House Alvor

A friend and I spent 10 days here in August 2025, and loved the place. You can walk to the beach, restaurants, supermarket and bars from this perfect location. The couple who run it are friendly and always ready to help. Our rooms were nice and clean, and we really enjoyed breakfast. We'll most likely return this year and explore more of Algarve.

We canceled our fully refundable trip in good time, three weeks before the last day, but the hotel still took our money and refuses to refund it. We had chosen to pay at the hotel, so we don't understand how this happened. They made three unauthorized charges totaling 1056 euro on my wife's and my cards without our knowledge or consent, then tried more times until our bank blocked them. I've seen many reviews describing multiple unauthorized charges too. Do not use this accommodation. If you have already booked, block your debit or credit card as soon as possible.

We had to postpone our vacation and canceled the room through Expedia within the free-cancellation period. The hotel says the booking couldn't be canceled, but the booking details and Expedia said otherwise. Even after Expedia and I contacted the manager several times to ask for a refund, the hotel refused to return the amount already debited. It still hasn't been refunded, which is really unfortunate. I can't rate the hotel itself.

I spent five nights at this lovely BnB. Lucy and Larsen were the best hosts I've ever met, and both the room and breakfast were lovely. The room was clean, the breakfast brilliant, and I'd definitely come back.
