MS Vila Nova

The location was perfect, in walking distance from the airport, which can be felt througout the stay as you could frequently see airplanes landing or taking off but due to the soundproof windows this is not as bothersome (it was kind of cool actually). The swimming pool was nice! (we also had one plane fly directly above us as we swam) - there are like 10 flights a day and only during the day, being a city airport, there are no flights during the night - so you don't have to fear that a plane will wake you up mid-night. The swimming pool was rarely occupied (we were staying mid-may) the initial dip was a bit cold but it got better fast enough. The staff was super nice, especially the bartender we met on our arrival. The room was nice and clean, with water and capsule coffee being refreshed daily (a regular and a decaf per person per day), the breakfast buffet had a wide enough selection so we could mix up our breakfast across our stay (and always it was nice). All in all a perfect stay, I can definitely recommend this hotel. 😊 PS: the maracuja Kima is a must try! (available at the bar)

I absolutely loved everything about this hotel! It's quite small and has a cosy feel about it. The staff are very friendly and professional. The rooms are spacious and spotlessly clean and the breakfast was absolutely delicious - 10 euros for an all you can eat extravaganza with all the trimmings. I also liked that they provided allergy information with the breads (I have a nut allergy). It's a short ride from the airport (the taxi cost us 12 euros) and has an outdoor swimming pool and a nice shared lounge area.

We enjoyed having a room with two easy chairs, instead of the usual one. The bed was huge and had an appropriate size of duvet, also not always the case. Although the balcony overlooked the road, we had a nice view of the coastline and hills. Bus stop outside (yellow line and airport bus).

Good breakfast, warm croissants, impressive! Dinner buffet quality very good but selection differs (not always choice jn proteines). 5 minutes walking to city and under 10 min to airport (10 Euro). Friendly personnel.

Very nice little hotel on the side of the city, close to the airport and harbour and centre of the city. Restaurants very close to the hotel and within walking distance. Staff was very friendly and helpful all the time. We got coffee refiled and drinking water every day. The room had a small fridge and we could store cold drinks in it. Swimming pool looked nice, but it was just too cold for a swim, this time of the year This is a real gem!
