We were walking the Rota Vincenta and this was a prebooked hotel as part of the trip. It was lovely. The village buildings, the bar/restaurant, reception, pool, walking in the area. All just fantastic. I cant wait to return. The houses are all individual, ours had self catering options which we did not need to use but it was pretty well appointed. The team on reception were very helpful, bearing in mind we dont speak portuguese or know the country. So all in all a good visit and a stong recommendation.

A magical place. I would highly recommend. Very attentive managerial staff. Nestled in a small agricultural valley a picturesque village tastefully restored. I will plan to return soon. Perhaps in the summer. There is a pool. I wish there was a sauna! But you cannot not have it all! Enjoy!

Pedralva, a rural village in the concelho of Vila do Bispo, once inhabited by 100 people, has begun a painful process of desertification. Since 2006, it has been restored to habitable condition using old materials. Some of the houses are rented out by Aldeia da Pedralva as "hotel" accommodation. You can use the restaurant and breakfast buffet. The swimming pool is under construction 🚧 and thus closed. The patio of our room Casteljo could not be used as the patio furniture was broken. The property itself is authentic and has everything. However, luxury should not be expected. The property was clean and the bed linen etc was neat.

This Aldeia is a tiny hamlet lost in the countryside, with maybe a dozen locals at most and the tourists that visit it. It's lovely, and a completely different experience. I needed two rooms, and wanted outside time, so rented a small house with a patio. Very ample, the kid's room had two bunk beds, the LR had two sofas, great space outside (take repellent) and kitchen had everything. No AC, no window screens and many mosquitoes. I chose the Aldeia for it's "dog friendly" status, but the restaurant refused to accommodate us in anyway, not even sitting outside on a warm evening. I know it's the "law" but it's one that hotels chose to enforce or not. It seems quite hypocritical for such a rural Aldeia with such tiny populations to refuse service because I have a 9 Lbs/4 kg toy poodle... That's the only thing that bothered me.

Aldeia da Pedralva is set in a tiny, remote village in the southwestern corner of Portugal, 20 minutes drive from Amada Beach on the Atlantic coast. At Amada Beach you can surf or hike a beautiful part of the coastal walk, Fisherman’ Trail. We stayed in a quaint and quiet corner house called Furnas with two bedrooms. It was very clean and quaint. The bedrooms consisted of a master and a bunkbed room, both large rooms. The cleaners come daily, upon request. They are ever so friendly and do a really good job. The reception was closed when we arrived at 18:20, but the keys were left for us at the restaurant. The pool area is a little bleak, overlooking some water tanks and construction work.

We loved the concept behind this hotel. A group of friends ‘rescuing’ a dying village and turning it into an authentic experience of how the locals used to live. It was a delightful and picturesque place to stay, and we were glad we went there. That said, we do like some comforts. A fan of some sort would have made our nights so much more comfortable; we ultimately took a risk with comfort and airflow from street accessible windows and doors, over feelings of personal security. There are stairs to the bedroom and the front door, so accessibility will be an issue for some. On the positive side, dinner at Sitio da Pedralva was fantastic, as was the service. The flaming chorizo was a highlight, but in truth all the food was good. Families can self cater, although the nearest supermarket is about 7km away and there are limited supplies at the village itself, so being whatever you need in terms of food if you don’t want to eat out. The pool and kids playground are basic.

Really a nice place to recover and discover and hike in the Algarve region. Clean and calm appartments to have a restful sleep. Very good restaurant in the "Slow Village". All staff very friendly and accomodating. We would recommend Aldeia da Pedralva to our friends.

You need to look for this small jewel! The restaurant is so immersive in the heart of Portugal, the food super delicious, the code fish inside the bread was incredible! The meat and the chicken were big dishes with delicious vegetables on side! Hope to return soon maybe in the summer to appreciate also the wonderful terrace!

Nice place in an once derelict village now rebuilt essentially for tourism. A very nice idea to bring life to the village again. The restaurant needs to be booked the day before as July and maybe August are busy months. But there are plenty of places in villages nearby if one has a car.
