Hotel Quinta da Marinha & Villas Golf Resort, Cascais

Advantages: Cheap, central to both areas
Disadvantages: Not much hot water and no air conditioning

...4 Euros. Our week in Albufeira was very good, the temp was around 85 to 90 during the day and around 70 at night. Walking home on a night was very relaxing and hassel free. You will occasionally see beggers asking for money but just walk on by, unless you want to give them some money. Ok we paid £500 for 3 of us for a week at Quinta, i was quite satisfied with that, but if i had paid 8 or £900 like some others i would proberly wished i had gone to a hotel or higher rating accomodation. Quinta Da bellavista is cheap and chearful, quite comfortable but lacks plenty of hot water and no air conditioning. Ive been to better butive stayed at places also that have been on par with this place. Our group are all adults so we only used the apartments as a place to rest and wash etc. 7 out of 10 for us. more hot water and air con... Read review

...The Lough Erne Golf Resort and Spa is listed on Ciao as a 4 star hotel, but it is now actually a 5 star facility. I have just reached a milestone age, I celebrated my 40th birthday and I asked my husband to arrange a night away for the two of us, a major logistical feat for us. I am a married mother of three children, aged 8, 5 and 15 months and I work full-time so arranging any free time let alone a night away is something of a major event. Why did we choose the Lough Erne Golf Resort? Well to be honest the decision was not based on any strong desire to play golf, well at least not in February. Basically we were looking for somewhere that would offer us a night of luxury, with good food and comfort and somewhere we would not have to travel too far to get to.

...it would have been lovely to sit in in the summer time. ~~~~~~~ Location ~~~~~~~ Hotel Villa Patrizi is located by Porta Pia in the immediate vicinities of the English Embassy. It is just out of the main hussle and bussle of the city of Rome, which was nice. It is 5 minutes walk from the nearest tube station Policlinico. To go to many sites you need to change at Termani (the main tube station) but this is easy and simple to do. The tubes are quick and reliable. It takes between 10-20 minutes to get to most sites. Although we didn't use them there are also tube and bus links to the city. The hotel is 35km in distance and takes approx. 40 minutes in a taxi to Fiumicino (Leonardo Da Vinci) Airport and this costs about 50 euros. It is also about 23km in distance from Ciampino Airport. Within walking distance of the hotel are... Read review
