Homestays in Vila do Bispo

Perfect place for hikers to stay, the kitchen and washer were very useful for us! The host was extremely responsive and helpful, she even went out of her way to return a pair of shoes I left behind after my stay. Highly recommend staying here!

Olivier, Patricia and Papaya (the white lab) were excellent hosts. The villa was comfortable and the grounds and view were spectacular. We highly recommend!

Absolutely everything! The hostess was extremely helpful, pointing out sites to see as well as restaurants. Spacious room and bathroom, including the shower. Very clean with fridge in room. Kitchen on site.

Outdoor seating a bonus

Flexible, kind host. Great location, near beach and restaurants. Clean, well organized house. Kitchen well equipped.

What looked like a cute rustic farmhouse hotel from the online photos was actually an underwhelming and overpriced stay.  Definitely not a place to visit in its current conditions if you're into well appointed boutique hotels. I hope this review can be used as constructive criticism because there is a lot of potential here. The check-in experience was quite easy and welcoming. The staff was kind to leave a bottle of wine in our room since they knew we were coming on our honeymoon. The hotel room felt very bare, dated and without any character. Not a single piece of artwork, rug, or accent pillow. The furniture all felt very cheap and dated. From the most basic shelving unit, to the plastic lighting fixtures and the bedside table lamps that looked like the cheapest desk lights at Ikea. This was very off-putting for what one might expect from a property like this. The room was quite dark and there was also a little bit of a smell of humidity. And with no air conditioning or fan, the room lacked air circulation which explained the smell. This made particularly  difficult to sleep on a rainy night since the air was thick and no way to create fresh air in the room. The room had decent closet space. There was a clothing hanging bar but no hangers.l, which seemed like a bit of oversight. Another detail that was a little upsetting was when the room was cleaned in the morning, they failed to refill the water bottle. Given that tap water is not drinkable in this area, this should have been done. Additionally, the wi-fi in the room was not great and completely down after the rain. We had a little outdoor terrace. But unfortunately the views were obstructed by leaves of a tree / bush that could have easily been trimmed. This blocked most of the nature view which is what we came to this hotel for. The hotel sits on a beautiful piece of land at the bottom of a valley. And the grounds are very nice with a couple of walking paths and ponds.

There is so much to like about this place. Estela is the prefect host. She offers you a little port on arrival. There is a section in the refrigerator for you to use with home made yogurt and cake. Fabulous.

The property is a prime location to Luz beaches and Salema beaches (10 min walk from Luz or 15 min drive to Salema). Local cafe with food and drinks is 4 min walk away. Lucie maintains clean and pleasant villa, where you can find fun at all times of the day. Place is silent, surrounded by pomegranate, lemon and orange trees, smell of lavender and thuja Great pool with crystal clean water to take a swim before taking freshly brewed coffee by Lucie with provided local cookies in the morning before walking to the beach Room is big with high ceilings, huge bathroom with bidet, cleaned daily. Overall expected our expectations, worth coming all the way from Canada, we will come back again when we can.

Clean/ easy check in/out
