We have been staying in this hotel each year for some years. I have of course read other reviews referring to the hotel not being five star and this is correct as far as the furnishings go. The point however is missed because the service and people are more than the five stars referred to. We had a great time.... More

Stayed for 4 nights primarily due to the excellent deal of £400 for B & B to include 4 rounds of golf, 3 of which were at San Lorenzo. The hotel is dated and in need of improvement and may have been a 5 star establishment in the 1980/90's but it isn't now. Having said that it is clean, the... More

Stayed here with 11other guys on a golf trip just last week . Great value when you include green fees at San Lorenzo . Bar staff were surly and not very friendly , drinks expensive and don't try thir cocktail of the day especially if it's kir royal , a drop of kir in a small glass with cheap plonks... More

Once again had a great holiday at the Hotel. There with three friends (our third visit) and we love the friendly and helpful staff. The rooms are always spotlessly clean. Food is excellent. The furnishings in the bedrooms are very Portuguese and all add to the charm of the hotel. We love it so much we are going back next... More

The staff is attentive, polite, friendly, from maids who made the rooms till managers served on reception.

As ever, a fabulous location and still the only way to play at San Lorenzo, one of the world's great holiday golf courses. BUT how it has changed over the fifteen years or so that I have been staying there! The layout is tired with miles of dark corridors and vast reception rooms that nobody ever uses. The Reception staff... More

When you stay at the Dona Filipa you get access to two amazing golf courses San Lorenzo and Pinheiros Altos ensuring that the hotel is a magnet for golfers from across Europe. The bedrooms are pretty spacious & comfortable, if rather spoiled by ineffective airconditioning and noisy tiled flooring; breakfast is fantastic & the pool looked inviting. The staff are... More

This was a return visit having had a good holiday the previous year. This time the hotel far exceeded our expectations. Our visit in Oct 2010 was good but we had a significant issue with a meal. We complained to the management who assured it would not happen again and if we came back we would be well looked after.... More
