"Pros: A fabulous and peaceful spot. The accommodation had everything we needed. The sunsets were stunning. There were restaurants and bars a few minutes walk away. Cons: nothing" ~Lisa

"Pros: Villa Turistica is the main hotel in the delightful, fairly remote village of Bubion. For such a small village the hotel is very well-appointed. The rooms are in self-contained apartment blocks in a lovely distributed setting with associated outdoor spaces. My single room was better than expected - two large rooms, a well-equipped bathroom and veranda. The main hotel building has a restaurant every night and the staff were welcoming and professional. My visit was a solo hiking trip of 3 days and Bubion is just about the best location for hikes up and down the Poqueira valley although a rental car is advisable. Cons: While not a problem with the hotel at all, Bubion has very limited dining options at least in April. Like many travellers, I try not to eat in the hotel restaurant every single evening as it becomes rather monotonous and unadventurous. Some nights there was nowhere else to eat within walking distance. I expect in summer the choice is larger. The car park is not large enough. When the hotel is even partially full, it's a little chaos negotiating the randomly-parked vehicles. One one occasion I had to drive into the village and park on the street, without knowing whether it was permitted!" ~Richard

"Pros: Nice apartment, small but with all the necessary amenities. Management was kind enough to give us wood for the chimney on the first night." ~Matteo
