I was in Algarve for 3 days at 'Hotel Vasco da Gama' and I was impressed by the agreable mixture of Portuguese tradition and professionalism that we can enjoy at this hotel.

This was our second stay in this hotel having last stayed here in 2004. The staff are all friendly, helpful and welcoming and the hotel is very clean.
