Hidden gem

Armando and Linda were amazing hosts and we appreciated their recommendation for the boat tour to see the caves including Bengali. We very much enjoyed the delicious food that they served at the Sunshine restaurant as well as relaxing by the pool in the beautiful yard.

A cozy and friendly place with everything you need for a comfortable stay, good food, and easy acces

We stayed here for a few nights and had a very good experience. The room was small but very clean and had everything needed for a comfortable rest. Breakfast is simple, as the hotel has only a few rooms, so you shouldn’t expect a big variety — but there is enough of everything to start the day well. This place is perfect for an overnight stay when traveling by car, with a very fair price. From here, it’s easy to reach all the main attractions in the Algarve by car. The hotel also has a great restaurant where you can enjoy excellent Portuguese food and wine. The owner of both the hotel and the restaurant is very friendly and helpful, which made our stay even more pleasant.

Great stay!

Great accommodation with amazing owners. My room was clear and spacious. Breakfast had everything you need: coffee, fresh juice, warm bread and something sweet. There is also a pool with clear water and sunbeds. Neighborhood was calm, I felt safe during my stay as a solo-travel woman.

Highly recommend

Linda and Armando were extremely welcoming upon my arrival. They were very accommodating throughout my stay, making sure I had everything and gave me ideas on what to do during my solo travel. The food prepared during my stay was exquisite! They had a beautiful garden situated outside the villa, which was a very calming and it had a peaceful atmosphere. All the staff team at sunshine were extremely nice and welcoming also. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to visit Albufeira to stay with Linda and Armando at their Sunshine accommodation.

I recommend Sunshine to everyone, it is simply the best place to stay in Algarve. :)

We stayed here for a week and had an amazing experience. The owners and the whole staff were extremely welcoming and kind, we felt like home from the first minute. Our room was cleaned every single day, which was totally beyond our expectations. The food is great, the garden is beautiful.

Best place ever!

We are definetly coming back! Linda and Armando make you feel at home all the time and the place is amazing! Very beautiful and peaceful, makes you never want to leave. Very close to Albufeira. If you rent a car (a must) there is a private car park too. This was our home away from home. We are planning to come back every 2 years from now! The food is amazing too, especially the local cuisine! Thank you Restaurante Sunshine for the best holiday!!
