Villa 3 Caparica, Lisbon Beach Hotel

The owners live on site and treated me like an old friend, not just a customer. The staff were friendly, and the rooms and property were extremely clean. I spent the second half of my vacation here and found the whole atmosphere very relaxing. The location works well for both the beaches and Lisbon nightlife, with a short Uber ride to explore the area. I could just stay in and enjoy the property or head out, and they even offer a free shuttle to the bars. I'm heading back to Texas in the morning, but I'll remember this trip for a lifetime.

I didn't want to leave. The tagline is spot on, it's a slice of gay heaven, with fantastic amenities and a lovely resort. The Villa also has a very friendly, inclusive family feel. Praia 19, the beautiful nude beach, is a short 10 minute ride away, and great neighborhood restaurants are an easy 5-10 minute walk.

I wanted somewhere quiet to get some sun, away from the big city bustle, and this was one of my best stays in a long time. The guys were welcoming and helpful, the rooms were clean, and the spa was top notch. I felt very well looked after. I'd recommend it for a short or long stay, and I'll definitely come back next time I'm in Lisbon.

The Villa has a peaceful, charming feel that made it easy to unwind, and every corner was spotless. The staff were so welcoming, from check-in through the attentive service throughout our stay. They went above and beyond and made us feel at home as soon as we arrived. We had a wonderful time and can't recommend this relaxing getaway enough.
