Lovely views and great food. Room 8B is not shown on their website and riddled with cockroaches
Am currently staying at this hotel and the restaurant and food are great, views amazing and it’s quiet. But in all honesty my room 8B is the one they don’t show on the website because it seems to have been a storeroom that has been made into a room. It is riddled with cockroaches. Staff are friendly but only as much as necessary; they don‘t go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. Breakfast staff remove your plates before you are finished eating, which got a bit frustrating.
Overall as a solo female traveler, I cannot give a great review, which is a shame. Please urgently take care of the cockroach problem in that room! I expect more from a 4 star hotel. Thank you
Great Location, Even Better Staff
Wow... what a destination - that was our first impression when we walked into the hotel. The hotel sits on a bluff overlooking a spectacular, cliff-lined beach. The restaurant, pool, and garden all revolve around this viewpoint, which makes for spectacular sunsets and satisfying sunbathing. The beach is walking distance (though a hill makes it a bit of a trudge), and Ponta da Piedade is a short hike away for those that don't mind longer treks.
The rooms themselves were good, not exceptional. (Note: we stayed in one of their more economical rooms with no view... which may be the right balance for the budget traveler). The bed was two twins pushed together, and the floor space was limited (not cramped), which felt very standard for a European boutique hotel like this. That said, the bar, the restaurant, and pool deck were all highlight locations and where we wanted to spend out time anyway.
I do need to should out to the staff. From the front desk to the bar staff to the restaurant staff to the housekeeping staff, the folks working at Vivenda Miranda were all extraordinarily personable and helpful. In some ways, the staff felt almost like a cruise ship where we started to build relationships, engage in running jokes, and continue conversations with the folks we'd see every day. I can recall few hotels with such a fun staff.
Overall, a great place to stay in Algarve.
Amazing Staff and Location
I can’t express how much we appreciate everyone at Vivenda Miranda.
We stated here for 4 days and were married on the gardens on top of the cliff.
Everything was fantastic from the quality of the food to the location. The staff was so friendly and really went out of the way to make everyone feel welcome. The staff even captured some amazing candid moments from our celebration and shared them with us the following.
5/5⭐️ across the board

Best in Portugal
Year on year never fakes to impress 10 out of 10 from staff to food to setting
An Absolute Gem in Porto de Mós
Vivenda Miranda really is a hidden gem. We have an apartment in Porto de Mós and spend around half of our time here, and we can honestly say this has become one of our favourite places to eat locally.
The setting is absolutely beautiful, with the most amazing views, but it’s the combination of the food, atmosphere and wonderful staff that makes it so special.
We recently had the cataplana and it was quite simply the best we have ever had – absolutely delicious and packed with flavour. The whole menu is fantastic and you can tell there is real care and quality behind the food.
The staff are excellent – warm, friendly and attentive without being intrusive – and the whole experience feels relaxed yet special.
We enjoyed it so much that we’ve decided we need our “Vivenda Miranda fix” at least once a fortnight while we’re here!
Amazing food, stunning views, fabulous staff and a beautiful setting. We feel very lucky to have somewhere this good practically on our doorstep.
Highly recommended – we will most definitely be regulars.
