Areias do Seixo Villas

The Hotel is amazing, I had an Excellent breakfast, and a superior massage. Without a doubt he best hotel i stood in!

Beautiful hotel with such a serene atmosphere, very attentive and lovely staff. Rooms are large and well appointed with balconies overlooking the ocean. There are fire places in the rooms and you can’t help but relax from the moment you walk in the lobby throughout your stay. I would highly recommend.

We arrived on Saturday, ready for a week in paradise. By Sunday, the villa had transformed into a live set for Attack of the Flies—200+ swarming the kitchen, living room, floors, sofas, and even the bedrooms. Nothing says “relaxing getaway” like playing fly assassin at 1 am and still waking up to find your room crawling with survivors. We get it: sometimes nature has other plans. What we don’t get is how the hotel staff’s solution was to hand us some spray cans and a shrug. Their “excuse”? Fertilized crops nearby. When we pointed out that the hotel itself was blissfully fly-free, they admitted it gets regular treatments. Villas, however, are apparently left to fend for themselves. They even let it slip that this particular villa is known to have fly problems. So why no effort to help? They flat-out refused to visit the villa or offer anything beyond, “Here’s some spray. Good luck.” Here’s the kicker: it wasn’t the flies that made us leave early—it was the lack of service. A good hotel or reputable villa rental company steps in when guests need help. Here, the staff showed zero interest in ensuring we felt comfortable. The villa was left entirely to us, including cleaning up after a problem we didn’t create, and still had to pack up and go because being completely ignored isn’t what we signed up for. To add insult to injury, when we politely informed the owner, their response was to assume we left the villa in chaos. They even suggested the mess was our fault, making wild claims about food stains and dirty dishes in rooms we never used for eating. Sure, blame your paying guests instead of acknowledging the real problem. This wasn’t just disappointing - it was infuriating. This could have been paradise, but bad management turned it into anything but. A stunning villa with terrible management is worse than no villa at all. Service matters—and here, there wasn’t any.

Cocky staff, ineffective and empty in their attitudes. Could not solve problems, only give us an ******* blah blah about how nature is supposed to be when (not) having wanted to deal with an infestation of flies in our house that eventually drove us away 5 days before we intended to check out. Its always about the service…..

This place is pure magic. It DELIGHTS every one of your senses. The lobby, the room, the grounds are all like a rustic oasis. The elevated indooor/outdoor jacuzzi tub in the room is decadent. Breakfast is delicious. The Spa so relaxing (my husband had the best massage ever.) Yoga in the yurt with a fire going and tea ready for you is the most zen way to start the day. The complimentary bikes allowed us to explore nearby areas which was fun! (though we couldn't wait to get back. :) And to top all of this off, the staff went above and beyond, especially Maria at the front desk. You will have trouble leaving this place!

We Attended our daughter’s wedding here on a 3 day stay. The hotel itself grabs your attention with its Sheek minimalism as the area is very traditional with small villages and red tiled roofs. The staff were fantastic and couldn’t be more helpful. Outside very rustic with organic kitchen garden and wild rugged paths down to the sea. The wedding party took over the hotel for two nights and then we resumed to normal guest arrangements on the last day. The food was beautifuly prepared and the fact that you see it growing even in the dining room which was an open plan greenhouse structure added to the experience. Would highly recommend a visit here.
