Solar da Boaventura

We stayed here for 2 nights during our walking holiday. What a great location. Both nights our dinner was included. There is a fabulous indoor pool which was a welcome treat after our walks. Lovely bedrooms and we slept well. We ordered pack lunches and these were super.

We spent a week in the hotel. It is very pretty and clean, you get a great indoor pool and jacuzzi, staff is friendly and the food in the restaurant is good. You find at least 3 other good restaurants within a 10 minute driving distance. It is quiet and there is not much going on at night but you can play pool or play all sorts of board and card games. The garden is beautiful too and you always find a parking space.

The rooms were clean. Though, there is no fridge, no electric kettle. Good shower. Safe costs extra. There's a pool, sauna costs extra. Breakfast is very sparse. Staff seemed bored or just not motivated to work. Maybe it's better during high season. Wouldn't go again.

Large comfortable, clean room and friendly staff. Breakfast was solid with a variety of hot foods and good breads and fruit. A nice bar area with good selection of liquors and coffee. The grounds were nice and expect very nice when in bloom. I rate this an excellent value.

Third time we stay at the Solar (although many years since our previous visit). This place is still great. Located in the quiet municipality of Boaventura, it offers a peaceful haven. Also, their restaurant is great. The staff is very kind and very efficient. Visitors can also enjoy a little museum and a nice swimming pool + whirlpool and sauna).
