My husband and I stayed a week in the Solferias, third floor, sea view. I was a bit wary after reading reviews, but you get what you pay for. The lobby really smelt bad, but a few days in to the holiday I realised it's a common feature of Caiverio in general, they have had problems wit their sewers due... More

I returned from a one week holiday in Carveiro at the end of September, having travelled with my Mum and sister. I had read the mixed reviews on this site before going and so had an open mind about what to expect. On first impression as you drive up to the hotel it looks very clean and pleasant. The lobby...

Just returned from Solferias - yes some of the decor may be dated but they are slowly doing the hotel up and some rooms on the ground floor are now whitewashed! Our apartment was very big; towels changed every day; beds changed every other day. Staff so friendly and helpful. Nice pool. Happy hour in the bar 3 times a... More

Absolutely loved Praia do Carvoeiro and would definitely go back, lovely small village type place, gorgeous smallish bay / beach. Doce Mar Cafe a real find where many locals go for good cheap snacks, amazing coffee and amusement from the waiter Paolo. But... the hotel was really really poor. Why oh why does this hotel have carpets, they just looked... More

We booked this place for two nights at the end of August while we waited for our private accommodation to become available. Good points- the staff were accommodating and friendly. Carvoiero itself is lovely , however the hotel is situated at the top of a monster hill, which they do not tell you about. When we arrived we were put... More

Having read the reviews,we feared the worst to the extent that we tried to cancel the week before our weekend break. However,while it is not four star,is not as bad as portrayed in some of the reviews and actually quite good value for money. The room,and balcony/terrace are spacious and clean,with very basic kitchen facilities.Decor is a bit unusual and... More

Had fabulous 10 nights.Nothing was to much trouble for the staff huge double room cleaned every other day.ask for rooms above ground floor ours was 3rd floor front facing and the views from our huge balcony were over the town and the sea. This hotel was a pleasant surprise after reading the reviews the only ones we can agree with... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at Solferias for 11 nights in the middle of June and we had a brilliant holiday but this hotel is definitely not 4 stars. Positives: The rooms were cleaned every day and we were given fresh towels every day. The hotel staff are really friendly. The pool is great, the shallow end is shallow and... More

The rating for this property did not accurately describe the extremely inferior apartments. Basic equipment such as kettle and toaster were not provided. Cockroaches, I have since been informed do not indicate an unclean apartment. However, they were sufficiently large for us to have no alternative but to move out after one night's stay. The apartments are well known to... More
