Guest reviews for Silmar
"Very nice facility with daily housekeeping included."
"Difficult to locate on arrival. Keys are at a hotel resort away from the actual apartment so it was somewhat confusing."
"Large apartment close to beach with beautiful view of ocean and the city, from room, kitchen and living room. Convenient 2 bathrooms Comfortable king size mattress in Master Bedroom"
"The 2 mattresses in the room first room were not as comfortable as the second bedroom"
"We got to stay in Cerro Mar hotel which was beautiful, spa facilities, indoor pool, outdoor pool, everything was very clean and perfect. Staff were very pleasant and helpful"
"The walk back up the steps from the old town square was not fun"
"Easy check in at the main hotel and friendly reception Perfect location for easy access to the old town. Bars and restaurants nearby. The apartments are large, very clean, comfortable beds and well equipped with good air conditioning. Very good maid service every day. The pool area is adequate and clean with great views and enough sun loungers to go around."
"The path at the entrance gate is in need of desperate repair as it’s an accident waiting to happen. I’m not sure if it’s the responsibility of the property or the local authority, either way it needs sorting before someone is injured."
"Very clean and comfortable set up. Nice area and close to amenities, beach & old town. Plenty plates, cutlery, cups etc and all clean. Apartment cleaned everyday with fresh towels but there is also a do not disturb sign for the door if you dont want this service. Great pool area nice and clean!"
"Recommend taxi from hotel where you collect keys to the apartment, especially if you have kids with you! Although it's only a 15-minute walk, the paths are poor or non-existent at points, so you are walking on the road. If you are only staying a few days I would pop a couple of cleaning products such as dishwasher tablets, a sponge and dishsoap etc. In your bag. Only a dishtowel was provided for the kitcken. The spar at the bottom of the road only sold large bottles of washing up liquid and big packets of sponges etc, so for us only being there a few days it felt like a real waste of money for how little we used."
"Huge Appartment, perfect for us. We had a baby and a toddler and the cot and bed for them both were perfect. Lovely pool, never busy and a good size. Staff came in every day to clean and replenish towels. I could not recommend this place enough, especially for a family. Any questions I had were answered quickly by staff via message."
"We only had one set of keys between 4 adults but to be fair we didn't ask for another set and didn't really have any issues with sharing them."
"Spacious apartment in a good location near the old town and beach. Well equipped kitchen and 2 bathrooms. Room cleaning service every day. Complex quiet. Great pool"
"Nothing much - minor inconvenience having to pick up keys from another hotel (15 min walk after a day of traveling). No lift re. getting bags upstairs."
"The view from our balcony was fantastic. We could overlook the city and the beach. The swimming pool was quite clean and quiet. Our apartment was spacious with everything you need."
"Aucun."
"The property was huge and very clean, equipped with all need for our family break, it even had an iron and hairdryer that weren’t advertised . We had 2 apartments for both families and they put us next door to each other, which we appreciated. We had our towels changed everyday as well as beds made and a little clean! This was such a great service! The pool was great too not too busy, which we loved and a stunning view. It was only a short walk into the town and beach. The Location is great. Price is fair. No WiFi - but phone signal is great. However it’s a nice break to get teenagers away from screens Thank you for our stay, we wouldn’t hesitate to come back."

"Flat is clean. Fully equipped with a full kitchen, waching machine, iron and ironing board. AC. Facilities at the original hotel was good and available for use. Very short drive to the original hotel."
"Checkout process wasn't clear, I thought I could just drop the keys in the box outside my building, but my box was full of strange papers. I had to take the keys to the original hotel, which again was close so was just a mild inconvenience. Would also appreciate it if there was any washing liquid or powder available."

"Great location for being close to hiking trail, had heat and great shower with amazing water pressure comfy beds"
Christiane Sol Dourado
"We were on the Fishermen's trail and only stayed one night and did not really use all the amenities. It's a lovely place and I can highly recommend it. Lovely staff. They also gave us a room upgrade with an amazing view."
Cedric Monte Carvalhal da Rocha
"Very nice place. Very quiet, in the middle of horses. It was so nice to sit on the veranda and soak in the atmosphere. The veranda is also very nicely sheltered from the wind."
Therese SeteQuintas
"Cosy room.in a traditional old farm building. The table by the swimming pool had a fabulous vista down the valley to Vizela and beyond; perfect for watching the sunset directly ahead whilst bats fly around and sipping the delicious wine made by the family. We regret not bringing some home! The owner went the extra mile for us, for example taking our laundry and ironing even in the middle of a heatwave"
Graham Quinta Da Longra
"We did the Camino and it was right on the Camino trail. Payment is via cash only. The rooms are small but adequate for just one night. Nice place as it has its own vineyard. The caretaker is also very friendly. They provide a pilgrim dinner for 16 euro but we did not do that as we do not eat a heavy dinner. It did look good though."
"This place is so charming and having a kitchen and fireplace made it very nice."
Alison Tapada Flats
"Great experience! Historical site with authentic interior. Super clean!"
Ekaterina Solar Quinta de São Carlos
"The hosts were great. A family-run guest house, good value for money and a great way to experience the local culture. The nearby restaurant they recommended was a real gem."
Naude Casa Dos Gomes
"The proprietor was wonderful. The common outside areas were very beautiful. The common inside area was a museum—-super interesting. The restaurant was very, very good! Fantastic! The rooms are just OK—clean and comfortable but little charm. Would definitely stay here again. Happily accomodated our bicycles in a secure room. Overall—super, just super!"
