The hotel itself is beautiful, fantastic views, gardens and room etc. However, it is lacking a lot in terms bar/restaurant facilities, there are no options for poolside drinks or snacks and we were encouraged to go out for dinner rather than dine at the hotel. We had booked this for a few nights because it was advertised as a spa hotel but when we asked about the treatments we were recommended to go to the nearby golf and spa resort instead.

Great hotel, we had a fantastic stay although some of the services were limited due to the pandemic, the hotel was fantastic with great connectivity and a great environment, very comfortable bedrooms and deserving of its five-star rating. Only negative- we found the bathroom a bit restrictive and not quite up to standard, specifically the shower and bath.

Very comfortable hotel. Well run, pristine and a level of service provided that is second to none. Highly recommended.

This was an idyllic place to stay in the Algarve The rooms were the one of the best we had ever experiencedDespite Covid it was as near to “normal” as we could wish for

We are very surprised this hotel was a five stars, considering the poor service and outdated design. - no answer at the gate, stuck in front of the door until a car left the hotel - parking very far from the reception and nobody to help with luggage - nobody at the reception in order to do the check-in; no answer when calling the number from the website; we had to walk around the hotel to find someone next to the kitchen - very cold staff; when asked for recommendations we were simply given a 200-page book to find beaches and hikes in the area by ourselves - unlike other hotels dealing with Covid-19, who replace buffet style breakfasts by asking you in advance what you would like to eat, they simply give you a plate of everything, which is a terrible waste of food. We were not told that we could order special items so someone came to tell us because he was surprised we ate nothing. Staff long to bring drinks or bread, making the overall breakfast experience not very pleasant - check out was the same struggle with no one at the reception Overall, despite a very beautiful park, the experience was terribly disappointing. For the price paid, the facilities are getting old (interior design, pool etc.) and the service is definitely not five stars. Would not recommend.

All staff were outstanding, exceptionally helpful and offered great service.

A beautiful, sparkling clean secluded zen resort with views of the surrounding landscape. Its a beautiful, secure property with gardens to walk around, outdoor seating areas, indoor pool/sauna and spacious, well-appointed rooms. There is a parking lot but it is a walk from the hotel entrance, up a small hill. The breakfast was adequate with lots to choose from and the staff was helpful. I would highly recommend this resort!

Very clean, modern,spacious, double door opening onto beautiful garden and peaceful mountain view (room on the ground level) Good aircon Staff excellent. Definitely exclusive as only 12 or so rooms.Breakfast very good but should mention the hot option to new guests as the notice of this is very small.

This place is perfect for anyone that wants a real escape to peace and quiet. It was beautiful, quiet private and tranquil. The staff were all lovely, it was clean and very well kept. The breakfast was plentiful and fresh. We only ate one evening meal which although was nice was very small portions. We will definitely be back when we need to disconnect completely. Recommended room 15 for total privacy, well worth the upgrade cost.

Lovely large bedrooms with fantastic views. Delicious breakfast options . Quiet, private, peaceful location despite being short distance to Luz (not comfortably walkable though) lovely indoor pool with luxurious outdoor pool and outdoor ‘beds’ . Distinct lack of facilities in the room ... had to pay extra for milk to go in the tea they provided in the room (very bizarre) some staff lacked warmth and despite the hotel being beautifully designed it lacks atmosphere, whilst there is a honesty bar there the absence of an actual bar means there is no inclination to sit in the lobby for a drink. Im sure the food would have been amazing as from breakfast clearly the chef is very talented but chose not to have dinner owingto lack of atmosphere

Nice Hotel. Very friendly stuff. Nice view and a great place to relax.

Vila Valverde Design Country Hotel is a beautiful inn located just out side off Luz. This is the cleanest hotel that I have ever stayed in. They are very proud of the hotel and it shows in the attention to detail. The websites tell you that it is located 800-900 meters away for the ocean. This may be true but it is accually about a 1.6km drive to the beach. You need to have a car at this hotel, you cannot walk anywhere from this hotel due to the fact that the only road out of the hotel is very narrow with no side walks. I would prefer a hotel that is located in one of the towns so I could enjoy a bottle of wine with my supper and walk back to my room. The only reason I would not stay here again is due to locatiion. They cater to mostly German customers.

Very individual hotel. But with no bar or restaurant it is very sterlie and doed afford oppurtunity to interact with other guets A definate no for families. Very difficult entrance to hotel on a main road with mirrors to guide you out of the entrance gate. This is an accident waiting to happen.

The Villa Valverde is a well position and very modern hotel. The rooms are well appointed and equipped. Whilst there is a TV the programmes are all set on German channels with only BBC News 24 being available as an English option. There is no bar only a drinks cabinet which is locked at 10.00 pm and there is no room service. The room frdige is poorly stocked with only a couple of beers and no spirits or wine at all. The view and location are good and as described and the indoor pool is well located and very warm and clean. However the outdoor pool is well away from the hotel and very inconvenient. Breakfast is basic continental and if you where to stay any more than a couple of days becomes tedious. All in all the hotel is very sterile and will not give you the oppurtunity to inter act with other guests and the service offered is below that of a less expensive hotel.

We only had one night in the area, but would have reworked the entire trip to spend more time at the Vila Valverde. This hotel is a big reason we plan to visit the Algarve again as soon as possible. Wonderful views, unmatched peace and quiet, and top notch amenities.

A superb hotel which can not be faulted in anyway. I would certainly choose to stay at Vila Valverde Design Country Hotel again.

I travel quite a bit and this hotel ranks with the best of them.The staff was always there for any request with a smile.The rooms were big and extremely comfortable . Breakfast was a real treat . The grounds,pools and commons areas were immaculate . I know I am raveing, but I can't say enough good things about my experience there.
