Our Guest Comments
Wonderful hotel – We have stayed here previously and, once again, we’re not disappointed. The rooms are a good size with a small kitchen area and dining table. Our balcony overlooked the pool and surrounding countryside. The pool is a good size for swimming. The breakfast are freshly prepared and delicious. Tiago made us feel exceptionally welcome and went out of his way to help. All the staff were very friendly.
Family delight – Thanks you so much for our incredible stay. It was lovely and we really enjoyed the breakfast, pool and tennis! We couldn’t be more grateful!
Being the first guests when Mel opened the hotel in 2009 it’s great to be here again 14 years later! The hotel has become a wonderful hideaway and we enjoyed our stay very much!! The team is absolutely lovely and amazing and the service is excellent. Feels like home… Promise that we will return earlier than in another 14 years. Thank you and all the best. See you soon!
A privilege – What a privilege to discover your corner of paradise! Magnificent landscape that inspires rest and admiration. Thank you for your welcome.
Sweet return – 25 years ago we came on honeymoon. Today we return with our girls. Well done, it is superb.
Lovely oasis – A beautiful, relaxing hotel with wondreful staff and accommodation. A lovely oasis after a long walk.
All perfect – Very friendly, welcoming staff. Very well cared for accommodation and beautiful grounds. Some lovely antique pieces. Lots of beauty in the surroundings. All sorts of knick-knacks provided for our enjoyment – tennis, table tennis, croquet, gum boots, bicycle. We were grateful to have our washing done. There is an honesty bar with an incredibly large selection of drinks and some snacks. I will definitely recommend that you are not in a hurry to leave because the breakfast is spectacular!

Biking group – We are a group of 6 biking north to south from Lisbon. We stayed the night on day 4 of our journey. We were treated very well by both the staff and the weather. What a wonderful place to be! Breakfast was amazing and we are well fed for the next day of our journey. Take a moment on the balcony to appreciate the history here. We are one of many to enjoy this, what a blessing this place is.

Birthday celebration – Thank you so much for the beautiful stay; we had a blast. It was Thomas’s 30th birthday, thank you for helping me set up a nice surprise with a birthday cake! What a wonderful way to start such a day in the sun in this beautiful place.
Floral glory – This has been the 6th time I have stayed at this paradise place and I will always come back to admire the roses.

An excellent hotel in every way – Casa Fajara is in a fabulous location. Very quiet indeed, lovely views, very comfortable, ultra friendly and helpful staff, lovely walking superb beaches, great surfing, beautiful swimming pool, sauna and tennis court as well as a huge yoga room. In short, an excellent place to stay and relax.
Exceptional – Had a sauna, pretty swimming pool. Great breakfast with fresh orange juice.
A wonderful, friendly, homely stay in a beautiful location away from the crowds – Casa Fajara is a wonderful haven of peace and tranquillity off the beaten track in the Western Algarve. We had a dreamy time, weather was not perfect but good enough and due to the disaster that is Covid, we had the place and pool to ourselves!
Special thanks to Nilsa and Thiago for looking after us so well, including providing the most amazing breakfasts. And to the ever friendly Lara who was forgiven for misplacing our booking – having inadvertently pushed it back to 2022! Thankfully the hotel was devoid of guests when we arrived, so finding a room was not an issue! Don’t expect 5-star boutique hotel perfection but do expect but do expect a genuinely wonderful home-from -ome and staff willing to please. This hotel operates on mutual trust and respect – and is all the better for that
We Will Be Back – We have had an amazing time. 17 people just enjoyed themselves. We will be back!!
So Welcoming – We arrived at Casa Fajara tired and dusty after a five-hour walk and found a beautiful oasis. The staff were cheerful and welcoming, the garden full of flowers and our room was large and comfortable with a lovely view of the pool. They even provided fresh herbs for the bath to ease our aching limb. In March the evenings were cool but underfloor heating and log burning stoves kept the hotel cosy. I can’t wait for a return visit.
Truly Unique – If I tell you this is the third time we’ve visited Casa Fajara within 12 months that should be enough to make you understand how special this place is. It’s truly unique and basks in a secluded wonderland of natural beauty. All you can hear is birdsong, plus the garden and grounds are lovely. Glorious roses. If you want to escape and recharge amid magnificent scenery in an atmospheric B&B with chic, rustic rooms please don’t hesitate. Book it!
Great Walking – Perfect stay thank you. Great walking. We will be back.
Beautiful, Friendly Hotel. Cosy and welcoming. We had a lovely stay.
Superb – Superb place in the middle of nature, at the same time close to the beach and a small village. Not too touristic, so not overcrowded. Great place for families with a lot of facilities for kids
Highly Recommended – A beautiful place and a very relaxing stay. Lovely room, excellent facilities, and very helpful staff. We were there in February when it was out of season, so some things weren’t operating, but I’m sure that later in the year it would be fabulous.
Fantastic stay – Many thanks for looking after us so well. So peaceful here, excellent food (thanks for the vegetarian options!) and great walking. We hope to return.”
Perfect ending – What a wonderful place to end our walking holiday. Everything was perfect – the welcome, the rooms, the food and the idyllic surroundings. Thank you to everyone who made this possible
Shame to go home! – It has been fantastic having the whole place to ourselves. What a location and so comfortable. Lovely pool and tennis court and we were well looked after. The seafood at O Sitio do Rio (restaurant in Carrapateira) was superb. Shame to go home.
Cupid’s struck! – We have fallen in love with this place. Casa Fajara is idyllic. The warmth of the welcome and the friendliness of everyone is superb. Food fantastic. Our room was lovely and so tranquil. We could watch an eagle from our balcony – a short-toed eagle. Thank you so much.
So peaceful! – Thank you so much it is so beautifully decorated, peaceful, and friendly. We have had great fun (trying) to play tennis and stroking the cat
Amazing views! – Thank you. We have had a wonderful stay. The hotel and views are amazing.
Beaches Nearby – Delightful location and well placed for the Atlantic coast beaches and walking trails. Lovely public areas and bedroom, superb food and incredibly helpful and friendly staff, not least securing a dentist appointment when I broke a tooth.
Everything Was Perfect!!! Had a great time. Thank you and see you soon.
Wonderful! We enjoyed everything and will be back. Thank you.
So enjoyable – Lovely hotel and lovely staff. We really enjoyed our time here!”
Food is the highlight – Casa Fajara is the best hotel we stayed in during our hotel-to-hotel walking holiday in the Algarve. The surroundings and the hotel itself are beautiful. The staff were always friendly and helpful. The highlight of this hotel must be the top class food – it is a pity we had to eat dinner in other local restaurants for two nights as the restaurant was closed. Overall I would seek out Casa Fajara again.”
Wonderful staff – What an absolutely fabulous place. Gorgeous scenery and wonderful staff. Would love to return when its warm enough to use the pool.
Kids Loved It – A magnificent spot in one of our favourite places. Best breakfast in any hotel we’ve been to! Kids loved it. Thank you.
Wonderful Attention To Detail. Great arrangements for our late arrival. Thank you.
Keep Coming Back! My fifth stay here at Casa Fajara and it gets better every time! Thank you all.
Beautiful Setting – We loved our stay here and wish we were staying longer. Great staff and beautiful setting. Ideal for surfing and countryside walks. Gorgeous seafood. We hope to return soon!

Beautiful Area – A beautiful place that feels and looks like a haven, very nice staff, and friendly owner.
great and quiet location. we were after a long walk and this is the best place to crash
wonderful and beautiful area to experience and explore
A Wonderful Experience – We stayed at Casa Fajara for four nights while walking part of the Rota Vicentina. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the breakfast selection was second to none. We had dinner one evening which was delicious and excellent value for money. Overall, a great hotel experience in a wonderful location close to the beautiful beaches this area has to offer.
Soothed To Sleep – Excellent location, clean facility with lots of local detail, great staff, and breakfast. Beds could be a little softer but after hiking the area and trying the local wine, sleeping was not a problem.
Escape The Madness – What a find. I almost don’t want to tell anyone about it. This is the sort of place the rich and famous would love to escape to but it’s affordable for all. It has just 12 bedrooms, all unique and different with a rustic charm. Large lounge, lovely dining area, pool, yoga room, massage rooms, tennis court, games, table tennis and more. But it’s the ravishing location that truly provides the X-factor. I can’t describe how peaceful it is. It’s like escaping to the Garden of Eden. Love it.
Genuine Warmth – Magnificent as always. Our little piece of paradise to escape the madness of UK life. Wonderful hotel in a glorious location. A place filled with genuine warmth in an extraordinarily beautiful setting.
First Class – We have had the most wonderful relaxing stay. The hospitality and quality at the accommodation has been first class. Thank you so much.
Beautiful hotel surrounded by great walks in rural countryside, yet only a short walk from the village and beach. Great hospitality, lovely rooms and amazing weather. Thank you!
***** 5 Star Hotel! I love the rustic look and the feeling of the rooms and the pool is also very refreshing after a hot day in Carrapateira.
We’ll Be Back – It was a pleasure. Thank you. See you again.
Heaven – The best hotel we’ve ever stayed in with InnTravel (after 6 trips). Fantastic location, so peaceful and tranquil. We have had dinner here for three nights. Absolutely amazing. Delicious and wonderful food. A little piece of heaven.
Nice Staff – Thank you very much Lara for your hospitality. We had lovely days with all of you. The dinners were absolutely delicious. Nice and helpful staff.
