3HB Falésia Garden in Olhos de Água, open MayAugust.

Perched above the Algarve coastline, 3HB Falésia Garden commands sweeping views of golden cliffs and Atlantic waters from its clifftop position in Olhos de Água.

The hotel's terraced gardens descend toward the sea, offering multiple ceremony and reception spaces with unobstructed panoramas.

Stone pathways, native vegetation, and natural rock formations create an open-air setting where the landscape itself becomes your backdrop.

We have just got back from a 5 day stay here . Our room was cleaned every day , it was very spacious. The beds are a bit hard . The staff are A* , the la cart restaurant was absolutely fabulous, plus the other restaurant was very good . Lovely pool area with enough beds and the walk to the beach was lovely . Definitely recommend and with it being our 1st visit to Portugal it made it a fabulous experience. Thankyou Sarah & Dave x
