It was a bit far out unless you have a car. The weather was terrible and we needed somewhere to dry our clothes.

Rooms were clean, comfortable and a good size. The outside areas are well-maintained. The pool is great. Breakfast nice. The staff kindly provided a kettle when we arrived.

The mattress on the bed was a bit hard. (But I'm used to a soft one).

Very quiet area, everything was very clean, friendly staff and a varied breakfast. We are definetly coming back!

Good value for money

Exterior lights were missing to get down the uneven stone steps to our room. It was far from the beach. Hard to figure out how to operate the gate, but once you find the gate opener location, it was fine. Definitely need a car to use this place, down a dirt road.

The pool was fabulous- I went swimming even though it was unheated. Breakfast was great and included. Beautiful gardens, very lush landscaping!

The beds could be more comfortable. Could not pay by card due to a "problem with the system", so we had to pay by bank transfer. Not very convenient, and by looking at other reviews it's not the first time this happens.

The hotel is very beautiful. It's in the middle of nowhere, in a very quiet and relaxing place, but still very close to Luz and Lagos by car. The pool is awesome and the restaurant has a great view. There is private parking inside. Our room (with the pool view) is very large and has a small kitchen which was very handy.

No possibility to pay with card. Not a friendly welcome. Late breakfast hours (as from 9 o'clock).

Clean, nice room. Good breakfast.

Breakfast is only sugar based products. For me, nothing to get out of bed for. Not even en egg, or normal milk, normal yoghurt. They can do better I guess, as it's international guests coming.

Super friendly staff, very nice pool (always cool). Quite nights

Being kept waiting at the gate for 15 minutes to check in when it was very hot because the receptionist was on her lunch break so there was no one to let me in. This was at 14.10 when I arrived. At breakfast the mugs were Mis matched.

Loved locality and room size. The lady at breakfast was very cheerful. The pool and surroundings were lovely

The sleeping coach was a bit hard, and the breakfast menu was very simple, and the key made a noise during the night. Other than that our stay was perfect! We loved the place 😊 beautiful and peaceful.

Honestly, there’s really nothing negative we can say about our stay. Litteraly everything was just so well taken care of. The only thing we missed out on was a dip in the pool, but that was simply due to our timing and the rainy weather, not anything the hosts could control. It rained during our visit almost during the entirety of our vacation, and the water was a bit too chilly to enjoy. But as we told Catia at the reception; we'll definitely be back, and next time, we’re jumping straight into that pool!

We had the most amazing time at Montinho de Ouro! We were super happy we stayed here for our last nights and it was truly a relaxing highlight of our trip to Portugal. After traveling around in a campervan for two weeks, we decided to wrap up our holiday with three nights here, and it was the best decision we could've made. From the moment we arrived at the gate, we were blown away. The peaceful atmosphere, the abundance of fruit trees, surrounded by birds everywhere and blooming flowers in the garden. Everything felt like a dream. A few days before we were in Lisbon for just one day. We left right away because we do not really like the busteling busy city life. I think that is also why we appreciated this place so much too. It was quiet, no people around, no business around, just one with nature and we loved it. What made it even more special was the warmest welcome we've ever received. The host was incredibly kind and made us feel right at home from the very start. All staff members were super friendly in a genuine interested way. Our room was lovely, beautifully decorated, with a huge comfy bed (such a treat after sleeping in a van!), a handy fridge, and a stunning bathroom that gave us major inspiration for our own house back in Aruba! Every detail of our stay felt thoughtful and relaxing. We left feeling refreshed, grateful, and definitely planning to return one day.

I was worried about staying here after reading a few of the reviews, but we shouldn’t have been worried at all, this place is a little piece of heaven, tucked away from all the hustle & bustle. Yes, you need a vehicle (a hired ped, or car) but once you’re there the staff are welcoming, the pool area is superb and the room (poolside no.4) is perfect. A short trip into Praia de Luz for an evening meal and you could want for no more. Breakfast was simple but enjoyable and relaxing.

The access road needs maintenance.

Very helpful staff. Excellent local 'home style ' meals served in the restaurant. Unusual layout of the accommodation surrounding the pool.

hard to find. Poor food selection for breakfast. Not worth the price.

Very beautiful surroundings. Rooms too. Helpful staff.

Stayed in February 2025

Nothing to remark upon,

Excellent staff, amazing breakfast, quiet countryside location with view of the hills, beautiful gardens, only 10 min. drive to urban areas with restaurants, ATM, stores, bars, beaches. Clean and spacious accomodations, plentiful warm water, All in all a great value for the money!

The room was below my expectations: Not all light bulbs were working. Blinds broken Shower broken Toilet flush broken They gave me no water so had to drive to the supermarket. Also they told not to use kitchen facilities.

Green hotel area, many wonderful flowers and trees. Fine swimming pool.

Clean and well run. Beautiful location.

The room was very cold (ceramic floor wich is probably nice in summer) and had no window except a glass door located just in front of the bed and looking the pool (so better close the curtain for privacy). The bathroom/toilet has glass wall and this time no curtain for privacy. The lighting of the room was bad (no lamp at side bed, just one white bulb at the ceiling)

Because we visit in January the pool wasn't open and the hotel was nearly empty. However, the staff organize an extremely nice breakfast for us. Very nice garden. The place should definitively be nice in season
