Amazing hotel with lot of quietness

The Hotel was absolutely amazing. The whole area was very nice and very welcoming. Even with a lot of rooms booked - according to the receptionist - it felt like our own little kingdom. Pool was very quiet and more than enough space. We absolutely loved our stay!

Beautiful - mythical- quiet

Such a beautiful and mythical place. Pleasant surroundings and staff. We were well received and guide to our rooms. The room's house was as mythical as the rest of areas. The rooms were big and comfortable with again a touch some ancient history, nice balcony and a lovely wooden ceiling . Unfortunately It was a one day sleep over, but we give this place best recommendation.

The Hotel Capela das Arte is a refuge from the overcrowded and noisy Albufeira - peaceful and serene. The former Olive Mill converted to boutique hotel is beautifully designed with vintage furniture tastefully arranged. The lovely pool coupled with the specimen Olive Trees is quite lovely. Our host, Julie was fabulous! Breakfast is amazing.

Alcantarilha is tiny but well placed to enjoy the nearby beaches and attractions. The hotel is just off the N125. The hotel is fabulous. It is a 15th century quinta or olive grove with presses. The accommodation has been styled accordingly. If you're looking for something with more character than the usual hotels, this place is perfect. The grounds are extensive and well maintained and shield the location from any traffic noise. The pool is lovely with plenty of space and loungers.

Charming & historic

Despite reading earlier encouraging reviews the hotel surpassed our expectations. Small hotel, about 30 bedrooms. Undoubted character of history & culture in the buildings and furnishings. Friendly & obliging staff. You can have a personal tour round the original buildings and its story. Opened in 2022 is the impressive Crista Galli restaurant for evenings. Daily housekeeping except Sundays. Disabled access would be worth enquiring on.

Außergewöhnliches Hotel & Erlebnis. Vom Eigentümer -einem Künstler- sehr schön und einzigartig restauriertes Haupt-Gebäude aus dem 16.Jhd.mit Kapelle sowie das ganze Gelände mit einzigartigem Ambiente. Nebenan das Wohnhaus des Künstlers, eine ehemalige Olivenöl-Mühle. Alles gespickt mit venezanischer & portugiesischer Kunst und Gemälden. Ganze Anlage sehr schön hergerichtet, mit Olivenbäumen (bis zu 2000 Jahre alt). Wir waren total beeindruckt. Die Zimmer sind in einem neueren Nebengebäude am nördlichen Grundstücksende und im portugisischen Stil eingerichtet. Sehr praktisch fanden wir den Kühlschrank für die im Aldi nebenan eingekauften Lebensmittel. Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen! Allerdings ist auf dem Balkon im 1.OG schon etwas die Autobahn zu hören. Zum Frühstück gab es jeden Tag ein Tablet mit Brötchen, süßen Stücken, Marmelade, Yoghurt, Früchten, Schinken und Käse. Müsli etc. konnte man am Buffet holen. Für uns mit 5 Tagen Aufenthalt war das Frühstück genau richtig, wenn man jedoch einen längeren Aufenthalt plant, könnte das aber eventuell etwas langweilig werden. Poolanlage war schön und für uns ausreichend groß, zum ausgiebigen Schwimmen jedoch zu klein und flach. Getränke konnte man an der Reception bestellen und wurden dann gebracht. Im Ort sind drei Restaurants mit lokaler Küche zu günstigen Preisen. Wenn man mobil ist ein sehr guter Ausgangspunkt um die Algarve zu erkunden! Insgesamt ein einzigartiges Hotel - kein Luxushotel, aber ein tolles Erlebnis für die Sinne.
