beginning. the Bread was lovely, but coffee only so-so and the orange juice disappointing for Portugal! But staff were lovely and bread/cheese/ham for breakfast was very nice though.

I really enjoyed the stay at the Albergaria do Lageado because of many things: 1) location: It is located at Caldas de Monchique, which is a tiny and very quiet place, which I was searching for. 2) The garden with the pool is amazing, I spend my evenings there after the hikes and it was perfect for relaxing, reading and calming down. 3) The staff was really nice and helped me with questions regarding my hikes, the busses, calling for taxi etc. I could also leave my backpack there and spend some hours in their garden after Check-Out while waiting for my bus without any further costs. 4) The value for money was great: All the mentioned above ant the price includes a small but nice breakfast (egg, ham, 3 types of bread, some sweets: pasteis de nata and cake, joghurt, cereals, milk, cheese and fruits ..)! It is not a luxury hotel, all quite old but very warm and welcoming. Muito obrigada!

The only thing I might criticise is the coffee at the breakfast. It tasted like an instant coffee not brewed and I prefer a coffee with intense flavour in the morning :)

this is an extraordinary small boutique though older hotel, 10 km south of Monchique. It is in the complex with the thermal spa, wonderful outdoor bar, outdoor courtyard, and I have a boy lush Forest did ravine and the breakfast were incredibly full on with scrambled eggs, bacon, fruit toast cereal yogurt coffee etc. the staff is exceptionally accommodating, the occasionally only spoke Portuguese. The grounds of the hotels themselves are small but lush, with fish pond, its own swimming pool, outdoor patios etc. we absolutely loved it here

The place is charming and the staff with the exception of one were great! The pool is nice and the property is nicely laid out

The pillows and mattress were a bit uncomfortable for us but that may not be the case for others. The one staff member that did give me a bit of a hard time over the price quoted for the extension stay was the only one that was a bit argumentative but only for that otherwise he was okay. Rose, Anna and the other ladies were great!

Breakfast was available from 8am - very pleasant little spread - the gentleman running the show was extremely welcoming and really made an effort to make us feel welcome, even provided front door keys in case we went out late and needed to get back in - he also made lovely fresh pastel-de-Nata’s which were very good! Swimming pool was beautiful and private - gardens were lovely and the price was almost too good to be true! We will definitely return if in the area !

Nothing wrong with the hotel - just be aware the local area is quiet after dark!

The BKF amazing, delicious, about the room I just can mention due to the heat wave the A/C took a little while to cool the room. I felt like home the fact that I was able to meet the owner and talk to her; beautiful lady very kind and gentle, lovely time spent in Monchique. I highly recommended this place to anyone. I definitely would go again anytime.

N/A.

The location and views were amazing. The food was delicious, the best portions of the holiday. Wifi and AC work well. Comfortable bed and good shower.

The room is a bit small, not much space to move around. There's no fridge in the room and you can't open the windows completely. We felt that the staff is watching/keeping the eye on the customers all the time, which felt uncomfortable.
