Porches Hotels with Balcony

Ah what a lovely beachy chilled out palm tree fringed holiday this place offers! It is just the ultimate European beach holiday if you are looking for decompression and stunning vistas this is for you. I don't think it is especially luxurious as such, it has a comfortable, laid back coastal moorish style, but it suits the style and location of the hotel so well, and together with the most wonderful staff it really delivers a traditional beach holiday in every sense of the word. The activities and sports on offer, the number of restaurants to choose from will meet most people's expectations. The breakfast was just outstanding overlooking the shimmering waters. The care and thought as to how they can deliver for families without taking away the peace and tranquility for adult guests should be used as an example to other hotels of this calibre. They have perfected the blend, and so it offers a multi generational holiday whatever you are looking for. The pool service was outstanding. The relaxation is guaranteed. The tropical gardens are so beautiful - it almost has an unreal feeling about it. We loved it, and we will be back, and next time we will stay for much longer. I don't think the blend of laid back fun with wonderful service like this really exists anymore - it is an art form and quite rare - but here it is still possible! Take your shoes off for a while, breathe in the warm sea air and let them look after you! Very well done to the GM and team

Amazing place for quite holiday. We had one bedroom apartment with extra bed in living room for our soon. Fully equipped kitchen 3 balconies with little sea view. Cleaning every second day. Landing smells clean and fresh every day. Pool Good size for after high season. Can't imagine how busy it must get in summer holidays. Pool bar with cheap drinks. Beach 10 min walk one on the right loads of stairs and one on the left with a slope more suitable for prams etc. With restaurant. 20 min walk including ”million” stair there is a Beach with amazing mohito and kayaks and paddle board rental called ecobar. Very nice staff. There is a restaurant called sweet spot in the complex with nice cheap food and drinks. With outdoor area. All done inclusive restaurant glad we were self catering. However if u not to fussy u can pay 25 euro pp for meal which is a lot compare to 15-20 eating out restaurants. Very cheap Uber and car rental. Uber eats delivers too . Fun There is 2 water parks not far Zoomarine and slide and splash. First one has mini zoo on site parrots dolphin experience extra large but most of the slide after high season. So we decided to go to slide and splash 27euro adult and 14 child. U we cost us 22 both ways.open 10-17. Load of fun and not busy for a waterpark in October. Shopping There is an Intermarche supermarket 15 minut walk from the complex where u can get everything u need for self catering. Limited spirits however full range of wine. Lidl is 20-30 min walk if u prefer. Eating out Indian restaurant we did not try 5min walk Italian restaurant amazing pizza and sangria would not recommend anything else. 7 min walk There is also grill restaurant but it was closed whenever we wanted to go there sadly always smells good though. Next to it is tapas and grill not tried either. Can definitely recommend Chinese i.n armacao de perra called happy talk nice service tasty food and best ice cream 10 min walk from there every where else we had ice cream after that it was ok. We went to sea view restaurant for amazing steak in Albuferia called O Penedo really recommend it . All in all would recommend and we will definitely go back.

It's awesome! The rooms are large, with sea views, close to the beach, the environment is beautiful and clean, the rooms are fully equipped with microwaves and utensils, and there are many tables and chairs. Breakfast was generous and parking was free around, but parking spaces near were not easy to find. A boat ride to Benagil Beach is also easy.

I stayed with my family for 5 days at this Hotel, our experience was excellent, the service was very good, the rooms had plenty of space and the facilities were also new, the kitchen was well equipped and everything was clean. The pool was super cold, we weren't able to enjoy it, even the indoor pool was too cold for our taste. There is a supermarket nearby, the beach nearby was very calm and full of families. The restaurant was also very good and the chef made adaptations for me since I don't eat gluten or lactose. We just missed a play ground for the children. We will be back next year for sure

We were very pleased with our 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment with full kitchen, lounge/diner, balcony and roof terrace. What's not to like? We also had a beautiful bougainvillea outside. A change of sheets would have been nice, but not really a problem for just a week. The pool area is spacious with plenty of sunbeds and shade under the trees, but no parasols, and the pool is cold. This did not stop my friend doing her daily exercise, but too chilly for me. Unfortunately the back gate to the pool area was locked, so we had to take the longer route and down a steep flight of steps to access the pool. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The negatives of the property are the location (a big problem), and lack of Wifi (an inconvenience) anywhere other than by the pool. The property is advertised as in Armacao de Pera, but is in fact in Alporchinos. The mini market on site was not open, but there is a large supermarket 5 or so minutes up the road and about 7/8 restaurants a bit further on (3 of which are Indian!). The beaches are a good 15/20/25 minutes walk - downhill on the way and therefore uphill on the way back. The main beach at A de P is long, sandy and very busy, but accessible. Of the other 2 coves - Redonda is virtually inaccessible to anyone with walking difficulties and Senhora da Rocha is busy, because boat trips go from there and there is also a restaurant. It is also not very big. We had a boat trip in a traditional Portuguese fishing boat, which was good apart from the dozens of kyakers and a constant stream of small boats also visiting the caves and bays. Apart from these boat trips there doesn't seem much else to do unless you want to hike along the cliffs.

A quiet, lovely apartment complex Pleasant greeting at reception, 2€ per person per night tourist tax charged on arrival, ouch but we knew about it beforehand. Room was nicely located overlooking one of he gardens, spotlessly clean, practical airy, we had a one bedroom apt, with 2 adults and 2 older teenagers , only tiny issue is one of the teens is over 6ft and too tall for the pull out bed, but he coped. The pool area was lovely , very quiet . You had your own parasol in the room to use on the balcony or take down to the pool if required, which was a great idea. Pool toilets were little dated , but we just popped back to our apt instead. Nice play area for kids. Cafe/bar/ restaurant We were a little annoyed that the bar restaurant was closed for our stay as this wasn't mentioned in booking and still not out of season, however the cafe was open and food was delicious, as were the cakes and coffees, lacked any atmosphere in evening apart from the one night where there was live music. Just needed a little music sorting really. Location short walk to several beaches ( some accessed from steep cliff steps) absolutely stunning clifftop walks , make sure u visit the little church area and shell trees near beaches its so pretty. You cN either walk towards beach or the intermarche for bars and restaurants, there is plenty, or go into armacao de pera, €3 in uber. Try tasca26 tapas it's amazing and easy walking distance.. Overall (this was a real budget holiday for us) is absolutely worth every penny, traditionally portuguese, friendly, quiet, and in a quiet but beautiful location.

Résidence proche de la plage. Idéale pour visiter tout l'Algarve . Tout équipée, bel espace de vie pour 4 personnes . Lave linge très apprécié. Equipe sympathique, à l'écoute, arrangeante. Un très bon séjour passé dans une région magnifique 😍
