My husband and I stayed here for three nights at the end of May. Tamsin and Andy have created a welcoming refuge for travellers on the Algarve.

My husband and I stayed at the Calcada guesthouse this past April and were very pleased with the experience. The owners are very accomodating and hospitable. The rooms are very clean and they have a wonderful terrace on top of the house which we thoroughly enjoyed. It was wonderful having breakfast on the terrace and enjoying a panoramic view of... More

I really enjoyed my stay at the lovely decorated Calcada guesthouse. The warm hospitality and the gorgeous breakfast made it a perfect holiday! I’ll definitely recommend it to whoever heads for Portugal and I hope I’ll be able to come back soon.

The location is excellent with all the eating places and a free car park within a two minute walk. The rooms were brand new, spotless, modern and decorated in a very tasteful style. The beds were very comfortable and... More
