Beautiful resort

This is a beautiful resort. I wish we had more time to spend there. The only downside was getting there because of the narrow roads and even though they tried hard to rectify it, the dinner I ordered was really bland, although the presentation was gorgeous.

hotel is a bit remote from the towns, but sits right next to the cliffs and a beach. the trail starts right at the cliff. free parking onsite, but you need to drag your luggage’s over stone roads, or ask for help of staff to drive a kart. resort is nicely laid out and breakfast is great. one issue is the power was out for one night due to the coastal weather, and no staff was at the reception for the night. luckily internet and heating was still available.

My wife and I finished off a 12 day Portugal trip with a two night stay at Vila Alba. Very relaxing. She enjoyed a massage at the spa. I relaxed at the salt water, infinity pool. We ate all our meals, but for one local beach lunch, at the resort. All the meals were well prepared and the buffet breakfast had a lot of variety. Local see walk has great vistas.

This was a wonderful place to stay and our room was awesome! Very nice features. Close to the beach and the Seven Hanging Valley trail. Gorgeous. Breakfast was excellent. It was a remote location so less people and tourists which was great but also far from other amenities. For example, at least 15 minute drive to get to other restaurants. Food at Vila Alba was very expensive. Check-in staff were great.

Absolutely stunning location surrounded by nature and right on a lovely little beach. The on-site spa is free for gusts to use and was spotless, and three were three swimming pools to choose from. There was a wedding and quite a few families with young children during our stay but it never felt overcrowded and was very peaceful. We didn't have a car but it was very easy and cheap to order taxis to and from the hotel for day trips. The food at the restaurant was also really tasty! Overall a fabulous location, would highly recommend and would visit again.
