Casa dos Arcos is a very special manor house. Its a 300 years old palace built in the 18th century, where a noble family used to live. The house and its interior remains pure and original providing the opportunity to travel in time and enjoy our unique atmosphere. It's perfectly located, right in the center of the old town in Albufeira, less than 656 feet from the beach. Located in one of the oldest and most famous streets right next to the center square. You can find all that you need in walking distance (ex: supermarket, restaurants, bars, shops, transports). We have a fully equipped kitchen with all the necessary appliances at you're disposal. We actually have a supermarket just next door from the house. We also feature indoor and outdoor common areas were you can relax, socialize or do some work. Every private room is quite spacious and includes a private bathroom, some rooms include a balcony overlooking the oldtown while other have a window showing our garden. Each room is unique and features characteristics and decoration that remind you that you are staying in an old Portuguese Palace. In the private rooms you will find a private bathroom, as well as tasteful furniture and decoration. You should find most of the commodities that you would expect from a hotel room, such as complementary towels, water, soap, shampoo and hairdryer. Every dorm has a private bathroom, every bed includes bed linen and towel. There is also lockers for every guest. Hope to see you soon!

Property info

Casa dos Arcos is a very special manor house. Its a 300 years old palace built in the 18th century, where a noble family used to live. The Viscounts of Albufeira. We did our best to preserve and restore the interior of the house providing the opportunity to travel in time and enjoy our unique atmosphere. It's perfectly located, right in the center of the old town in Albufeira, less than 200 meters from the beach. Situated in one of the oldest and most famous streets right next to the center square. However, there are no bars on this street, so it is possible to have a good night sleep. We also have a cofee shop and restaurant (Café In-Certo) were guests can have breakfast or enjoy a good wine and portuguese tapas. You can find all that you need in walking distance (ex: supermarket, restaurants, bars, shops, transports). We have a fully equipped kitchen with all the necessary appliances at you're disposal and you have a supermarket just next door. We also feature plenty of indoor and outdoor common areas were you can relax, socialize or do some work. In all private rooms you will find a private bathroom, as well as tasteful furniture and decoration. You should find most of the commodities that you would expect from a hotel room, such as complementary bed linen, towels, soap, shampoo, shower gel, hairdryer and a tray with water, coffee and tea.
