Having visited Caldas de Monchique previously I decided Id like to invite my man to share this piece of paradise with me when he flew out from UK. Leaving the greyness behind he arrived not knowing what I had planned for our 5 days together. Id spotted a special offer of 2 days B&B, one evening meal (with wine included... More

We had our wedding here in September 2012. Having researched multiple venues throughout the Algarve we decided on the scenic mountainous area of Caldas de Monchique over the typical beach & coastal options because of its unique and tranquil setting. We were not disappointed. It is simply the Algarves hidden gem for weddings. Pedro, Tiago and Anna from Villa Termal... More

I stayed at Hotel Central in the historical area of Villa Termal Caldas de Monchique for two nights, the hotel and surrounding area have a very "fin de siècle" atmosphere, with lovely decoration, the bedrooms are big and sunny, bathrooms were good. Everything quite clean and the staff very nice. The thermal waters and spa facilities are very good and... More

We just went as day visitors to the spa and were disappointed. The staff were unhelpful and did not tell you what facilities were available or where they were. The small pool itself was nice but there are two small saunas and one of these was not working so there was a long wait for the only one that was.... More

I have stayed at Estalagem S. Lourenço (one of the hotels of Villa Termal Caldas de Monchique) for 1 night and I have enjoyed the facilities. Although the hotel is not a 4star, the bathroom was very good, the bedroom had a good size and the breakfast had fresh seasonal fruit. The location is great for people surching for a... More

I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights with my husband last month while visiting friends for a special occassion. The main problem was NO HOT WATER at various times throughout our stay. In fact we managed ONE hot shower late afternoon on day one. I asked at reception and they said they would look into it, however the next... More

Over the years we have eaten here on several occasions. This year however was the last. Our family were ignored to the point of bigotry. When our meals did eventually arrive the vegetables weren't cold they were frozen!!!! The failures of this hotel and it's restaurants are SYSTEMIC and it's hard for me to conceive of any time soon when... More

25euros + 3euros for a silly cap. Ok, and it's clean and has a good atmosphere. There is one mildly tepid pool of even chest depth and no in-pool seating. some good strong waterspouts and a small bubble area. Not long enough to swim. No jaccuzi/hottub. Small sauna and a odourous steamroom both a good temperature. So. Avoid this unless... More

This review about the termal complex only; we have not stayed in the hotel. The termal complex is not large, it only has one indoor pool with jets and one outdoor pool that is available to the hotel guests only. They also offer a series of treatments such as wraps, baths and massages. The treatments we had were conducted in... More
