Q + A

Ralph &amp; Gilly are staying at this hotel. This is 3-4 minutes from the wedding venue 'Casa Do Lago' by car.

Wyndham Grand Algarve

In this development we would only recommend you book one of their 'Diamond Villas' by contacting Vilar Do Golf directly as the other villas are privately owned and the quality of their condition cannot be guaranteed. Note - Diamond Villas are booked out quickly. The Villas are small but clean and hold up to four people so can be great for sharing! The cost of these villas is lower than the surrounding hotels.

Vilar Do Golf

This hotel is a slightly less expensive than other hotels and is more in the style of a motel but that should not put you off. The hotel is clean, breakfast is included and the rooms are small but well looked after. This is a 10 minute drive away from the wedding venue.

The Magnolia Hotel

The villas are located very close to the venue (walking distance 12 minutes).

Encosta do Lago Resort Club

High-end expensive apartments but beautiful. This location is 15 minutes drive to the wedding venue.

Dunas Douradas Beach Club

This hotel is located 2 minutes drive from the wedding venue and overlooks the beach. It has been around for a long time and although 5 star, probably would be in need of a modern overhaul.

Hotel Quinta do Lago

Nice but pricey. 10 minute drive away from the wedding venue.

Conrad Algarve

This is located in the heart of Vale do Lobo which is 15 minutes drive from the wedding venue. Old hotel, majority of which, if not all has been recently renovated. Overlooks the sea.

Dona Filipa Hotel

Check Tripadvisor as we are not familiar with this place.

Ancão Gardens

SandyBlue - the villa rental specialists

This hotel is located at a distance of approximately 40 minutes from the wedding venue.

3HB Faro

These are very smart cars with well groomed drivers and are a little more expensive than your public cab but please note that their timing is impeccable and public cabs do not frequent this area of the Algarve. Uber, however works successfully in the area.
