The room was very comfortable and the staff were all so friendly and helpful. The receptionist, Cátia, gave us great recommendations for restaurants and was always very welcoming and warm. The room was very clean and had everything we needed. The best part was the view. We had a lovely big balcony/terrace with tables and chairs and an outdoor couch, with two sunbeds, looking out over the beach and the sea - absolutely stunning. Location-wise, the hotel was a couple-minutes walk from the beach and restaurants and any other amenities you might need.

The breakfast was convenient, delivered to our door, and we were able to enjoy it on our terrace overlooking the sea. But for €15 per person, don't think it's good value for money. It was fine for one day, but we wouldn't have it any more than that.

This room had a fantastic view of the ocean and beach, great terrace with a little table and lounge chairs. Hostess was very helpful and breakfast served in little picnic baskets was very good and a good value. Sitting outside on the terrace having breakfast and watching the waves crashing on the rocks was priceless! There are some very good Portuguese restaurants that our hostess recommended, we were not disappointed.

Nothing

Castelo Guest House offers an unbeatable view, with the beautiful Carvoeiro beach and cliffs right outside the window. The staff were extremely friendly. During our stay, it happened to rain, but they provided us with many rainy-day travel suggestions, such as visiting museums, wineries, and castles. Thanks to their recommendations, we had the chance to explore the castle in the charming town of Silves. The rain came and went during our stay, and the cushions on the balcony chairs got wet. The staff quickly provided spare cushions, allowing us to enjoy the stunning view during the rare moments of sunshine. The indoor common area (the lobby) is quite small, but each room has a balcony where guests usually have breakfast. There are also two chairs next to the reception desk, which made for a comfortable spot to do some work on winter mornings. Housekeeping was done daily, keeping the room clean and tidy.

The only issue was that the shower glass didn’t seem to seal completely, causing some water to leak out and dampen the floor mat. At times, an extra towel was needed to soak up the water. Fortunately, fresh towels were provided every day, so it wasn’t too much of a problem.

Castelo guest house is in a great location overlooking the beach in Carvoeiro. Carvoeiro is a very charming town on the beach in Algarve and was nice, quiet and peaceful in November. It seems that this town is a hotspot for British and German tourists and ex-pats. Castelo's staff was great, it is a small hotel / b&b that has a nice clean, cozy vibe to it. We stayed here for the end of our Honeymoon and enjoyed the location and proximity to the beach and restaurants. We also easily visited Ferragudo and Portimao from here. Great place to watch the sunset or take a short walk to the beach or the miroduros. Breakfast was great and delivered to the room in cute picnic baskets for breakfast in bed or on the terrace. Rooms are on the smaller side but cozy and still have good storage, comfortable beds and good bathrooms. Book this place for the view, and go and enjoy the town.

Only downside to the stay is that the walls are paper thin, we were on our honeymoon and given room 4, which has an amazing view of the ocean, but is literally right behind the reception desk and practically located in the lobby. You could hear staff delivering breakfast and working in the lobby in the morning, guests coming in/out and felt like we had to keep our voices down or were not really in a private room because of this.

Loved the view and helpfulness of the staff.

Would’ve appreciated some basics like coffee and tea.

The hotel is in a great location and the view is truly really really beautiful! The room was very clean, the bed was comfortable and the room felt fresh.

There's no sound isolation in any of the walls.. We are used to sounds and are not normally bothered when sleeping and such, but hearing every word being said in the lobby (even when spoken quietly) as well as knowing that in the lobby people can hear our private conversation from our room made us feel at unease and felt like we have no privacy at all.. . The private balcony/terraces are connected and only few chairs or plants "separating" them so you can see other people on their balcony, which didn't feel very enjoyable either. Bathroom door in the room was made of glass as well, so there wasn't even privacy feeling when in the bathroom :D Even though the view was nice and the room was nice, due to the privacy aspect I would not stay in the hotel again for the amount of money it costs.

Location was great. View was spectacular and the staff couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful. Perfect little spot for a few nights. Thank you

Sadly, it was pouring with rain when I was there so wasn’t able to have breakfast as planned on the terrace over-looking the sea. No inside options unless you want to eat in your room. Parking is a bit hit and miss - first come first serve on the street. We were there off- season, so no problems, but I imagine fairly impossible during high season. You’d just have to be prepared to drop off your bags and then go and fine parking.

The staff where extremely friendly and accommodating, the view from the balconies was superb and the balcony was fully furnished for lying out and breakfast. We enjoyed having an evening drink and snacks overlooking the bay. The room was cleaned to a high standard every day with fresh towels. We enjoyed their breakfast on offer one morning and this was both excellently presented and delicious as well as great value. The bed was extremely comfortable and the bathroom was modern with an excellent shower. Parking was no problem, there were always spaces just outside the door.

The whole experience in the O Castelo Guest House was a dream. The best thing is the view from the room and the large balcony with the breathtaking view. In O Castelo Guest House, cleanliness is a top priority. The room was sparkling clean when we got it and they clean the room very thoroughly every day. The staff are extremely nice and helpful. I warmly recommend the O Castelo for a wonderful stay.

Location overlooking beach / listening to the waves at night. Reception very warm friendly and welcoming. Not too far up the hill to manage. Only 3 minutes down to beach. Parking outside and on road no problem. Room spotless and well equipped. Perfect shower. Fridge in room to cool the wine down. The outside terrace area was superb to enjoy as the sun went down.

Everything was great.
