01 · In a sentence

Hotel Capela Das Artes, Algarve, Portugal in Alcantarilha, open MayAugust.

Perched in the heart of the Algarve's countryside, Hotel Capela Das Artes commands sweeping views of rolling cork forests and Mediterranean terrain from its elevated position at KM 61 on Route N125.

This converted 18th-century chapel and surrounding estate rises above the flatlands of Alcantarilha, offering unobstructed sightlines across the region's natural landscape.

Stone architecture anchors the property to its historic roots while modern amenities serve contemporary wedding celebrations.

We had a wonderful breakfast here, and toured the grounds. What a delightful property. A treasure. The breakfast was very tasty in a nice window filled room. Service was friendly. The owner toured us around the historic and artistic property. One of a kind. The pool area is also a gem. Quiet and not crowded. Beautiful views at every angle. I will return!
