This hotel is a great place to stay. The setting of the rooms is amongst olive trees through which the early morning sun comes through to light the patio in front of your ground floor room. The grounds are delightful, a lovely pool and areas to relax in. The main building houses many interesting antiques and other objects d'art. The... More

We had a lovely time at Capela Das Artes (Sept 2011). Host Oscar is very friendly, super helpful and made us feel so welcome. The property is a very appealing renovated manor house with purpose built guest accomodation in the gardens. Walled gardens to give secluded feel. Very quiet, close to local ameneties, easily accessed from the main road and... More

We spent another wonderfully relaxing week here with two of our children and we will be back. The pool is lovely, the bedrooms and bathrooms are bright, simple and beautifully clean (wi fi available) the gardens and olive groves well tended. The host Oscar could not be more helpful- his fresh orange juice at breakfast was a winner and he... More

Having known the Capela Das Artes for many years through travelling extensively in the Algarve, it was a natural choice for our wedding in September 2010. Oscar is your host and makes you feel like you are the only guests in his hotel - whether he's fully booked or nearly empty. 56 of our friends flew out to join us... More

We've just returned from five days staying at Capela Das Artes and had a wonderful time. The hotel is a beautifully renovated farm house with a lovely pool. The rooms are clean, simple and elegant. Oscar, the owner, is a great host, can't do enough for you. We didn't hire a car as we were after a holiday full of... More

If you are looking for a hotel which is in excellent condition, well run and good value in this part of Portugal, this is the hotel . Had the opportunity to stay for two nights and was impressed with the rooms and the staff. Oscar could not do enough for our group during the stay. The local village has excellent... More

We felt really lucky to find this lovely place after a last minute decision to go away. The hotel is beautifully kept and relaxing. The rooms were spacious, airy, well furnished and spotlessly clean. They all have either a good size balcony or patio overlooking the pool. Breakfast was great - a substantial, continental style affair. The few restaurants in... More

A small family run hotel set in a small inland village in Portugal. The accomodation is great, spacious, clean rooms, fairly basic but everything you need. The pool is amazing and the real highlight of this place, and Oscar the manager/owner was always available but not intrussive. We found this the perfect stress free break and to the amazement of...

Quiet, 30 room hotel based in Alcantarhila - bit of a one horse town with only 2/3 eating places but good access to fishing port and more restaurant choices. Local attractions include Fiesa - a sand sculpture exhibiton - well worth a visit, an aquarium where you can swim with dolphins and a water park. The hotel is basic and... More
