very nice breakfast good location, Good size of the room. And bed very comfortable. But for bathroom rather old fashion with small bath and curtain. I dont'expected this for this price.
Decorated with oil paintings and tiled floors, Hospedaria Frangaria offers pleasant accommodation with free Wi-Fi. It includes a popular street-level restaurant and free parking.

Only five minutes by taxi from airport- just five euros. Lovely spacious room. Very clean with really comfortable bed.
Staff friendly and helpful with my queries.
Excellent breakfast included in price - selection of fruit, croissants, bread etc together with hot choices.
Enjoyed the evening meal in adjoining restaurant which was very reasonably priced.
not much to say as it was disappointing
5 star hotels do not do buffet breakfast. they have waiter service. They entrance to the restaurant and pool was down a dark and sparce 2 flights of stairs....no very well planed at all.The facility is 3 stars at best.

Fantastic setting overlooking the 16th hole.
Fantastic setting overlooking the 16th hole. Gorgeous resort with fabulous beach. The resort itself was quiet (we visited February half term) and the only 2 restaurants and bar open were quite expensive ( €13.50 for cocktail and €6.50 for beer, meals € 23 +). Car hire is a must as it’s a good 30 min walk to nearest supermarket. The Pingo Dolce one was very well stocked and reasonably priced. The Xenia didn’t open until Easter.
Would definitely recommend if you want a golfing trip - which we did- not so sure for family holiday as very little for children other than the beach at this time of year. Lots to visit nearby if you have transport.

Loved the different restaurants and bars.
Sandbanks was fantastic for breakfast, lunch and evening meal with views out to sea.
Bars we liked The Roof
A short walk from the resort was a fantastic restaurant called Marias, which we highly recommend.
The boardwalk was a great walk from Marias to the next village.

Very clean place with friendly locals.
Very clean place with friendly locals. Could be quite expensive (especially taxi fares - 8 euros for a trip of approximately 1 mile).
Some very exclusive restaurants but also some wonderful great value ones too! We used the same taxi driver and he was able to take us to 3 different great restaurants, all with with lovely food and not expensive at all (3 people dining, breads/olives, 1 starter, 3 main meals & sides, 3 desserts, 3 soft drinks, 2 litres of sparkling water and 1/2 litre jug of sangria = Total bill = 74 euros!!
Beach was very big and very clean with plenty of parasols on offer. Also lovely off shore breeze in the evenings - most welcome after an afternoon of around 30 degrees!

Great beaches, always beautifully clean, with plenty of good restaurants at a range of price points in the area. A car is a must in order to get around, unless you're staying at a beach-side hotel.

We spent most of the time at the pools and the beach.The pool is free with the VDL orange resident card usually E25/day, they also have free pool towels and there is an extensive menu the the pool restaurant and bar. The beach has loungers that will cost a nominal day rate with an umbrella. The beach bar is fantastic with food, icecreams and cocktails overlooking the ocean. The house is spacious, airconditioned and good size rooms with towels and rooms are cleaned every 3 days. Lots of crockery and cutlery etc. Welcome fresh bread, milk, orange juice, croissants and jams on arrival was fantastic. Bag storage at the main reception was helpful as we arrived early. There is is free shuttle around the resort door to door, and we used this to get to the grocery store on site and to the beach. All restaurants are well run, clean and with extensive menus. The Crepe Cafe at the beach is a must as is the Well restaurant if you like Sushi. Handy putt putt and kids playground with food and drinks and shady spots. Fun holiday for singles, families and retired people.
Brilliant location overlooking the sea and the 16th hole. Vale do Lobo had very few restaurants open ( Feb Half Term) and those that were were expensive. I’d say a car is a must as the nearest supermarket is too far to walk with a weeks groceries if it’s hot. But the Villa itself was lovely and spacious. The outside was in need of some new cushions for the loungers as they were all torn and not very clean. The weather was usually warm 22C so we expected the pool to have been cleaned and ready on arrival which it wasn’t.
-Lovely pool and lounge area.
-nice buffet breakfast with big selection.
-10min walk from beach and beach restaurants ( recommend Julia’s restaurant for lunch, dinner & drinks)
-25min taxi from Faro Airport.
-5min taxi from Vale do Lobo Praca ( plaza with several restaurants).
-10min taxi from “the Campus” in Quinta do Lago.
-staff very friendly and amazing service.
-stayed on my birthday during Easter and received a bottle of champagne, birthday cake and an Easter egg to the room.
The Staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. They were extremely helpful in booking dinners and transportation for our group of 8. They were always very polite and available.
The breakfast was also excellent. Great variety and the cappuccino machine was the best!
The pool was clean and refreshing.
The beach and restaurants were a shuttle ride away, provided by the hotel.
Great location just ten minutes walk to the beach and ten mins to the supermarket. Three minutes to the Vale do Lobo reception area with gym and chemist on site. Outdoor area of villa very nice and spacious with great furniture and good sized pool. Loads of space indoors with good sized kitchen and large tables both indoors and outdoors. Sky TV and Netflix also very handy.
The resort is very tidy and clean.
Easy beach access by 2-3 minutes walk from all apartments.
The apartment was modern and fitted with all facilities.
Good restaurant selection around the hotel ( you do need a car).
Mini Mart inside the resort.
Overall it's a good resort to rest and have a peaceful holiday.
We liked everything about the hotel. It’s gorgeous. Wendy was magnificent in helping us. Sally, the owner of this wonderful place, is there to greet everyone. She runs a tight ship perfectly. Lovely hounds, beautiful hotel in a fabulous neighborhood, wonderfully decorated room, wonderful breakfast.
The hotel is right on the beach, with sea views from all properties. It is lovely and quiet, peaceful - other than some music coming from Maria's restaurant located right outside the property! The apartments are clean, well laid out with everything you need for short or long stay.
The hotel is perfectly positioned adjacent to the Praca at Vale Do lobo. The refurbishment and enhancement of the pool area ,restaurant and outside terrace was very nice .The breakfast offering had significantly improved from our last stayed which was great.
Beautiful house, very large and super comfortable for 4 adults. The resort is beautiful, perfectly manicured, beach nearby (20 min. walk from the house, or a few minutes by car). Convenient and very high quality grocery store only 5 minutes drive away.
Access to vale do Lobo facilities including the well beach club were amazing. The use of the shuttle was also great. The location of the apartment was also great and they did have good menities in the apartment Inc washing machine and dishwasher.
Great pool and kids club
Absolutely amazing staff!! Some of the best I’ve seen
Tennis courts and racquet rental
Distance to the beach
Good food at the pool bar
The apartment had everything you would need for a self catering break. Ground floor property in a nice area, walking distance from Vale do Lobo centre.
