Swim-up Rooms & Private Pools in Sesimbra

This property is charming! This area is made up of small villages in a country setting. The property sits just on the edge of these towns, quiet and spacious with lovely landscaping and outdoor seating. There was a pool but it was too late in the season for us to use it. Our bed was very comfortable, the bath more than adequate with lots of warm water. The breakfast was exceptional, with lot of options. The owners had a very clever way of organizing it. You were offered a menu with several selections. Each morning your meal was prepared and tucked into a basket. When you were ready to eat, you would pick up your basket and pick an area to sit, maybe the garden, the indoor dining area, or maybe under the veranda next to the pool. It was lovely. If eggs were part of your meal, they were promptly prepared and served hot and fresh. The owner was friendly, helpful and considerate. At check-in he immediately offered an orientation and answered questions. With a car, the property is convenient to the ocean and sites. It was a comfortable and extremely pleasant place to stay.

The entire complex is absolutely gorgeous, the kitchen and living room are a beautiful design and the whole place is so quaint! The pool is a really decent size and has plenty of sun loungers. The hosts are so incredibly helpful and helped us so much with taxis for 11 of us to a wedding even though we made it a challenge for them and left it til last minute! So thank you so much for the effort. The hotel is quite remote so if you need transport, especially for bigger groups I would recommend letting the hosts know in advance. The breakfast was so delicious and comes in really sweet little boxes, with fresh fruit, fresh juice (different each day!) fresh bread and eggs. Absolutely loved our stay here and would highly recommend!

The guesthouse is very quiet. It is located close to the Arrabida National Park, to the gorgeous Cabo Espichal and to many beaches. The common space is beautifully organized, with a large living room where you can spend time in the evening or on a rainy day, a nice swimming pool, and a large garden. The breakfast was very nice, with fresh fruit, warm bread, homemade jam, cheese, and cold cuts (if you want: they ask for your wishes the day before). The owners are welcoming and helpful. Our room was large, with a comfortable bed, beautiful furniture, and a large cupboard. The bathroom was large and clean. We hope to visit again during the warm season.

It’s very cute, comfortable, quiet and cosy - you might even say homely. Had a great welcome and Mario and his staff are incredible friendly. We were want for nothing and loved being somewhere where we did not have to worry about the parking and could get easily to and from seisimbra . Breakfast was great and the outdoor area with the pool is lovely weather permitting . Recommend highly for a relaxing few days and especially if you want to be close to Arrabida and seisimbra.

We booked 2 nights with the intention to relax at the end of our 2 week trip. We did not know much about the area. It turned out to be just the perfect location and the perfect accommodation for us! We could have stayed longer. The pool area is great and partly in the shade. We spent our afternoons just chilling in the garden. Closeby you also have some nice beaches, restaurants and a winery. But you definitely need a car.

Perfect holiday villa. I can't fault it. I will definitely rerun.

Perfect for a family stay. It was spacious and modern with everything we needed. The location was also nice, close to restaurants and a short drive to the beach.

Quiet area. Modern. Well kept. Had all amenities

The villa was wonderful and spacious with excellent facilities. The pool and jacuzzi are wonderful to swim and relax. There is more than enough Room for a large family or two if travelling together.

This is a fabulous hotel that offers a relaxing and tranquil atmosphere. Our room (balcony overlooking the pool) was just as described on the hotel’s website and was calm and spacious. The pool area was immaculately maintained and chill. The staff were friendly and welcoming…especially considering our lack of Portuguese, they were great with English and very patient. The breakfast buffet had lots of tasty options, the food throughout our entire stay was excellent. Really enjoyed our entire stay.

The view from the bedroom of the swimming pool and onto the ocean were fantastic. The complementary shuttle into Sesimbra was great too. Lovely pool and really reasonably priced bar food and drinks. Can’t wait to go back.

Plenty of breakfast options available - it'd have to be a very fussy eater who couldn't find something suitable ! Had dinner one evening in the restaurant which was also good. Lots of space by the pool and never any difficulty finding a sunbed. The room was a good size, very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Nice to have a little grassy garden for a 'balcony' for a change (we had a pool view room) ! As often is the case, some previous negative reviews made us wary in advance, but our worries were completely unfounded.

We thoroughly enjoyed this hotel. As we like to walk, making our way to the beach was a bit of an adventure. Hotel is conveniently located near the walking trail to the castle. The pool area was lovely with lots of chairs and umbrellas. The breakfast was outstanding with lots of choices. The restaurant atmosphere was nice and food was very good. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Would definitely stay again.

We stayed in a two bedroom suite with our dog. The suite was spacious, clean, had two balconies overlooking the pool with a distant view of the sea, well equipped, quiet. Simply stunning. The hotel gardens are well kept and very pleasant, with dog friendly areas. Breakfast was great. If you don’t know Sesimbra, be prepared for a uphill walk to the hotel.😅

I had read great reviews about this hotels before booking, and we weren't disappointed. The hotel is lovely - big, sea-facing rooms with balconies, lovely decor and everything felt really clean and newly done. The facilities such as the infinity pool, pool area, spa (albeit a little small), and the bonus of being able to walk straight out onto the beach (and the local shops / restaurants etc all along the beach) were all fabulous. The staff were lovely, really helpful, and the breakfast buffet was a really good one - lots of options, lovely quality food etc. Sesimbra itself was quite quiet when we stayed (first week of June) but restaurants etc were definitely busier at the weekend, and I understand the area swings into peak season from July. Would definitely recommend!

Me and my girlfriend were here last week and we had a good time. The room was nice and the view from the balcony was stunning. The breakfast was alright with a nice selection. Sadly we did not get to try the pool as it was rather cold out during our stay and the pool is not heated. Next time we stay will be in the summer when it’s warmer. He had a good time and enjoyed everything the hotel has to offer

Having just spent 5 nights here on a mother daughter trip I would definitely recommend a stay and would love to come back. The hotel is situated opposite the beach and has easy access to the promenade that stretches the length of Sesimbra with its beautiful sandy beach and numerous restaurants. We stayed in a deluxe premium room that had a balcony with stunning views over the beach and sea. The room was spacious with excellent storage facilities and a bathroom with a walk in shower. It was so relaxing just sitting out on the balcony and enjoying the view. We also arranged to meet family at the hotel who stayed in a suite and so were lucky enough to spend time in their room…..superb accommodation and well worth the upgrade if you’re looking for something a bit special. Breakfast offered a good selection of cereals, pastries, cold meats, hot food and fruit. The choices of drinks were plentiful and you can even start the day with a glass of fizz! We made good use of the infinity pool, enjoying the view overlooking the sea and were always able to secure a spot to sunbathe. Unfortunately we ran out of time to use the Spa facilities…..but another reason for a return stay!

We were very impressed with the location of this hotel - front row seats to 24-hour ocean waves. There was a glitch with the water/pipes in the wing we were in and we had to move rooms. The staff was apologetic and amazing in their professionalism to find solutions that worked. Staff was very pleasant and friendly. Rooms are spacious and clean. Every room has a balcony I think. The seagulls float in the outdoor pool which is kind of nasty but since it’s January we didn’t plan on swimming out there. The location to local eateries is very close too which is a bonus. The tile work on the walls at floor 0 and up to floor 5 is amazing. I recommend this hotel to people. We enjoyed our stay very much. The village is beautiful. The people and staff are nice!

Lovely hotel with fantastic views over the bay in Sesimbea. The hotel has been designed to ensure every room has a sea view which is amazing given its size. Our room was a standard double and was a very good size with plenty of cupboard space. The hotel staff were very helpful and pleasant during the stay. The only two minor gripes I had were: 1. The condition of the spa, which was tired in places with the indoor pool requiring an underwater light to be screwed back into place for the duration of the stay. 2. The hotel did not have an iron for guests to use and would only offer a paid laundry service. I was over for a wedding and my shirt just needed a few creases removing yet I had to pay 3.50 euros for the service.
