Guest reviews for Sunshine
"Louisa and her husband are so sweet and hospitable! My room was lovely, the food at their restaurant was excellent and they accommodate d all of my needs. I feel bad that I had to leave my room key on their front porch. I hope you found it, Louisa! Sorry. I had to leave early in the morning to get my bus back to Lisbon. I will definitely stay there again! Obrigado!"
"I liked everything."
"Great quiet location. The owners were very nice and very accommodating. The bedroom was very clean and we had a big bathroom. The bonus is that every room has a little balcony. The pool and the area around are very pleasant. The restaurant has a decent menu and the food was really good. And it's only 5 mn by car from the nearest beach."
"Nothing. It was great !"
"Linda and Armando are wonderful hosts as are there staff. They go above and beyond to make your stay a very comfortable and enjoyable one. Always smiling and very attentive to our needs. The accommodation is ultra clean and comfortable and the food is amazing."
"Aucun."
"Armando and Linda were amazing hosts and we appreciated their recommendation for the boat tour to see the caves including Bengali. We very much enjoyed the delicious food that they served at the Sunshine restaurant as well as relaxing by the pool in the beautiful yard."
"Aucun."
"We stayed here for a few nights and had a very good experience. The room was small but very clean and had everything needed for a comfortable rest. Breakfast is simple, as the hotel has only a few rooms, so you shouldn’t expect a big variety — but there is enough of everything to start the day well. This place is perfect for an overnight stay when traveling by car, with a very fair price. From here, it’s easy to reach all the main attractions in the Algarve by car. The hotel also has a great restaurant where you can enjoy excellent Portuguese food and wine. The owner of both the hotel and the restaurant is very friendly and helpful, which made our stay even more pleasant."
"Aucun."

"Linda and armando and staff was so lovely they helped us so much i can't thank them enough I highly recommend staying here"
"Nothing i didn't like loved every minute of it"
"Great accommodation with amazing owners. My room was clear and spacious. Breakfast had everything you need: coffee, fresh juice, warm bread and something sweet. There is also a pool with clear water and sunbeds. Neighborhood was calm, I felt safe during my stay as a solo-travel woman."
"For me breakfast is a little bit too late (from 9-10 am), but it's just my opinion. It was worth to wait for it :)"
"The friendliness of the owners and delicious meals prepared by Linda. The location is peaceful and homely with everything you need on site. A lovely garden and pool plus a nice restaurant."
"Nothing to complain about."
"We loved how welcome we felt. Linda. Armando lari and Elmeira were wonderful. Nothing was too much trouble. Our room was cleaned every day. Lovely ensuite. Fresh towels. Balcony to relax. The pool area and quaint garden were beautiful. Linda is an amazing cook. Beautiful breakfasts."
"There was nothing negative to say about this beautiful guesthouse. Close to bus stop which takes you to Old Town Albufeira. Ten minute walk to lovely beach"

"Great location for being close to hiking trail, had heat and great shower with amazing water pressure comfy beds"
Christiane Sol Dourado
"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
"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!"
Sérgio Antiga Moagem
"Estava tudo óptimo. A estrela é mesmo a piscina da casa! Mimimhos deixados pelo anfitrião! Tudo impecável! Super Recomendo!"
Susana Quinta De Azemeis
"Quiet location, very rural, and the facilities are exceptionally clean. The staff went above and beyond by letting us know right away about an item we left behind."
