Vila São Vicente - Adults Only

Vila São Vicente - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent
"This was the smallest hotel we have stayed in , but just perfect . Not modern but clean & perfect location to the old town & the marina. Ideal pool with enough loungers for how small the hotel was . Breakfast was continental but always topped up . Only thing we would of liked would of been a kettle in our room or one from reception."
