We had a wonderful trip. The hotel Dona Filipa was fab, breakfast was so good and the staff were super friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Both golf courses were excellent. We had high expectation of San Lorenzo given its rating but were still impressed with the condition for mid-November. On Pinheros Altos, we had no expectation on this course but were really impressed with how playable it was, lots of different holes but the course, again, was in a great condition. We would definitely look to play both of these again next time we travel.
The airport transfer was perfect, signage was clear and the bus/ car was very clean – no complaints there whatsoever
I guess the only negatives (which you cannot help) is that we found the area to be quite expensive, particularly the bars and restaurants down next the Dona Felipa – more expensive than other parts of the Algarve. And not having a shop/ supermarket nearby (walking distance) was a bit inconvenient. But these are things you can’t do anything about.
