Pestana Casino Studios

The apartments were in a great location with a lovely swimming pool and great to be able to use the facilities in the hotel including the beautiful pool. The apartment was lovely and bright and handy to have the kitchenette. We were delighted with the sea view which was well worth paying extra. The staff were fantastic. We were greeted by a lovely, bubbly helpful girl at reception who was very friendly & helpful as were all of the staff at reception. The cleaning staff were also lovely & friendly & did a great job. Thank you all for helping to make our holiday one

Great location , really attentive and friendly staff, no issues whatsoever with anything, air con works so well and the room was so spacious and comfortable for the week to be staying. The multiple pool access in the hotel and at the apartments were gorgeous and had lots of space not too busy. We rented a car which cost 12€ every 24 hours in the casino car park a minute walk from Pestana studios. You can also pay parking on the street but the car park seemed safer and an easier place to park for us. The location is perfect just a walk from great restaurants, pubs shops etc

No breakfast is included in the Pestana Casino Studios ( no onsite restaurant) ; there is is reduced price for breakfast at the adjacent Pestana Casino Hotel., which we took advantage of a few times. Because the studios have a small kitchen area, we generally made our own breakfasts. There's a small corner store close by on the hill below which is quite adequate, or we brought in food from the grocery store or market. Plus there's a great choice of restaurants nearby. The front desk staff were excellent; welcoming, knowledgeable and helpful. It was great have their friendly service. Thank you ladies! Plus the cleaning staff were good; we were appreciative of their daily services. . Our few requests were dealt with promptly.; e.g. adding a hot water kettle in the kitchen area, removing a fold up cot that we didn't require. We reserved for a month's stay, which was a bit cheaper for a long stay. We didn't rent a car, so we mainly walked around, plus took an occasional taxi/tour, or the local bus. The local parks and gardens are superb. There's lots to explore! And we enjoyed the music venues, too.

its a good location as you walk down through a park to the city centre. We like to do our own breakfast so it was good to have a kitchenette. You can also use the facilities at the Pestana Casino hotel next door which has fabulous views.
