Location

Menu could have been clearer as starters were muddled with mains and some starters could have been a main course

Villa Turistica is the main hotel in the delightful, fairly remote village of Bubion. For such a small village the hotel is very well-appointed. The rooms are in self-contained apartment blocks in a lovely distributed setting with associated outdoor spaces. My single room was better than expected - two large rooms, a well-equipped bathroom and veranda. The main hotel building has a restaurant every night and the staff were welcoming and professional. My visit was a solo hiking trip of 3 days and Bubion is just about the best location for hikes up and down the Poqueira valley although a rental car is advisable.

While not a problem with the hotel at all, Bubion has very limited dining options at least in April. Like many travellers, I try not to eat in the hotel restaurant every single evening as it becomes rather monotonous and unadventurous. Some nights there was nowhere else to eat within walking distance. I expect in summer the choice is larger. The car park is not large enough. When the hotel is even partially full, it's a little chaos negotiating the randomly-parked vehicles. One one occasion I had to drive into the village and park on the street, without knowing whether it was permitted!

Near to the village and very clean outside space and pool area. Great place to relax.

The bed was very hard.
